    • RE: FOG Status

      [quote=“drjam, post: 18414, member: 16842”]Im prolly missing what you all mean by distro, but I am reading this as:
      the FoG team pre-package a running fog install on Ubuntu 13.10 (or watever).[/quote]

      If you read it as pre-packaging, then it is what I would call the right way. The contributers above wrote something from a distro like pfsense. A distro is not just packaged for a distro.

      FOG should not make an asumption on what Linux- or *nix-System it will run, then there are many admins out there, that have this or another distro preference, some use Solaris or *BSDs. To release a distro for FOG also means, to have a dedicated machine for it, or you aren’t no more free to chose your beloved system.
      Also it should be up to the admin to chose if in his scenario a dedicated machine does the job, or if it will run on an existing server, which does already other things. FOG is not a firewall, which should be on a dedicated machine. Also it should be up to the admin if he wants to have it in VM or not. With the suggestion of a distro or appliance you cut one or another of the ways to run FOG for an admin. This is in my opinion wrong.

      [quote=“drjam, post: 18414, member: 16842”]
      The words “wrong way” are probably not the most accurate choice, as there isnt a wrong or right way for anyone do anything in these areas. Id say the Fog Devs can do what they want, and if we like it, we will use it…one man’s “right” way is another man’s taboo.[/quote]
      Basically yes, but as it would be stupid and thus wrong to let pfsense run as a service on your internal auth and file server it is stupid and superfluous to bloat FOG to an appliance. The temptation of an appliance is it’s easyness of installation. But imagine apt-get install fog… (or rpm, emerge or whatever). If FOG is well prepared for packaging, it is not a big deal no more to do it for the different distros.

      or take the approach from other embedded distro’s like FreeNAS or pfSense choose one underlying rock solid base (FreeBSD) and allow easy upgrades including the entire OS via the web UI.[/quote]
      That still implies running an dedicated server for FOG. FOG is just some software that needs to be packed for the some of the ditros out there and that flaky installer dropped. Concentrate on the core business, please.

    • Close Forum "Bug reports"

      What I do not understand why there is a forum for bug reports, when there is also the bug tracker from sf.net. Wouldn’t it make development easier, when there is just 1 place to collect the bugs?

    • RE: Running on PHP 5.4

      [quote=“Tom Elliott, post: 18239, member: 7271”]degrade php 5.4 to php 5.3, exclude with apt-mark hold, then change the repo’s back to wheeze branch?
      [/quote]

      This is easy, but there will be a time when squeeze gets unsupported. It doesn’t seem to me that 0.33 will be released in the somewhat near future. And what if there are other PHP projects from wheezy running on that server that do require php 5.4? So your suggestion is just a work around.

      For those who want to know, how to downgrade php on Debian wheezy to 5.3 from squeeze to use with fog: Use apt-pinning.

      • add squeeze to /etc/apt/sources.list: deb [url]http://ftp.debian.org/debian/[/url] squeeze main contrib non-free
      • create /etc/apt/preferences.d/preferences:

      Package: php5*
      Pin: release a=oldstable
      Pin-Priority: 700

      Package: libapache2-mod-php5
      Pin: release a=oldstable
      Pin-Priority: 700

      Package: *
      Pin: release a=stable
      Pin-Priority: 600

      • save your php.inis from /etc/php5/cli/php.ini and /etc/php5/apache/php.ini to where ever
        -> you will need them again, when upgrading back to php 5.4
      • apt-get update
      • apt-get dist-upgrade
      • review the php.inis
      • service FOGImageReplicator restart
      • service FOGMulticastManager restart
      • service FOGScheduler restart
      • service apache2 restart

    • RE: Installing FOG on OpenSuse

      Debug the install script, it probably fails somewhere here:

      In file fog_0.32/lib/redhat/functions.sh
      configureHttpd()

      Maybe you just comment out the checks and make sure things are running as the script expects it

    • RE: Running on PHP 5.4

      It is 0.32.

      If 0.33 gets further delayed for various reasons, it would be nice a PHP devel could port the existing to work on PHP 5.4. and release it as 0.32.1 or so. I think there are many people out there, who do not want to feed their work horse beta carrots and use 0.32 until 0.33 will be released. Unfortunately Debian squeeze is already oldstable and wheezy brings PHP 5.4.

      I guess for a resonable talented PHP developper it shouldn’t take too long to port the code, it’s just very uninspiring work to do…

      After correcting some code in the TaskScheduler, it starts to work. Can you add members to groups for e.g.? Don’t you have an apache log full of errors like this:

      I love this idea, and agree with all of your points.

      I love the idea of a Fog distro.[/quote]

      I will love to have another server with another distro I have to learn again. And I am sure it will save a lot of time to the FOG developpers… No sorry, wrong way.

      You are saying the dependency on NFS, TFTP & ISC DHCP is an issue. It is not. Those tools work, they work fine, and FOG is an important part of a network infrastructure, so considering running it on Linux because it uses some of the usual linux toolset is reasonnable.
      [/quote]

      Absolutely right. Considering the project ist struggeling having not enough time for development, so don’t kill the things that really are working and get maintained for you. Use the tools which do work since years and use more of them (-> packaging, dependencies and all the beauty of dpkg) like this you get your hands free for the actual job FOG must do.
      Don’t invent the wheel again, go rolling with the wheels you have!
