Tom,
I’m noticing on the latest build on 3180 that when you open list all hosts it takes forever to ping. Basically the GUI lags out and you cant do anything. Looking at your past comments on revisions, I saw you were addressing this. Not sure if you were still aware that its still an issue.

Tom,
Installing latest SVN and getting PHP Warning on the install couldn’t fetch mysqli in /var/www/fog/lib/db/MYSQL.class.php on line 90 and 120.
-
This isn’t necessarily an issue. If the messages are occurring during the update (and you have a browser open with fog trying to request information, when the services are restarted you will see these messages.

The issue I figured out is it has to do with my SQL password on config class. I have 3 $$$ in my password and normally i have to go into my configclass.php file and change password back when upgrading. I do this before schema update. Once I do this, I can proceed with database schema update and all works fine. So the issue now is in the install script writes to the SQL database during the kernel install before the schema update prompt . At this point, password isn’t changed yet and its throwing that error.
Hope that makes sense.Ray

It makes sense, but I have no means to know what your password is going to be and whether or not they’re going to contain technically illegal characters.
One of the way’s to help out I suppose is edit your/opt/fog/.fogsettings file and set the password so it’s escaping the $$$ with something like $$$
-
When i go to opt/fog/ there is no .fogsettings file.
-
can you run ls -lhart on the directory /opt/fog?
-
its a hidden file hence the . in the front of the file name. just do a nano .fogsettings or a vi .fogsettings or your favorite text editor
-
My bad i figured it out… hidden file.

Pinging issue is still present tho. I have 311 PCs and if I hit list all clients and its in the middle of pinging every client, I cant advance to another screen.
-
Do you require the host pinging?
-
Question… What was the last SVN revision released that didn’t use the new client? And how good of a build is it?
I’m thinking about upgrading but I’m not necessarily wanting to use the new client just yet, we have a lot of computers here running the old one.
Also, another question…
What happens to the old clients out in production when the new client is enabled on the FOG server?

[quote=“Tom Elliott, post: 44237, member: 7271”]SVN 3138 released. With this release comes many more things. Specifically the Beta FOG Client is available now and is downloadable from the FOG GUI as normal. There are two links. One for Legacy and one for New. Hopefully this is self explanatory.
[/quote]Both Clients are available still in the latest SVN. You will should not have to do anything using the old client at this point. If you wish to use the new client then you will need to change an option in Settings.
It is [B]NOT[/B] suggested to have both clients in the same environment.

Tom,
No I really don’t need the pinging feature , however it worked in previous svns.

SVN 3215 released.
This has some changes to how host management works. It also, apparently, better fixes the random mac delete issue. It was working find for the primary, but pending and additional macs might have been lost as well. In this case, it could be bad especially for Laptops with wireless cards checking in, but not wired mac.
It also includes a checker to see if you’re in any of the directories we move during the installation so you don’t suddenly pull the rug under the feet of the script. Hopefully this isn’t a common problem people are running into, but I know we all forget things sometimes. This should help alleviate a momentary laps of how to install FOG when it’s in the tftpboot or fog web GUI folders to run the installs.
-
SVN 3224 released. With this comes some minor bug fixes particularly for green fog and should fix the seemingly random failure of getting the new client. One time all would be fine the next it would fail. To fix I now just tell it exactly what to get so hopefully this will work better.
-
Tom,
I just tried updating to SVN 3241 and during the install to update the database, I try to go to the admin section on the gui to perform the update and it just spins. Cant bring up the gui at all.
