      Did you verify that Mysql was running?

      try this:
      [code]
      sudo service mysql restart[/code]

        Also,

        Make sure your connecting to the proper database. The file /var/www/fog/lib/fog/Config.class.php should have only 4 lines that really deal with connecting to the database server. They fall under the method db_settings.

        The major ones to be aware of are:
        DATABASE_HOST
        DATABASE_USERNAME
        DATABASE_PASSWORD

        Make sure these values are set correctly. Also verify the DATABASE_NAME is set correctly pertaining to your database (default is fog)

        The USERNAME for a Server is typically root

        The HOST for a server is typically 127.0.0.1 or localhost

        The password is whatever you set during install time if you set one. If not it will most likely be “” or ‘’

        If you’re not connecting to 127.0.0.1/localhost and actually connecting to an IP address of your fog server (e.g. 10.59.32.10) Then chances are, i’m going to guess here, you’re running ubuntu or debian derivative of some sort? Make sure the /etc/mysql/my.cnf has a commented bind-address line and if you have to change this line to make it commented (make it look like #bind-address), restart the mysql service.[code]sudo service mysql restart[/code]

        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
