Network Interfaces missing from capture - Debian 6 kernel 2.6

[kleanthis]

Hello i have just setup my Fog Server and i tried to create a new image . When i click on create new image link i get a blank page with “Add new image definition” on top and nothing else . I cannot create any images and i don’t see any error , can you please help ?

[kleanthis]

I found the solution if anyone is wondering turns out i had to remove /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules after deploy

OS (version as well)?
FOG version?

What’s in the apache error logs?

FOG version 1.2.0
OS Debian 8
[Thu Sep 08 14:26:44.860132 2016] [:error] [pid 17667] [client 192.168.1.72:56992] PHP Fatal error: Call to a member function get() on boolean in /var/www/fog/lib/pages/ImageManagementPage.class.php on line 178, referer: http://192.168.1.244/fog/management/index.php?node=images

@kleanthis Are you sure you are on 1.2.0 ? I thought this didn’t install on Debian 8? The version is displayed in the fog cloud, top left of all fog web pages.

[kleanthis]

Yes 1.2.0 pretty sure.

[Quazz]

@kleanthis Unless you have a specific reason to start on 1.2, I recommend upgrading to trunk, which should work out of the box on debian 8.

And the storage pie being missing makes me think FTP credentials, 1.2.0 used FTP for that I think.

If you get it fixed, I’d advise moving to trunk like Quazz said.

[kleanthis]

Updating to trunk now and will see how it goes.

[kleanthis]

With 1.3.0-RC9 it works , one more thing though , i have installed the Storage Server on another server but i dont want the default path to be the one to use but instead another . Does my path have to start from the /var/www location or can it be anywhere on the server? Also what permissions must a custom location have ?

[Quazz]

@kleanthis It uses an absolute path, so anywhere, really.

Permissions are best kept on 777

[Wayne Workman]

@kleanthis Be aware that at the moment, rc-9 has some issues with snapins. You’ll want to move to RC-10 as soon as it’s out.

[kleanthis]

Cool, thanx will try and update .

[kleanthis]

I am using a Debian 7 server as the storage server with 1.2.0 because i cannot install 1.3.0-rc9 on on it , it give error : * Installing package: php5-fpm…Failed! for 1.3.0-rc9 . Will this work ?

Also can the server itself be the storage ?

[Wayne Workman]

@kleanthis It installs fine on Debian 8, why not use Debian 8? We are a small team, we do our best to make the latest distributions work.

Of course the server itself can be the storage.

[kleanthis]

Got it fixed thank you . One more thing i have capture a debian 6 image but when deploying that on same hardware it doesnt detect eth0,tun0 and other network interfaces only lo interface . It sais no such device where as on the original server there are all there , do you know this might be happening ?

[Wayne Workman]

@kleanthis The new kernel may not be seeing them. Try older kernels and if you find a version that works, tell us what it is.

[kleanthis]

This post is deleted!

[kleanthis]

Sorry found it i downloaded an older kernel and left default name do i need to recapture or just redeploy ?

Tried full recapture and redeploy : still no interfaces found , tried with oldest kernel 3.0.1 my Debian is running on 2.6.32 . Is there a specific kernel for this?

[Wayne Workman]

@kleanthis What is the NIC, what model of computer is this happening on? Can you run lspci and give us the output?

[kleanthis]

I cant do that at the moment will update on Monday . Thank you.
