FOG Is Inoperable After Server Reboot
-
Hello. I am new to Ubuntu and FOG, however I have learned a great deal about both in the past week. Does anyone know why I get asked to Update the Database Schema for a second time, after I reboot the server? I have installed clean versions of Ubuntu 13 and 14.04 (Latest Version), as well as clean installs of FOG (1.2.0 and 1.1.0) multiple times. I install FOG, install the schema, and everything works fine, untill I reboot the server. Once I do this, the FOG webpage tells me to update my schema again. If I click ‘Download and Install Schema’ it then gives me a very long page of what appears to be mysql errors. I have beat my head against the wall with this issue. By default, I have NOT been using a mysql password, but I have tried it both ways. Also, I am logged in as ‘Root’ when installing FOG.
Thank you for your help in advance.

run “service mysql restart” after the reboot and see if you can get in
-
I’ll try that. Thank you.
But if im not mistaken, I think I have tried that, and I get a message saying something regarding mysql not being installed.

If that works, chances are you’ll have to run “service FOGMulticastManager restart && service FOGImageReplicator restart && service FOGScheduler restart” to get everything running properly.

That’s kinda weird. Is there anything I can do so I don’t have to do this every time? Perhaps an older version? I guess it could be a problem with the MySQL that Ubuntu downloads during install.
-
[CODE]chkconfig --levels 235 mysqld on [/CODE]
That will do it assuming mysql is installed correctly. If not manually install mysql then run that command.

Ok, it did it again. Here is a screenshot after the server reboot. It wants me to update the schema again. When I try, this is what it gives me. And it’s pages long…

Banjo,
That error occurs when the SQL database information doesn’t match what is in fog. This is what I would suggest doing.
[LIST]
[]Open up [CODE]sudo nano /var/www/fog/lib/fog/Config.class.php[/CODE]
[LIST]
[]Notate both the host, username & password
[/LIST]
[]Open up [CODE]sudo nano /opt/fog/.fogsettings[/CODE]
[LIST]
[]Fill in the following portions
[/LIST]
[/LIST]
snmysqluser=“{root}”
snmysqlpass=“{password if you have one}”
snmysqlhost=“{localhost}”
[LIST]
[]Reset the mySQL database password to be what is in the config files
[LIST]
[]run [CODE]sudo dpkg-reconfigure mysql-server-5.5[/CODE] replace the last two numbers if using a different version of mySQL
[*]enter in the new password
[/LIST]
[/LIST]
If you still have issues re-run the installer. I tested with a VM using 14.04 and it resolved the same issue -
I just wanted to say that the reconfiguring of the MySQL database did it for me after I had this error following a kernel update. The kernel update fixed an issue I was having with [FONT=Calibri][COLOR=#000000]kswapd0 running my CPU to 100%. Now my server’s cpu is running at expected norms and my server is functioning normal. Thanks![/COLOR][/FONT]
