Solved FOG 1.2.0 to Trunk rev 6741 Failing (blank screen at schema updater)

[Chris Meyer]

I have been going round and round trying to update to the latest trunk and no matter what I do, I get a blank page when it stats to go to http://fog/fog/managment to update database schema. I have trying updating from FOG 1.2.0, just installing the trunk on fresh Ubuntu 14.04 and have tried many of the fixes on the site and still no resolution. It has to be something simple I am overlooking. Please Help!! Thank you in advance!!

Please update and if you need more info here’s the info as to the issue (and how I’m now approaching it).

The timezone is not set in the php.ini file and causes an error on a fresh install! Edit the php.ini (should be /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini on Ubuntu) and edit the ‘date.timezone’ entry. Mine looks like this:

...
[Date]
; Defines the default timezone used by the date functions
; http://php.net/date.timezone
date.timezone = Europe/Berlin
...

PS: Make sure you remove the leading ; as well. Then restart apache service (service apache2 restart) and you should be able to see the web interface again.

@Sebastian-Roth Also here are the error logs from apache and the fog install

When doing “svn up” it was updated to rev 5021, when installing it says version 6743, but the same issue exists. The installer completes, but FOG no longer works. Attached are some screen shots of what I get. thanks

@Chris-Meyer The apache error log (on Ubuntu that is /var/log/apache2/error.log) is what you are looking for to get more information on the error. As well update to the latest (git pull or svn up) - 6741 is not current trunk. The issue might be fixed already!
