hi,

and thanks for the reply!

I’m working on a Debian GNU/Linux wheezy/sid
root@foggy:# uname -a
Linux foggy 3.2.0-2-amd64 #1 SMP Sun Apr 15 16:47:38 UTC 2012 x86_64 GNU/Linux

I installed on the vanilla debian (netinstall) the fog_0.32.tar.gz package.

The configuration I used is:

Distro: Ubuntu
Installation Type: Normal Server
Server IP Address: x.x.35.223
DHCP router Address: x.x.35.225
DHCP DNS Address: x.x.35.1
Interface: eth0
Using FOG DHCP: 0
Internationalization: 0

I have a single machine with web UI, tftp and storage, while DNS and DHCP
are on different machines.

The fox machine has 1 user fog with password mypass,
and I can connect to it via ssh or ftp.

I setted mypass in the database as:

sudo mysql -p’password’
use fog;
UPDATE users SET uPass = MD5(‘mypass’) WHERE uName = ‘fog’;
exit;

in the file /var/www/fog/commons/config.php I have:

define( “TFTP_FTP_USERNAME”, “fog” );
define( “TFTP_FTP_PASSWORD”, “mypass” );
…
define( “STORAGE_FTP_USERNAME”, “fog” );
define( “STORAGE_FTP_PASSWORD”, “mypass” );

define( “MYSQL_HOST”, “localhost” );
define( “MYSQL_DATABASE”, “fog” );
define( “MYSQL_USERNAME”, “root” );
define( “MYSQL_PASSWORD”, “mypass” );

I think I setted all the password to mypass.

in the web UI -> Fog Settings, I see, as password:

FOG Storage Nodes
FOG_STORAGENODE_MYSQLUSERfogstorage
FOG_STORAGENODE_MYSQLPASSmypass

TFTP server
FOG_TFTP_FTP_USERNAMEfog
FOG_TFTP_FTP_PASSWORDmypass

Am I missing other passwords?

Have you gone through and updated your TFTP password and default storage password after you installed FOG?

I can correctly access to TFTP (no password), and ftp (using mypass).

The default storage password how cam be setted? where is used?

thanks again
giammy

If you haven’t yet, make sure you click on the storage nodes icon in the web ui (at the main ui page) and go update the password there.

[giammy]

hi,

in storage management, all storage nodes, default member, I have:

Management Username fog
Management Password mypass

I must I I do not have a very clear understanding of the use of this password:
from what I understand, the linux box has 1 user and 1 mypass to access
both via ssh and ftp: the linux box needs to have other access types?

thanks
giammy

Hey hiii, i have also same problem that you are facing…
I also attached its screenshot in this link thread, check this:
[url]http://fogproject.org/forum/threads/fog-image-uplaoding-not-starting.702/[/url]

[giammy]

hi,

looking at the webserver logs, when I click on “Upload Image”
(and got a blank page) I see various errors.

Can this problem be caused by a wrong php version?
i installed debian testing netinstall, and run the fog
installation script which installed the needed software.

The php version I have now is php5 5.4.0-3.

Can this be a problem?
Is there a php reccomended version?

thanks
giammy

You should be seeing a similar page to the one attached.
If not there could be a problem with you FOG install.

[giammy]

hi,

I agree: there a problem in my installation ad I get a blank page, not the one yuo attached!
I’m trying to find out ehich is the problem

bye
giammy

[Glyn]

When I set up FOG I let the installer download & install the packages that it required, did you do this?

[giammy]

Hi,

I found out the problem: it was the PHP version.

I install fog letting the installer to download all it needs, but the first installation
was debian testing, which install php5.4, which is NOT compatible with FOG.

I reinstalled all the PC with a debian 6.04 (the last stable), which comes with
php 5.3 and everything go up and works!

thanks for the help
giammy

[Glyn]

Glad you got it working & good to know that PHP5.4 isn’t supported yet. I assume it will be in the next release.

[mpmackenna]

This is still an issue. When will PHP 5.4 be supported? What is the best way to force Debian 7 to run PHP 5.3 instead of 5.4?

[chad-bisd]

I’m pretty sure when the next version of FOG comes out, this will be fixed because it’s a pretty big code rewrite. For now, just change the code and replace the calls to the functions that are using referenced variables. There are several posts showing what to change and out. I think what you’re looking for is &$tmp

[mpmackenna]

Awesome, thanks!
