Cannot see web interface - I have apache errors.

All you should need to do is pull again and install. This was already known about and pushed.

[connellc]

I’m sorry. I’m sort of not used to hearing the phrase “pull again and and install”. What do you mean?

[Tom Elliott]

@connellc I don’t know how you installed.

Essentially, however, you likely followed either git or svn for the install right?

Change directory to your fog download location.

If git the command to “pull again” would be:
git pull

If svn the command to “pull again” would be:
svn up

I think install again is explanatory enough then?

@Tom-Elliott The gzipped tar of 1.3.4 that is linked on the front page needs to be updated. I ran into this same problem with that installer. Then I found this post and downloaded it from Github.

[Tom Elliott]

The gzipped tar on both sourceforge and github have both been updated with the same file.

[connellc]

@Tom-Elliott I did neither; hence my not knowing those terms. I will endeavor to use git or svn to install.

[connellc]

@connellc I did install from sourceforge and ran the shell installer from the zip file, certain events that ought to have happened never took place. For example,
I found out when I followed https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=Uninstall_FOG that there was no mysql database “fog” to delete.

I will install using git or svn this time.

[connellc]

@connellc I did take care tofollow the pre-reqs at https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=Installation#Requirements,
and am following the “git” steps on that page

[connellc]

@connellc @Tom-Elliott One of the prereqs is to have a bridged network on an Ubuntu Mate 16.04 LT running in Virtual Box, so I made sure to have that before even installing FOG this time - referring to https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=Installation#Requirements,
and am following the “git” steps on that page

@connellc How did you first isntall fog? Based on the replied to posting you have said:

You did neither? Then how did you install FOG?

You should not need to uninstall fog either in response to:

The pre-reqs aren’t the problem, it’s more “changes” in Ubuntu keeping the DB from being created. It’s annoying as hell trying to keep up with changes I can’t even see. That said, I too saw issues and applied a temporary fix that needs some testing to validate.

All having some of the “strange” issues
Please try:

cd
git clone https://github.com/fogproject/fogproject.git fogproject-working
cd fogproject-working
git checkout working-1.3.5
git pull
cd bin
./installfog.sh -y

This will put you onto the working 1.3.5 branch. I’ve made the commands above so you aren’t messing in your “normal” download folders and to help keep some level of separation for your own uses.

@Tom-Elliott tried this and the only issue with using the git commands you supplied was that a directory was not created, so I created it manually:

/home//fog_web_722.BACKUP/management/other/ (error was: " No such file or directory")

[Tom Elliott]

@connellc This error message is only becasue that folder didn’t exist. It’s not going to impact installation though.

[connellc]

@Tom-Elliott alright. I haven’t yet tried to go to web interface yet, will try as I have to step AFK for a minute

[connellc]

@Tom-Elliott So, Tom, thanks! I am finally able to see "http://[ip-address]/fog/management/ in my browser.

[connellc]

@Tom-Elliott you can close this issue. test Firefox and Chromium, no issues with web interface. I upgraded via trunk and it still works fine.
