Is this broken across the board or are some people having success with it?

I turned it on yesterday with a wait time of 5 hours just to be sure they’re gone for the day before being logged out. We had 4 reboots that I am aware of, 3 with in a couple minutes of each other and one around an hour later. I wasn’t sure it was FOG at first because it wasn’t every machine.
Are the other reports of machines being rebooted regardless of inactivity rather than logging out or were my hosts rebooting because of Tuesday patches?

I can’t see anything in the fog.log from before a user logs in. Seems like it is being overwritten as though it were a new file at logon rather than appending.

Awesome. You rock so much. Ran installer. Installer says go to webpage and click button. Clicked button…

However, are there plans to separate fog permissions from the root mysql user or can I grant/create/specify another user (fog) and rerun the installer with those settings? I have a ton of other questions. Need to read the forums I guess. Thanks again.

[edit]
Changed username value in /opt/fog/.fogsettings and reran installer. Seems to be working great.

So, [U]fog[/U] uses the [U]root[/U] password for mysql. Why is that? Out of all the applications which are perfectly satisfied to run as their own user in the confines of their own database. And with no password by default. I understand that it is essential that the user be able to install the application and that taking shortcuts like this simplifies user installation but it already doesn’t allow for SSL (Solution: block port80 external and manage with GUI web browser [U]on[/U] server [unpreferable])

Fog 1.1.2 installed on CentOS release 6.5.

It was working great (thanks, by the way) and then I started thinking about security.
Only configuration changes I have made so far after install:
[LIST=1]
[]mysql_secure_installation (set a password)
[]updated the values accordingly in the file (/opt/fog/.fogsettings)
[/LIST]
I am receiving the infinity errors page. Unable to proceed.

There is a password string below which I am unfamiliar with. Please explain the 68d2b7. Not my string.

Have I set the password in the wrong location?
Please help! Thanks.

Not sure where this issue goes as it is a collision between a couple different issues.
I am trying to set up a PC for my living room home theater. I have the most ridiculous problem with this motherboard. Tried to Windows 7 with Yumi and it says that it was unable to install…after seeming to go through the entire process. So naturally, FOG, right?

The issue with the dual NICs is that only one of the ports will boot from PXE, and only the other port will do anything on the network once it boots. I boot the FOG menu, select quick register, it pulls the bzimage and the init.rd and then blinking cursers for a while. Link light is dead. For whatever reason (having learned a little about this when running this mobo as a server) I switched NICs mid blinky-curser and it lights up and starts showing activity. Does quick register.

Cool, now I can image this pc. Go to hosts menu, select image, set download task, boot FOG: “This host is not registered.” Because of the NIC switch. Just saw the Add a MAC option while I’m typing this up. I’ll do that and then start thinking about a BIOS update.

Just wanted to share. Anyone seen any similar issues with messed up logic in the MOBO like that? It is working which is comforting. Sadly spent all day off and on trying to set this up. I’m gonna go cry now.
(I can add notes on this experience on the wiki, or if someone with access would like, please feel free to mark it down with a big red X* (* sort of works with caveats).
