Issues after upgrading to 16.04

[EAHarvey]

@Tom-Elliott I did this Tom. Same result. Just to inform you of What I have done.

[Wayne Workman]

Try to access the fog db from the command line, see if it works or not:

mysql -D fog

Earlier I got an error about this, and re-running the installer fixed it - which I guess will just break later again. @Tom-Elliott I believe is aware of that issue.

@Tom-Elliott Thank you, it seems that apache2 is running now. But, when trying to access the console, it seems like DB issue.
Also, while the installer was running, I noticed that PHP5 is not exist.

Thanks,

Tom

[Tom]

@Wayne-Workman Sorry, I must have misunderstood. Here is the ip

I followed the instructions from HERE

mysql -D fog - Did not resolve the issue.

Thanks,

Tom

@Tom said in Issues after upgrading to 16.04:

It’s not supposed to resolve it, it’s a command that will produce a particular error if there is a particular issue present. I was just asking if you get an error or not when you run that.

It should automatically install php7 on Ubuntu 16.04 as of the latest FOG. Unless it’s being instructed otherwise (in which case it will fail on ubuntu 16.04).

Check /opt/fog/.fogsettings for

php_ver=''
php_verAdds=''

If they have values (eg 5 or something) try deleting the variables. Let the installer figure it out.

[Tom]

@Wayne-Workman No errors when running mysql -D fog

[EAHarvey]

@Wayne-Workman Mine goes straight to the mysql prompt Wayne. No error seen on my end.

[Tom]

@Quazz I cannot find fogsettings. can you be more specific how to verify php version?
Thanks,

Tom

[EAHarvey]

@Tom I’m thinking that since the install didnt finish, the settings file will not be created. Am I right @Wayne-Workman @Tom-Elliott

[Quazz]

@Tom It’s a hidden file in /opt/fog called .fogsettings

You can view it by

cat /opt/fog/.fogsettings

@EAHarvey

He mentioned upgrading in his original post, so should have this file.

[EAHarvey]

My fogsettings. Under packages its shows php5.

@Quazz Thank you, here are the results:

how can I change it?

[Quazz]

@EAHarvey I recommend commenting that line out (put a # in front of it).

You’ll probably have to remove all currently installed php and apache thingies though.

Something like

sudo apt purge php*
sudo apt purge apache*
rm -rf '/etc/apache*' '/etc/php*'

Then, the installer should install the correct version for ubuntu 16.04, but if you want to play it safe, you can do

php_ver='7.0' php_verAdds='-7.0' ./installfog.sh -y

[Quazz]

@Tom Open the file with a text-editor, such as nano

eg

nano /opt/fog/.fogsettings

Change 5 and 5.6 to 7.0 and save.

[Tom]

@Quazz Followed instructions, yet the fog installer insist on installing php5.

[Quazz]

@Tom Even with

php_ver='7.0' php_verAdds='-7.0' ./installfog.sh -y

?

[EAHarvey]

@Quazz I have all the PHP5 stuff remarked out and it skips the installs as it should and install php7. Now I am crashing at Stopping web Service…Failed!!

Still looking for that fix.

[EAHarvey]

I love this stuff!!!:-) Frustrating and interesting at the same time!!

[Quazz]

@EAHarvey Most likely some odd one out php thingy got missed when we tried to manually remove them earlier.

Check the error logs of the FOG installer (near the bottom) to find out which one.
