Sorry that was on the server

Oh… lol awesome.

@Raymond-Bell Perhaps check this out? https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Troubleshoot_FTP

That article is written from the perspective of troubleshooting the primary FOG server, but I don’t imagine a lot to be different on a storage node.

Also, when you issue the vsftpd restart command, are there any errors? What is the output of the status command ON the STORAGE NODE ?

Have you checked for things like firewall and SELinux? Permissions? Is the credentials for FTP set correctly for that storage node? on the main FOG server?

@Tom-Elliott

fog@fog-virtual-machine:~$ sudo service vsftpd status
vsftpd start/running, process 27945

[Tom Elliott]

sudo service vsftpd status

[Raymond Bell]

@Tom-Elliott how do i tell

[Tom Elliott]

Is vsftpd running?

[Raymond Bell]

@Tom-Elliott Yes it works now… Thanks but i am unable to FTP to that storage node

Status:	Connection attempt failed with "ECONNREFUSED - Connection refused by server".
Error:	Could not connect to server```

Should i not be able to ftp to it i had always before

[Tom Elliott]

@Raymond-Bell Can you setup as the master and see if things start working for you?

[Raymond Bell]

@Tom-Elliott Yes there is and i just seen that the master node is not set as master now

[Tom Elliott]

Based on what I am seeing, is there a storage node assigned to the image you’re working with?

@Wayne-Workman i have re-run the installer and everything installed fine

But i am having the same issue

@Raymond-Bell said:

will it keep all my database?

Yes. But I’d recommend you export your DB for safe keeping prior to making any changes to your production FOG server. This is just good practice.

FOG Configuration -> Configuration Save -> Export

[Raymond Bell]

will it keep all my database?

Now that’s interesting…

Can you try to re-run the 1.2.0 installer? It’ll re-use your settings from before.

As @cml asked, do you see any Apache errors?
