Scheduled cron tasks don't start

@raymondub You’ve been running version 5453 this whole time?

What are your “steps” to updating to the latest?

raymondub

@Tom-Elliott
wget --no-check-certificate http://mastacontrola.com/fog_trunk.tar.bz2
tar -xjf fog_trunk.tar.bz2
cd XXX
./installfog.sh
and followed the instructions like i saw somewhere on the wiki.
But when i check the history, i remember that i had to reinstall some package:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get --purge --reinstall install apache2 libapache2-mod-php5

I red that with the svn, it was possible to backup/restore only a partition and it was what i needed. Cause it was stable, i stayed in that version 5453

Sebastian Roth

@raymondub Here is how you usually to upgrades: https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=Upgrade_to_trunk (I prefer using git over svn but they both work!)

I red that with the svn, it was possible to backup/restore only a partition and it was what i needed.

Have you ever tried doing just one partition? If I remember correctly we just fixed a major bug with single partition restore!

raymondub

hi,
i just did… and same problem. The computer doesn t power on and fog doesn t not start.
But nothing happen… I choose a “normal” task, than everything is working fine, the computer is switch on and fog is started.

Some info about my image:

mp-V1-Part - 34
default: Windows 7
Multiple Partition Image - All Disks (Not Resizable)
Partition 2 only <= **is that what you mean ?**

Is there somewhere another error file with more derails than /var/log/fog/fogscheduler.log ?
thx !

@raymondub Can you simply update to the latest? Using SVN or GIT would be better than the tarball, as I don’t know the exact steps you’re using. Wget, often, creates a new file in the form of:

nameofFile.ext
nameofFile.ext.1
nameofFile.ext.2

So if you are in the same directory that you downloaded fog_trunk.tar.bz2 on, you can probably run:
ls -lhart and you’ll likely find something along the lines of:

fog_trunk.tar.bz2
fog_trunk.tar.bz2.1
fog_trunk.tar.bz2.2
fog_trunk.tar.bz2.3
fog_trunk.tar.bz2.4

I’m guessing you’re not updating anything (ever) and simply reinstalling the original first downloaded file.

raymondub

Steps to install:

clean install 1.2.0:
download from https://sourceforge.net/projects/freeghost/files/latest/download
tar xzf fog_1.2.0.tar.gz
cd fog_1.2.0/bin
./installfog.sh

  FOG now has everything it needs to setup your server, but please
  understand that this script will overwrite any setting you may
  have setup for services like DHCP, apache, pxe, tftp, and NFS.

  It is not recommended that you install this on a production system
  as this script modifies many of your system settings.

  This script should be run by the root user on Redhat or with sudo on Ubuntu.

  ** Notice ** Redhat users will need to disable SELinux and iptables in
  order to use FOG
  Please see our wiki for more information at http://www.fogproject.org/wiki


  Here are the settings FOG will use:
         Base Linux: Debian
         Detected Linux Distribution: Ubuntu
         Installation Type: Normal Server
         Server IP Address: X.X.X.X
         DHCP router Address: X.X.X.X
         DHCP DNS Address: X.X.X.X
         Interface: eth0
         Using FOG DHCP: 0
         Internationalization: 0
         Donate: 0

         DHCP will NOT be setup but you must setup your
         current DHCP server to use FOG for PXE services.

         On a Linux DHCP server you must set:
             next-server

         On a Windows DHCP server you must set:
             option 066 & 067

                   Option 066 is the IP of the FOG Server: (e.g. X.X.X.X)
                   Option 067 is the undionly.kpxe file: (e.g. undionly.kpxe)

  Are you sure you wish to continue (Y/N)

Run the command for the database

1.2.0 is working…

I updated some password for fog user and tftp

sudo apt-get update && apt-get install git
cd /root/fogproject

I tried to remove mysql* apache2* php* and start again the install of the svn but it failed at the same point. I remember that i had that kind of problem last time.
I ll try to install a all new ubuntu 12.04 tomorrow but question… To install the svn, do it need to install fog 1.2.0 first ?
thx

Sebastian Roth

@raymondub Tom was asking you to update to the very latest version via git or svn: https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=Upgrade_to_trunk

You don’t need to worry about FOG 1.2.0 at all anymore. Just go straight to trunk via git/svn.

Please check the install error log in the same directory where you run the installer from, so fogproject/bin/error_log/... and let us know what exactly goes wrong…

raymondub

@Sebastian-Roth
I just made a new fresh installation without putting fog 1.2.0 but the setup failed all the time at the same point
libapache2-mod-evasive :Can’t intall - unmet dependencies apache2.2-common
My knowledge of ubuntu is not good enough to change that kind of depedencies
I am using Ubuntu 12.04.5 LTS, do you recommend me to choose another version ?

0_1461933080226_fog_error_7410.log

Sebastian Roth

@raymondub Please edit fogproject/lib/ubuntu/config.sh and remove libapache2-mod-evasive in the packages listing line (there are two!!). Then try installing again. Does it work?

raymondub

@Sebastian-Roth said in Scheduled cron tasks don't start:

libapache2-mod-evasive

Yes that kind of modification is working. Except that i had to modify that in the file fogproject/lib/common/functions.sh

root@ubufog2:~# grep -lR "libapache2-mod-evasive" *
fogproject/lib/common/.svn/text-base/functions.sh.svn-base
fogproject/lib/common/functions.sh
root@ubufog2:~#

Thank you !
I ll create a new image and see if if i can schedule the restore with this version
