Where does it crash at? Any error messages?
Can you update to the latest RC?
-
Because you’re running RC-12, please update, follow this guide:
https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=Upgrade_to_trunk
Because your FOG Server is Ubuntu 12, please backup before updating (or snapshot if you can). Backup your database specifically via the web interface:
Web Interface -> FOG Configuration -> Configuration Save -> ExportSo this problem you describe is new to me, I’ve not heard of this before. I don’t see how it’s possible, so I’m going to think a minor mistake was made somewhere. Can you please also post the output of these commands from your fog server:
cd /images;du -sh
df -h
ls -lahRt /imagesAlso, when you say “Crashes”, what does that mean? Can you give us a photo of what happens? The things displayed on screen are clues as always.
Is this computer in UEFI mode?
Does it have a mechanical HDD or SSD?
How large is the drive?
Is there only one drive? -
@Wayne-Workman Will update our FOG Server would you reccomend updating the distro to the latest Ubuntu version or is 12.04 ok
Kind Regards

@lawrence1997 Typically updating Ubuntu to a newer distribution doesn’t work very well with FOG. If you want to use a later version of Ubuntu, it might be best and most simple to build a new Ubuntu 16.04 Server and just migrate things over. There’s more than what you think involved with migrating, particularly this item that everyone usually misses: https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=FOG_Client#Maintain_Control_Of_Hosts_When_Building_New_Server
This would also help you:
https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=Migrate_images_manually
And of course the database, and then changing some items in the DB via the web interface:

@lawrence1997 What is output if you run:
apt-get install -yq php7.1 -
Hi Tom
it ran the command through and looks like it installed it. The code is so long is there any particular part you would like to see.
It finished with the following line:
setting up php7.1 (7.1.0-3+deb.sury.org.precise+1) …

@lawrence1997 Getting errors is not helpful to anyone. What kind of errors are you getting?
I’m seeing, now, that something recently changed on ondrej repository again :(.
