Hi all, thx a lot for your Help! Got it workin now!

Hi there, i have a Fog Server on Ubuntu 14.04 running, it must be the latest Trunk Release from FOG

THis morning i placed a couple of heavy large Snaping Jobs ( an sfx setup file up to 4GB) to run on 15 Machines, since that my Fog webend isn’t responding anymore. So what can i do now to clear this Snapin Jobs i think they will slow down my Fog Server?! even after whole Ubuntu Server restart, the Fog Server isn’t responding over the WEb Frontend

Even on the Client Machines they got connection Time Out when FOG Windows Client tryin to connect

Server

• FOG Version: 1.4.0-RC-9.3
• OS: Ubuntu 14.04.5

Description

Hi there, im tryin to update as usual via GIT, but in my first attempt it hangs at “Packages upgraded as needed” so i have to end that with CTRL-C

Now it hangs right in the beginning with no error on “Adding needed Repository” the Server got an direct Internet Connection, i have already checked it everything is fine, the GIT Pull before was fine, what can i do?

Good Morning, i follow the thread, cause i’ve nearly same issues, at last i switched from Git Version 1.3. RC6 to RC11, then i’ve experienced the same issue with the Client Updater

Tomorrow i’ve done a git pull and rerun the installfog.sh even twice, cause that was the advice from Joe Schmitt.

Now i encounter the error on an example client “Response ERROR: Unable to get subsection Middleware::Response ERROR: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.”

how can i fix that? the Client on Windows has updated to 0.11.5

Hi there, today i’ve started an Snapin with marked “Shutdown after Install” but unfortunately nothing happens, after the Snapin has finished

FOG Server 7254 with Fog Client 0.9.12 on Windows 7 X64 Clients

What is maybe wrong?

If i run it on the Client in an Dos box , with cscript bootstrap.vbs it comes up with an error after a few seconds "WinHttp.WinHttpRequest: For this operation is not enough memory available But has enough free Memory (60GB)

@Jbob said in FOG Snapin Client download error:

@Timo Batch lacks the ability to download a file natively. Here is a vbs script which should do what you are looking for.

Save the code as “Bootstrap.vbs”, and update the http://fog-server/MyProgram.exe line to reflect a real URL where your snapin can be downloaded, the easiest way may be to just copy your snapin file to /var/www/html/, and then it is accessible via http://{fog-server}/MyProgram.exe, where Myprogram.exe is the file name. Also update references to MyProgram.exe to your program’s file name.

Note that this code is untested.

Use the following snapin settings:
Snapin Run With: cscript
Snapin Run With Args: //B //Nologo
Snapin File: Bootstrap.vbs

Bootstrap.vbs code:

Hi there, at this moment i’m trying your script but i think it hangs in the download it now takes over 10 minutes, but i have no status window what is happening. The download from my fogserver manually tested runs fine

@Jbob said in FOG Snapin Client download error:

@Timo for now you could set the snapin file to a batch script which downloads the exe from a samaba share or something and runs it.

Hi Jbob thx for your help. How can i realize that? I’ve an Synology NAS where i can store that, do you have an example script, maybe?

@Sebastian-Roth said in FOG Snapin Client download error:

@Timo This seems to be a restriction in C# following the discussion here: http://www.codeproject.com/Questions/142532/appending-and-splitting-files-larger-than-gb

Possibly this is only happening because you have 32 bit Windows installed?? Please check! Or this might be a general restriction and we need to read large snapin files as chunks, @Jbob?

Hi Sebastian, no the Client runs an Windows 7 x64 Installation

Sure i can, thx for your help, i really appreciate it

GIT 7248 the same…just forgot one thing from the Error Log Service Error:“Object reference not set to an object instance”
