Description

Trying to load the /fog/management page after completely fresh install of Centos 7 and Fog and getting a 500 error. Checking /var/log/httpd/error_log I am seeing the following:

[Mon Jan 30 15:41:32.771787 2017] [:error] [pid 21685] [client 172.16.1.153:51263] PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘&’ in /var/www/html/fog/commons/init.php on line 105

Now if I edit /var/www/html/fog/commons/init.php and remove the “&” in line 5 the management page then says I need php 5.5 and I am currently running php 5.4.16. I have fully updated centos when I check my php version it does show 5.4.16 installed, but yum update doesn’t show any packages to be updated. Any ideas, this is the third Fog server I have built and the only one that has given me any problems like this.

FOG requires php 5.6 or higher. The fog installer should install the remi repository and get you to 5.6 or 7.x. So that’s not working for some reason.

Are you following this article? https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=CentOS_7

What version of fog? Saying ‘latest version’ isn’t good enough, we need exacts.

[Tom Elliott]

What is version “Latest trunk” exactly?

[Erek Beckman]

@Wayne-Workman Yes I am following https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=CentOS_7 for the install.

I am not sure on the exact version as I can’t get into the gui, I couldn’t find a way to check the version from cli. Is there a command to check the version of fog that is installed?

[Tom Elliott]

@Erek-Beckman Please install the remi repository, or try running:

yum -y update php* --enablerepo=remi,remi-php56

[Erek Beckman]

Ok, I found the issue. The Geo IP filter on the firewall was preventing accessing the remi repository, which was keeping me from updating php. Disabled the Geo IP filter and ran a fresh install and everything is working like a charm.

Thanks again guys for the help!
