      @rhekkers No problem, definitely stick with 14.04, there have been problems reported with 16.04 and some of the packages FOG installs.

        @ITSolutions I’ve seen them. Tried 16.04 first but has some PHP5 issues, now trying 14.04 which installed fine with 1.2. But now the trunk installation won’t let me install/update my database.

        Reinstalled Ubuntu and fog (14.04.1LTS), but still the Error communicating with the database on a blank screen in Firefox.
        It said it installed anything, but didn’t ask me for a password for the database. I gave the instruction I left the password for the database blank.

          @rhekkers Can you check to see if mysql is running?

          sudo /etc/init.d/mysql status

          If not then try starting it, sometimes the installer doesn’t start it correctly

          sudo /etc/init.d/mysql start

            It was running as process 14020, tried restarting it through
            sudo /etc/init.d/mysql restart
            and through
            sudo /etc/init.d/mysql stop
            sudo /etc/init.d/mysql start
            sadly it made no difference.

              @rhekkers Can you check /opt/fog/.fogsettings and see if the following lines are in it

              snmysqluser="root";
              snmysqlpass="this may contain a password";
              snmysqlhost="p:localhost";

              If you left the password blank then the snmysqlpass should look like this,

              snmysqlpass='';

              If it isn’t try blanking it out and rerunning the installer to see if it fixes the issue.

                They have all been left blank.

                I made a quick backup and tried using root without password in the user and localhost or the ipaddress as host. Neither of those combinations yielded results.

                removed .fogsettings and copied .fogsettings.bak to .fogsettings

                  I have same issue

                  What i tryed:

                  I had same problem as you FOG 1.3.0 Ubuntu 14.04 LTS

                  1. First i checkd:
                    /opt/fog/.fogsettings

                  and this positions was blank:
                  snmysqluser=“”;
                  snmysqlpass=“”;
                  snmysqlhost=“”;

                  2.Second i setup my sql pass

                  sudo dpkg-reconfigure mysql-server-5.5

                  and modify /opt/fog/.fogsettings

                  snmysqluser=“root”;
                  snmysqlpass=“mypassword”;
                  snmysqlhost=“p:localhost”;

                  1. i checked sql connection:

                  mysql -u root -p

                  but still have same issue 😛

                    @lionheart1986 Did you recently install it, upgraded it from a previous trunk version, or upgraded it from 1.2 like I did? Just curious.

                    <edit>
                    I also pulled it from the git repository

                      @rhekkers The first time I tried to do the upgrade from 1.2.0 but I had the same problem. Currently I installed a fresh system 14.04 but it did not help.

                      <edit>
                      On 1.2.0 during installation it asks me about setup sql password but on 1.3.0 it won’t ask

                          “I’m having this issue” where we don’t know what issue is even occurring doesn’t help anybody.

                              @RLane It should be under apache error logs. If it’s not getting that far, it should be under installer->bin/error_logs/fog_error_${versionInstalling}.log
