Installing FOG on Debian

[maveriick]

Having issues installing FOG.
I get it to run but it is constantly stuck at Installing Package: Apache2
I feel like it is something simple but not sure what it could be.
Thanks!

What version? I have it installed on Jessie.

[maveriick]

I have it on Jessie… I am new to both Linux and FOG.
I followed a guide but keep getting stuck

Re-phrase… I am trying to install it on Jessie.

[URfog]

And what release of FOG? I’ve got now 1.3.0 r7945

[maveriick]

FOG 1.2.0 then will update to trunk.
On 8.4.0 Debian

[URfog]

I’ve never passed through 1.2.0, so I cannot help you with that release, but you can try the new one. If you have not installed any.

[URfog]

I can certainly say that there is no problem installing FOG 1.3.0 over Jessie

Awesome! I will try that first AM.
Use Git method?

[URfog]

I use SVN subversion, it’s really simple.

[maveriick]

OK, feeling really stupid… Trying to install subversion. When I am trying to install pre-requisites i can not get them to install… I am such a Noob at Linux… Here is the guide i am using to get them installed. https://www.howtoforge.com/installing-apache2-with-php5-and-mysql-support-on-debian-wheezy It can not find Debian GNU/Linux 8.4.0 Jessie - Official amd64 DVD Binary-1 20160402-14:46 Haaaaaalp!!!

@maveriick You don’t need to install any of that stuff manually.

You simply need to install svn, and then pull the trunk repo. Then the FOG installer will do everything else for you when you run it.

There are step-by-step instructions in the upgrade to trunk article, here:
https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=Upgrade_to_trunk

[maveriick]

OK, here is what I get when I go to Xterm and run sudo apt-get update && apt-get install svn
root@HRS-FOG:~# sudo apt-get update && apt-get install svn
E: Malformed line 8 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list (absolute dist)
E: The list of sources could not be read.
Being a Reforming windows Sys admin I am very open to open source and trying to learn.
Thanks!!!

@maveriick Seems like your /etc/apt/sources.list is corrupt. Please post what you get from cat /etc/apt/sources.list.

As well you need to run sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install svn (see the second sudo command?) after we fixed your sources.list

[maveriick]

Here is the results.

root@HRS-FOG:/home/rob# cat /etc/apt/sources.list

# jessie-updates, previously known as 'volatile'

# deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ jessie-updates main contrib
# deb-src http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ jessie-updates main contrib

The upgarde to trunk directions are missing the second sudo. That is why I did not use it.
Thanks,
Rob

Well you still got the old CDROM repo entries while the CDs are probably not loaded anymore. You want to use the official online repos. Edit that file to make it look like this:

deb http://httpredir.debian.org/debian jessie main
deb-src http://httpredir.debian.org/debian jessie main

deb http://httpredir.debian.org/debian jessie-updates main
deb-src http://httpredir.debian.org/debian jessie-updates main

deb http://security.debian.org/ jessie/updates main
deb-src http://security.debian.org/ jessie/updates main

Remove all the other stuff.

but i get this when I run sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install svn
