        Tom,
        I’m getting a message “Access denied for user ‘root’ @ ‘localhost’ (using password: NO)”.

          So you set a password for your mysql?

          Change the code to:
          [code]mysql -u root -p fog[/code]

          Enter the password set for the mysql user. Once in:

          [code]
          update globalSettings set settingValue=‘1’ where settingKey=‘FOG_INACTIVITY_TIMEOUT’;
          exit;[/code]

            Ok Tom, I’m clearly typing something incorrectly. Received "Unknown database ‘fog[/code[’ I’ve tried several different ways of typing it but no luck.

                I made the changes, but it did not resolve the issue. I finally just wiped the server and started over. I’m back in the management portal, but am concerned to make any changes. Does anyone know which items are causing this problem?

                  We need to troubleshoot EXACTLY what change in the web GUI is causing this… wiping/reinstalling (while I understand you need to remain productive at work) does not help us do that.

                    I appreciate the feedback, however, as you said, I have to remain productive at work. I have been without an imaging server for 3 days now and the customers aren’t going to continue to wait. I have made changes via the web GUI without any issues so far. In order to try to determine which changes are causing the problem, I am saving after each change instead of waiting to save once all changes are done. It’s tedious, but it might help isolate the problem. I will re-post if I experience it again. Thank you all for you assistance.

                      That shouldn’t really matter. The reason is for all of the save buttons on that page, it saves all entries. The button’s only there to help you know where you last made changes at.

                        [quote=“Uncle Frank, post: 43753, member: 28116”]Make sure you always have phpmyadmin installed and you’ll be back in the game…

                        Can you reproduce this again?? Install phpmyadmin (if not installed already), make changes to your settings till you get locked off. Let yourself in again and try again… We need to reproduce the error to be able to fin a fix![/quote]

                        I’ve been using my new setup in the vm without any problems. Have made several changes to the settings without issue. So no, I haven’t been able to reproduce it. 😞 But, two things I did not install on the new vm were phpmyadmin and webmin - didn’t need them since I can easily access the server directly through VMware. Don’t know if one of them is maybe the culprit.

                          Thanks for reporting back although I am not happy that at least two people had an issue with this but we are unable to find out why! I have phpmyadmin installed on all my FOG servers so I suspect it to not be the problem. And I’d really wonder if webmin plays a role in this either. But could you still install webmin just to make sure??

                            I hate to try to break a working server but since it’s a vm I guess it’s not a big deal - just take a snapshot before I do it. So…for the greater good…I’m off to try to crash my server. 🙂

                              Installed phpmyadmin and webmin on my working vm after taking a snapshot. Signed in to both to confirm that they’re working. In the FOG web interface I went to FOG Configuration | Active Directory Defaults (this is one of the areas that made it stop working before). I made some changes and then clicked the Save Changes button…and of course it works without any problem. Went down to the TFTP section (which was where it crashed the very first time) and made some changes. Hit the Save Changes button - no problem.

                              Couple of observations:
                              1.) This vm Ubuntu install (12.04) has current updates installed. My first two that crashed did not.
                              2.) Don’t know if the order of install makes any difference (phpmyadmin before webmin or vice versa).

                              Gotta love seemingly unrepeatable bugs. 😞

                                So,

                                Does anyone care to install Ubuntu 12.04 and apply no updates, then install phpmyadmin and webmin, and then jack around with TFTP and AD passwords?

                                NOT ME. I is happily Fedora going. 🙂

                                I’ll catch the next Fedora bug we find 😉

                                  Alright, I call this solved (eventhough it really isn’t). We’d be very happy to hear if someone can reproduce this so we are able to fix it. For everyone running into this: see post #39 in this thread on how to solve the issue yourself!
