Odd pending host issues

[jamesb]

I’m having some really weird issues with the latest SVN (3225). Sometimes when a host that has been imaged reboots it will want to show up in the pending hosts section of FOG, but when I look at the pending hosts section there is nothing there. So I look at the database and notice that the machine and MAC address is a hostID of 0. In order to correct this I change the hostID to the next sequential number that FOG hasn’t used yet. That allows the host to show up in the pending hosts section so I can approve it. This shouldn’t be happening however. Every host is manually entered before it’s imaged so there is no reason for it to show up in the pending hosts section. This happens on random machines. I also have host registration turned off so it shouldn’t add hosts unless they are done manually. I haven’t found any apache error codes that could reflect why this is happening. They are hard enough to find since this issue is random.

These are the latest errors in apache that I have been getting. I’m not sure if it relates to this issue at all however.

Now this seems to happen to almost every new host that is added. It seems to never get a proper hostID in the data base so I’m constantly having to go into the database and give it a proper hostID.

I think I’ve narrowed down exactly what’s happening.

It’s not “random” though it certainly feels like it is. I did fix the random deletion of the individual host but I wasn’t aware previous hosts added were having the same problem, until I looked much deeper into it last night. I don’t know what it was, but I did get to make a lot more refined and from what I’ve been able to test (after verifying the problem) I’ve not been able to replicate it any more. 3230 should hopefully make this a non-issue anymore. Hopefully.

Hi,

i have exactly the same issue.

then after the link on here:

empty…

Maybe it has started while i was testing sysprepping with a virtual box vm where i often captured and redeployed with same macs.
For some reason i resetted encryption data for this hosts via mysql in the shell.

Last night i installed fog service on my productive machine and in the webif today i could see that there is a pending host but when i click on it i see an empty list.

How can i solve this?

@x23piracy Update. Instructions on that can be found in the “Upgrade to Trunk” wiki article. In fogproject wiki, not sourceforge wiki.

Upgrade to Trunk

Do you mean this? https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Upgrade_to_trunk
I cannot find any occurance of pending.

What do you mean with Update? Update trunk again?

Regards X23

[Wayne Workman]

@x23piracy Yes, update again. Patches are pushed many, many times a day. The senior developer has already said in this thread that he thinks he’s fixed the issue. So to get the patch, you must update.

actually, Tom’s comment and the original problem listed in the thread are probably unrelated since x23piracy is resurrecting a year old thread…

@Junkhacker Didn’t even notice that.
