If you can afford to start over and not married to Debian, please use either Ubuntu 14.04 or Centos 7 as a FOG host OS. And then install FOG 1.3.0-rc4 using this process. https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Upgrade_to_trunk and you will have a flawless install.

You can use Ubuntu 16.04 with a few tweaks.

Have a copy of 16 04 and can use that one What are the tweaks that you are talking about.
Thanks for your help

@Gary-Kulovics They may have updated the installer to address the absence of php5 on ubuntu 16.04. Here are two documents you might want to read through for tips.

@george1421 Thanks change to Ubuntu 14.04 and everything installed
Having a second problem when I export my host from old PC it only grabs the MAC address and not the host name ( computer name) what am I doing wrong last time I did this it worked perfectly old PC running Sven 5932

@george1421 Anyway to reset host to zero then import list again when I import them now it says already exist but there are no hosts there I have about 1300 PC on that list would not want to take inventory of them again

@Gary-Kulovics If the import is viable still.

Open mysql, run:

truncate table `fog`.`hosts`;
truncate table `fog`.`hostMAC`;

Reimport. Of course only do this is you only want the “imported” hosts to display.

[Gary Kulovics]

@Tom-Elliott Sorry about this question but how do I find MySQL database Never had a need to go there so not to sure were it is

Thanks
Gary

[Tom Elliott]

from terminal, you can simply run:

mysql -u root fog

Terminal should be on the “main” fog server.
If you have a password set for the database, run:

mysql -u root -p fog
