    My fog server was working great except I had a need for more space. I created a share and move the files to another server along with a dump of the sql db…here where things go wrong.
    I deleted the image files to clear space and then set a task to image my domain servers again. That process must have caused some sort of corruption in the database ( I’m guessing wildly here)
    after some thought I deleted the databases and decided to start over then tried it again. The corruption was still there. So I decided to do an reinstall of fog…I did some other stuff also but it is …in a fog… now (sorry I couldn’t help myself). Anyway I follow the instructions these instructions:
    #Uninstall FOG

    #remove service
    sudo rm /etc/init.d/FOGImageReplicator
    sudo rm /etc/init.d/FOGMulticastManager
    sudo rm /etc/init.d/FOGScheduler

    #delete fog database
    sudo mysql
    #(or ‘sudo mysql -p’ if you set a root password for mysql)
    drop database fog;
    quit

    #Remove files
    sudo rm -rf /var/www/fog
    sudo rm -rf /opt/fog
    sudo rm -rf /tftpboot
    sudo rm -rf /images

    #delete fog system user
    sudo userdel fog

    rebooted the server and reinstalled fog thinking that I would just re-register the computers and connect them to the new images.

    What is happening is now the computers are transmitting the images to the fog server, but they are not registed.
    I suspect there is something that is written on the computers to do this.

    Thanks for reading,

    Damian

      When you setup the task before uninstallation, did your systems start uploading their images?

      I don’t know what else to suggest here.

      Please help us build the FOG community with everyone involved. It's not just about coding - way more we need people to test things, update documentation and most importantly work on uniting the community of people enjoying and working on FOG! Get in contact with me (chat bubble in the top right corner) if you want to join in.

      Web GUI issue? Please check apache error (debian/ubuntu: /var/log/apache2/error.log, centos/fedora/rhel: /var/log/httpd/error_log) and php-fpm log (/var/log/php*-fpm.log)

      Please support FOG if you like it: https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Support_FOG

        The systems would come back with an error. Unfortunately I didn’t document what it was…I assumed the problem was that I removed the original images. The server only has 1tb of space and I still have several computers I want to have imaged before the inevitable happens.
