Solved Creating Groups With Fog .32

[silentsoul]

FOG version .32
Ubuntu 10.04 LTS

When attempting to create groups over 960 or so members the task will error out with no output and no group created.

These hosts were imported using host upload.
They contain host names and mac address’s.

With version .29 I was able to create a group of over 1039 host.

There is also no output in the gui for things like, when a group is created and no group is chosen to place the host in.

In version .29 there was an error:
[B][COLOR=#2c2c2c][SIZE=10px][FONT=arial]Please select or create a new group![/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR][/B]
[B][COLOR=#2c2c2c][SIZE=10px][FONT=arial][/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR][/B]
These errors seem to be coded inside
hosts.include.php

I realize this report is extremely old but thought I would add some insight. This error, as described, was most likely related to memory rather than something between versions. The move between 0.29 and 0.32 changed a bit how hosts were connected. This connection essential made the host its own manager rather than a series of statements to get pertinent text for printing to the screen. Because the hosts managed themselves as objects, there is a point where the number of items in store would reach the memory limit as set by php. This is still the case today, and while memory limit issues still occur, we now have a method that allows you to set the memory limit fog can use directly in the fog settings area.
