Unable to access the FOG URL(remote user interface)

[JustinGSEIWI]

They are the entire log. I’ll check again to make sure but I did control A to select all.

Can you make sure the mysql service is running?

“sudo /etc/init.d/mysql start”

[JustinGSEIWI]

Yes that is the entire /var/log/apache2/error.log.

[JustinGSEIWI]

I entered that command and it said it started but still can’t access the FOG console.

[BPSTravis]

Did you ever get a page to show up on 192.168.1.5/fog/, even if it just said “Click here to upgrade database”?

[JustinGSEIWI]

No, I was never able to access the page. I followed the install direction in the link above. I am not sure where I went wrong.

[JustinGSEIWI]

This is a fresh install of Ubuntu as well. When I installed, I created an IT user that has a password. That is separate from the root which I enabled after the install. When I tried to enter the commands you put above, I was always asked to enter the IT password even though I am logged on as root. Could that of had to do with anything?

[JustinGSEIWI]

I used a different IP address then the default they recommended. I am also connected to a router on my home network but that should have nothing to do with locally connecting to the fog console right? I am unable to access it even if I disconnect all network connections. I know I have the IP right since I get the “It works!” page.

[code]tail -100f /var/log/apache2/error.log[/code]

Keep the terminal running.

Try accessing the page:
192.168.1.5/fog

Does it try to redirect you to: 192.1.68.1.5/fog/commons/index.php?redir=1 ?

[JustinGSEIWI]

Thanks for the reply but I am already reinstalling. It should not be this hard so something must of went wrong. I’ll let you know if I still have this issue after reinstalling.

Thanks,

Justin

which version of Ubuntu, and did you make sure to update the system before you run the FOG installer? (sudo apt-get update, sudo apt-get upgrade)

[JustinGSEIWI]

I installed Ubuntu 14.04 LTS 64-bit. I just ran the two commands you sent me. I will now try to install FOG and let you know if the same issues occurs.

Thanks,

Justin

Did you see the thread about Ubuntu 14.04 and the changes to the apache2 documents directory changing from /var/www to /var/www/html

My recommendation, [B]don’t[/B]. 14.04 was just recently released, you may be biting off more than you can chew. I haven’t even tested 14.04 to it’s fullest capabilites with FOG yet, so, I advise you to use 13.10 or something older. There have been changes to apache2 in 14.04, the folder that is now doing the serving is in /var/www/html instead of /var/www like it has been previously, the fix for this is simple, but I am not sure 9as I have not tested) what else may be broken or may not be functioning without adjustments.

If you are dead set on installing FOG on Ubuntu 14.04… download the fog zip file, decompress and follow the installation instructions. After it tells you that the install was a success and the installer asks you to perform the schema update, insert the following command

[code]
sudo ln -s /var/www/fog var/www/html/fog
[/code]

Now you may proceed with updating the schema at the url.

There is also a wiki for 14.04.

[JustinGSEIWI]

Thank you for the replies.

Since I already have the latest version installed. I will just try that quick. If it works, great. If not, then i’ll go back to version 13.
