In very simple terms:

Essentially, open a terminal.

Cd to the installer directory.

If you loaded the repo from git, make sure you’re on the dev-branch:

git checkout dev-branch

Ensure you’re environment is setup without customizations:

git reset --hard

Pull the latest:

git pull

Cd to the BIN directory:

cd bin

Install as normal.

./installfog.sh -y

Time to un-zombie the thread.

I updated to RC-36, and same same. I had to sudo systemctl start mysqld to get the database connection running.

@AngryScientist Are you sure it wasn’t:

systemctl start mysql or even systemctl start mariadb?

I’m trying to validate what the problem is here, and I’m fairly sure we’d have seen a bunch of issues with this operationally speaking. (We have a bunch of people using CentOS 7).

@AngryScientist It would be interesting to know if the contents of your .fogsettings file is messed up and then upgrading caused the installer to look at bad data again??

My production server is running Centos 7, I think we are on RC34 and that upgraded cleanly.
