http:///service/ipxe/bg.png Error 0x3e11613b / Fog UI Stuck in Loop

[Tom Elliott]

@TomBagley Can you do me a favor?

I know this is going to sound a bit rough, but can you do:

rm -rf /var/www/fog /var/www/html/fog

Then rerun the FOG installer please?

[TomBagley]

@Tom-Elliott No trouble Tom have done. Same symptom when running quick registration. Eventually I get:
*Attempting to register host… Failed
An error has been detected!
Cannot register host. (/bin/fog.auto.reg)
Args Passed:
Computer will reboot in 1 minute.

Thanks,
Tom

[TomBagley]

@Tom-Elliott Just as a further note I am able to perform a full registration of host. I can also image the client after registering this way.

Not sure whether this helps or offers any guidance.
Tom

@TomBagley Did you change the fog server’s IP? Have you tried updating to the latest RC5 ?

[TomBagley]

@Wayne-Workman Hi Wayne, I haven’t changed the IP and have just upgraded to RC5 and the symptoms remain the same unfortunately.

I just noticed that line is missing both the IP and fog. It should be this:
http://192.168.150.10/fog/service/ipxe/bg.png

My first advice would be to check in Storage Management, look at all node’s Web root field. This should (generally) be /fog

Then look inside of FOG Configuration -> FOG Settings -> Web Server -> FOG_WEB_HOST and FOG_WEB_ROOT.

Web host should be the fog IP address. web root should be /fog/

This post is deleted!

[TomBagley]

@Wayne-Workman Have checked and all values are as you state them to be.

@TomBagley What’s the output of http://192.168.150.10/fog/service/ipxe/boot.php ?

[Wayne Workman]

@TomBagley I can see the deleted post, your root directory is about full? that would cause serious issues.

[TomBagley]

@Wayne-Workman Yes, very nearly. I deleted because I was able to access the FOG UI eventually. How do I know what I can/can’t delete? Or should I be looking to rebuild onto a VM with more space?

I’d first start by looking for snapins that are in /opt/fog/snapins but are not in the web interface snapins management area, and delete the ones that shouldn’t be there.

There are some linux commands you can run to list all files sorted by size, I’ll see if I can find them.

[TomBagley]

@Wayne-Workman Thanks Wayne there was quite a lot not required so that’s got the root back to 20% available. The UI and Fog boot menu are more stable now but I am back to being stuck at ‘attempting to register host…’

[Quazz]

@TomBagley Could you make a new thread for that issue? Sounds like a different issue entirely, screenshots would be helpful as well

[TomBagley]

@Quazz Sure! Thanks for your help thus far.

[Wayne Workman]

@TomBagley What is the output of du -sh /var/log/httpd and the output of ls -laht /var/log/httpd/error_log

[TomBagley]

@Wayne-Workman

15G     /var/log/httpd

-rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 1.3G Aug 10 14:32 /var/log/httpd/error_log

Thanks

[Tom Elliott]

@TomBagley Clean up the error log a bit.

Run: cat /dev/null > /var/log/httpd/error_log

[Wayne Workman]

@TomBagley There’s where your space is going. What is the output of ls -laht /var/log/httpd
