I checked the log files, and the only thing that stood out to me was “Failed to stop web services” when I tried to do the reinstall.
I run the installer again a few minutes ago, and this time it went through with no problems. I can access the web GUI and everything is back to normal. I have no idea what I did differently!
Do you still want to see the error logs?
It’s Kubuntu 17.04.
Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my FOG server. It’s running version 1.4.4 on Kubuntu. Whenever I try to access the management console, I only see the directory contents of the fog/management folder, like a service isn’t running. I’ve tried uninstalling and reinstalling FOG several times, and I keep running into this same error.
Prior to this issue, I was running 1.4.4 successfully. When this issue with the management console started, I was able to reinstall v. 1.2.0 and everything worked–the management console loaded correctly. When I went to upgrade back to v. 1.4.4, however, the problem reappeared.
I’m open to any suggestions at this point. Thanks for any help/advice!!
Thanks, Wayne. Looks like we will be rebuilding it.
I am new to FOG, and am using it to handle our Windows 10 deployments. All of our machines were until recently Windows 7, so we handled everything with Symantec Ghost. Since this is a school system and each computer lab basically gets its own individualized image, we have a lot of images and need a lot of storage space. We handled this with Ghost by running Ghost Server on a central laptop. Then, we could store images on a removable USB hard drive and could drag and drop them to the main laptop hard drive as needed. That way, we could run our deployments from the main hard drive and weren’t handicapped by the slower USB 2.0 external hard drive.
I have had good success with FOG so far. I installed it as a trial on a Hyper-V VM running Kubuntu. Since I did not realize this would become our go-to solution at the time, I did not allocate enough storage space on the virtual hard drive. Now, I am quickly running out of space. I purchased an external USB hard drive, and planned on storing images there. The problem I’m running into is that this is an older server, with only USB 2.0 ports. When I deploy images from this external drive, it crawls compared to the speed of the previous VHD hard drive.
Is there any way to set FOG up like I did with the Symantec Ghost server, where I could drag and drop images to the main hard drive when needed, then move them back to the external drive after deployment for long term storage?
Thanks for any help and advice!
