Creating images

[quote=“Junkhacker, post: 36314, member: 21583”]this is usually a sign of a FTP issue, most likely an incorrect password[/quote]

Where do I set this password?

[Junkhacker]

Fog configuration > Fog settings > TFTP Server > FOG_TFTP_FTP_PASSWORD and
Storage Management > <storage node, usually default> > Management Password
should usually match and be a valid for FTP login

Do you need to use fogcrypt for this password?

[Junkhacker]

no, this is unencrypted

What tells the client what the password is and when does it tell it? The client it saying invalid FTP password and prints out the old password. I did change the password at the same time it was creatinbg an image.

[Junkhacker]

the client isn’t told this password, it is used by the fog server to complete the move by ftp when the client tells it that it is finished uploading

I changed the TFTP password and I got the below error.

Now afte the upload task finishes the image I get an Error FOGFTP login failed. Host 192.168.131.50, UIsername: fog password 21c565abee44cbdb83f51a1814b8cf92, Error: ftp_login() [a href=‘function.ftp-login’>function.ftp-login(/a)]: Login incorrect.

Then I changed the password back to 21c565abee44cbdb83f51a1814b8cf92 and I still get the error after an upload.

How do I convince this thing what the password is?

[Junkhacker]

well, is it a valid password? this is the password for the user “fog” on your linux server

I had changed the Linux password for the user fog to password and the password for the TFTP server to password and I got the same error with the same password of 21c… Can you think of a reason it was still trying to use the old password?

[Junkhacker]

did you update the password in storage management?

[quote=“Junkhacker, post: 36396, member: 21583”]did you update the password in storage management?[/quote]

I am not sure how to update the password in storage management?

[Junkhacker]

on the storage management page
Storage Management > <storage node, usually default> > Management Password

OK, I have set the password in TFTP, Storage management and the fog linux password to be identical. Starting an upload to see if it works. Takes about 4 hours until it fails. Seems like it gets the image all uploaded and then crashes.

Thanks!!

That worked!!! It now creates and restores an image.

Thanks!!!

I am having the same issue. I already checked and my passwords are the same in both those places. We did change our DHCP server, but images come down fine so i think tftp 66 and 67 are set ok in it. Also I can ftp into the box using the credentials.

[Roger Saffle]

hmmm. seemed to have worked. I moved the files over manually to /images but didnt like the image. I went and uploaded a new image. Worked then. But I had already made the dir in /images.
