Unable to access Fog server management settings
-
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.

Digital Dog,
I’d like to point out that you don’t need to follow the previous guy’s documentation to a “T”. The FOG WiKi has lots of well written tutorials for installing FOG on many major flavors of Linux. Although I use Fedora myself, the most easy best is probably Ubuntu.
If you currently don’t have a working FOG box, there’s not a lot to loose… Have you recovered the old images? Keep the old documentation, just in case there’s any custom & wild configurations that are necessary in your environment.
That’s just my suggestion… Only because you’ve stumped people with this problem… Wipe and start new, don’t spend unnecessary time trying to fix some crazy problem that nobody has seen before.
And of course, we’re here to help you when you need it.
