      Please help us build the FOG community with everyone involved. It's not just about coding - way more we need people to test things, update documentation and most importantly work on uniting the community of people enjoying and working on FOG! Get in contact with me (chat bubble in the top right corner) if you want to join in.

      Web GUI issue? Please check apache error (debian/ubuntu: /var/log/apache2/error.log, centos/fedora/rhel: /var/log/httpd/error_log) and php-fpm log (/var/log/php*-fpm.log)

        … and it hit me like a freight truck.

        The network admin recently implemented a new stateful firewall and it is also blocking internal ports.

        I’ll get him to add exceptions to the rule and see if that fixes it.


        That was not the issue. I will head back and try the FTP troubleshooting guide you posted.

        Yes, I really did just ask that question and I am only /slightly/ ashamed of it.

          I’m having the same error message when updating an image. The image appears to get stuck in the dev folder. Running through the ftp fixes in the wiki did nothing for me. On a side note I had a similar issue with RC1, appeared to be fixed in RC2 or RC3. Attempting to upload the image as new at the moment.

              It was sudo passwd fog that saved the day as everything else had the same credentials - don’t know how passwd was changed in the first place (I probably had something to do with it). It works now, thank you.

                @Raymond-Bell I would say take a look at what @Tom-Elliott posted :https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=Troubleshoot_FTP

                and just double-check EVERYTHING. Because it turned out the local user on the server is what was my problem because the passwd fog didn’t match my Storage Node or my TFTP Server settings - after changing that, it was fixed.

                  This is not the case in my issue that was one of the first things i checked…

                  This only happens when Capturing a image that already exists,
                  If i create a new image and capture to it everything works fine…

                    @Raymond-Bell Make sure ownership (chmod 777 -R /images) is correct please.

                        Can you show us the logs verbatim then? You’re not seeing the exact same error if it’s not saying ‘ftp_login incorrect’
