Can someone please explain what file this “fix” applies and maybe a bit more info for noobs like me to fix it ?
Thanks !

@Rusty This particular thread’s solution is quite old. Tom has since made many changes to how the installer handles this. I think it’s best to wait for @Tom-Elliott 's input.

@Wayne-Workman Thanks Wayne. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Mariadb. Fog installer recognises Mariadb has been installed but:

 * Setting up and starting MySQL...Note: Forwarding request to 'systemctl enable mysqld.service'.
Failed to issue method call: No such file or directory
OK
  * Backing up user reports...OK
  * Setting up and starting Apache Web Server...Note: Forwarding request to 'systemctl enable httpd.service'.
Failed! (3)

@Rusty what version of fog are you running? What OS and version of it too?

[Wayne Workman]

For the record, I just did a clean installation using SVN 4330 and CentOS 7 fully updated and it went just fine.

[Rusty]

I am running CentOS 7 with the latest FOG version

[Rusty]

I am starting from scratch so I might just continue with that first…
@Wayne-Workman did you follow all steps here ? https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Installation_on_CentOS_7

[Wayne Workman]

@Rusty No. After helping here so much and learning so much about fog and linux, I don’t even follow instructions anymore. I just wing it. Like you would wing installing a new program on Windows.

lets see, I think I can fit the entire installation into one single line…

Execute this as root.

yum update -y;yum install subversion -y;setenforce 0;systemctl stop firewalld;cd ~;mkdir svn;cd svn;svn co https://svn.code.sf.net/p/freeghost/code/trunk;cd trunk/bin;./installfog.sh

of course that just stops SELinux and Firewall, it doesn’t disable them. I think that article needs re-written, it was last modified in February 2015. A lot has changed since then.

And it looks like it gives you directions to install fog 0.32. Fog stable is 1.2.0, and Fog Trunk can install on CentOS 7 without any modifications besides selinux and firewall.

If you want something more comprehensive and up-to-date, the Fedora 21 server article works on CentOS 7, there are notes on the one line that need altered or discarded for CentOS 7 and Fedora 22 server.

That’s a great line @Wayne-Workman !
Installed without a hitch.

Both time I have installed FOG though, the password given at the end of the install doesn’t work.
Last time I looked up how to change it, after that I could log into the web interface.
