Fog Tweaks

[Wolfbane8653]

As developers run across improvements they often send word to others that there are some tweaks you can do to increase performance of FOG. To help spread it a little better I’m putting this out in the open and if any other GENERAL tweaks can be applied please post them here.

MMMMM Updater script

When doing constant updates (as is the case with most of us devs or beta testers) a quicker means to update (now that the init’s and such are downloaded at install) would be to copy the files you need.

Step one make a backup of the original:

For Ubuntu/Debian based setups.
[code]sudo cp /var/www/fog/lib/fog/Config.class.php ~/Config.class.php #backup current config file.
sudo rm -rf /var/www/fog.prev #removes the original previous folder if it exists.
sudo mv /var/www/fog /var/www/fog.prev #moves the current into fog.prev for backup
cd /loc/of/svn/folder/trunk; svn up #update the trunk to the latest
sudo cp /loc/of/svn/folder/trunk/packages/web /var/www/fog #copy the new svn gui to the system.
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/fog; sudo chown -R fog:www-data /var/www/fog/service/ipxe; #change permissions to appropriate values.
sudo cp ~/Config.class.php /var/www/fog/lib/fog/Config.class.php #copy back config[/code]

For Redhat based setups.
[code]cp /var/www/html/fog/lib/fog/Config.class.php ~/Config.class.php #backup current config file.
rm -rf /var/www/html/fog.prev #removes the original previous folder if it exists.
mv /var/www/html/fog /var/www/html/fog.prev #moves the current into fog.prev for backup
cd /loc/of/svn/folder/trunk; svn up #update the trunk to the latest
cp /loc/of/svn/folder/trunk/packages/web /var/www/html/fog #copy the new svn gui to the system.
chown -R apache:apache /var/www/html/fog; sudo -R fog:apache /var/www/html/fog/service/ipxe; #change permissions to appropriate values.
cp ~/Config.class.php /var/www/html/fog/lib/fog/Config.class.php #copy back config[/code]

Maybe this helps frequent updates?

this is more of an apache tweak, but since fog uses apache…
