Fixed, we appear to be uploading now.

George ,

We’re finally booting computers into fog and pulling images, but now we are receiving the following after creating the image:

Attempting to update database…Failed
Error returned: Type 2, File: /var/www/html/fog/lib/fog/fogftp.class.php,
Line: 463, Message: ftp_login(): Login incorrect., Host: 168.[XX.XXX.XX], Username: fog

We’re now logging in as fogadm so could that be the conflict? I tried changing the FTP username and password but it still said username fog. Is that in fogsettings.sh?

@george1421

When I go to “Password and User Account” under system settings it says the username is fog. This is in production. I was using it successfully on version 1.3.x, but was unable to image our newest computers. After a quick google search the consensus seemed to be to update the server to fog 1.4.4. Thats when I began having problems.

@george1421

I’m using whatever defaults I was given in the youtube walkthrough I used when installing, so its possible. Admittedly I am nowhere near a (K)ubuntu expert. I’m learning as I go. When I go to /opt/fog/.fogsettings and look at the password line it simply says

password=" "

I attempted to return a blank for the password when restarting the services but that did not resolve it. I didn’t want to change the entry via VI without knowing what I was doing or asking advice. Should I change it there?

If not how do I resolve the issue, or fix it so that I don’t have to restart the services after rebooting the server (Ive had this problem since installing 1.3.x)

Sebastian,

Thank you for your reply. I am attempting to restart services using the following two commands:

sudo restart tftpd-hpa
and
sudo start isc-dhcp-server

When I enter the commands it asks me for:
[sudo] password for fog:

Historically, I have used the default “password” for this but now its telling me "sorry, try again.

Description

I recently updated to for 1.4.4 from 1.3.x. Prior to update I was able to restart the TFTP and DHCP services using the default password (password) but since updating to 1.4.4 I am no longer able to restart these services as it will not accept the default password any more.
