Moving Images and changing image location
-
Do what Tom says first. If that doesn’t work, then try this:
Can we try moving your DB to a new spot temporarily?
[CODE]mv /var/lib/mysql /var/lib/mysqlOLD[/CODE]
Then try re-starting apache and/or re-installing FOG.
-
Well Apache starts now, but I get a blank screen when I open up the webpage.
-
Shift + F5
-
Refreshing with Shift+F5 did not work. Just for transparency I did what Tom said and that fixed Apache. I did not do what Wayne suggested.

Can you get a copy of the Apache error logs -
This is a snippet of the bottom of the log:
Any more ideas about getting the page to show properly, rather than just white? Should I do what Wayne suggested?
-
Well… What i suggested can easily be un-done by just swapping the directories back.
You might ought to export your DB before hand.
backup:
[CODE]mysqldump -u root -p[root_password] [database_name] > dumpfilename.sql[/CODE]restore:
[CODE]mysql -u root -p[root_password] [database_name] < dumpfilename.sql[/CODE]Move the db out:
[CODE]mv /var/lib/mysql /var/lib/mysqlOLD[/CODE]Put the db back:
[CODE]mv /var/lib/mysqlOLD /var/lib/mysql[/CODE]After moving the DB out of there, you should be presented with the DB schema updater. Go ahead and do it. It can always be undone later by moving the files back.
-
Can you check that MySQL is running and if you have a MySQL password that it is properly set in config?
-
MySQL is running and .fogsettings has the password set properly
-
Anybody have any other ideas? If I can’t solve both the blank FOG Homepage and having the images in the new location by early next week I will just have to completely redo my FOG machine.
-
I’m willing to help via TeamViewer if you’re up for it. PM me.
-
via TeamViewer,
I updated the OS, then ripped out everything that had anything to do with PHP.
The x.x.x.x/fog/management login screen shows now, at least.
Going to look at the new image location now.

Looks like vsftp is a big part of the problem… I have to head home in about 15 minutes…
Posting this for others to look at.
I’ve tried several ways to get rid of it so I can reinstall it but none work.

Anyone have any ideas on this?
-
If no one else has any ideas I might need to just wipe the system and start over, but I am going to hold off until this afternoon. I have several systems to set up before the end of the week. Thanks for all the work Wayne.
-
Where does /etc/rc2.d/S20vsftpd link? And does that file exist?
-
It is a broken link:
Type: Link (broken) (inode/symlink)
Link Target: …/init.d/vsftpd -
Well since no one has anything further to try I am going to wipe the system and start over. Thanks for trying all.
-
I am always trying to help, but I too am busy.
Hopefully you check messages before you wipe.
I’m about 99% certain if I can look, I can likely fix it.
-
To fix removing vsftpd removed the /etc/rc2.d/20vsftpd link. Removed the original /etc/vsftpd.conf file and then was able to purge vsftpd from the server.
Added the fstab to make the filesystem boot to the same location everytime.
Checked all settings and file size is now reporting properly.
