Unable to access Fog server management settings
-
Ubuntu 12.04.5
Sorry, until 2 days ago I had never touched a Linux server. I’m learning the commands as I go. It will take me some time to figure out how to copy those files so I can post them. Thanks for your patience.

What’s the version of FOG you have installed?
You can cat the file or use gedit if using a GUI based linux to read the files you need.
It sounds like the /var/www/fog folder isn’t copied or the apache2 service isn’t running.
-
I’m not using the GUI based Ubuntu, so everything has to be done via the command line. Unfortunately, I have been unable to successfully figure out how to copy the outputs of the files you requested. Can you tell me what I should be looking for and perhaps I can get that info to you?
Here are answers to some other things:
FOG version installed - 1.2.0
There is no FOG folder in /var/www. The only file listed is Index.html
I verified the Apache server was running when the server was still connected to my network (before I changed the IP information). I typed in the IP address in the browser of the connected PC and received the IT WORKS page from Apache. -
simplest way to get those file would be to log into the server with an ftp client, like filezilla
but if you don’t have a fog directory in your webroot, your install did not complete successfully -
[CODE]cat /var/log/apache2/error.log > sometextfile.txt[/CODE]
-
Or take a picture with a phone… and upload the picture… way simpler.

I just checked the fog install log. The only error message I found was under the section called Confirming package installation. Installation of package php5-gd failed.
-
ahhhhhh
So you don’t have a /var/www/fog folder because it doesn’t exist. It never made it that far.
Maybe you ran the ./installfog.sh as a non-root user:
Maybe retry running installer with:
[code]sudo ./installfog.sh[/code]

Tom,
I’m pretty sure I ran it with sudo since its in Liam’s how to. However, I just ran it again with sudo ./installfog.sh and still no fog folder. I still see the installation of package php5-gd failed then the script ends. Not sure if that is significant or not. -

Wayne,
I ran sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get upgrade earlier. Is that the same as what you are proposing? -
@Digital Dog,
Yes that’s what he was implying I think. Make sure the OS is updated/upgraded to the latest stuff available. It’s just odd that your’s is the first I’ve heard of not being able to install php5-gd.

He did say he was using the non-GUI version… that is different. Think that might have something to do with it?
-
Well, if it was going to happen to anyone it would be me.

i never use the GUI version for servers
-
I don’t have to use the non-GUI version. I chose it because that’s what the prior server had on it. You think it would be helpful to try the GUI version?
-
GUI Aside,
The issue you’re reporting where php5-gd is not being able to be installed is strange to me.
-
my point regarding the fact that i use a non-GUI version was simply to say that it shouldn’t be an issue.
Chris Wells may have found something that might be relevant [url]http://fogproject.org/forum/threads/not-a-problem-just-a-solution-i-found.12575/[/url] -
Could any of this be hardware related?

quick tip from another command line noob I use ssh to connect to my server from a windows box via putty anything I highlight with my mouse is in my paste buffer then I just copy it into my post directly or to a txt file also if you copy a command string from a windows post you can right click and past it directly to your command line.
