I haven’t seen anything in the announcements section on the forum here so I wanted to ask what is the status with upgrading to trunk using the various options, svn, git, btsync, wget?
I used to use SVN, the last time I updated I used git because of the sourceforge outage.
What avenue is working correctly right now?
Check this out on the wiki
Had the same issue myself a while back and this resolved it.
I just installed Debian Wheezy, FOG (3642), and DNSMASQ today and this is what i’m seeing after setting the first test image upload. The client is in a remote location so I can’t see the screen (will be able to in the morning) but I can’t find any documentation on these errors that are showing up in the apache2 error logs.

Are the following results ok? I’ve never seen the services laid out like this before when checking them, this is the first time i’ve used Debian Wheezy, but I want to be sure. I’m on build 3642. Also when installing FOG, and wanting to use the development version should 1.2 be installed first and then upgrade to trunk or can a person start out right from trunk?

It was adding the * that helped get these going, thanks Deastrom!
I don’t know if I can say its 100% fixed, but its temperamental for me at best. We use FOG as part of our backup solution by uploading images so we can download them back to bare-metal in a hard drive failure. I know this isn’t exactly what FOG was meant to do…but it does it and it works for us. I’ve found that adding some system restart instructions to rc.local has helped to keep fog services,mysql, apache all running. I’ve recently started using cron tasks and they were not working but that was because they were particular with the syntax (and it was my first time messing with cron tasks anyways.
What OS are you using for fog? in Ubuntu server 12 we have to change some date/time entry in a couple of php files.
I’ve set up many cron style upload image tasks in one of my FOG installs and they never fire off. Either i’m not using correct syntax, or something is else is goofy, this install is 1.2.0. The fog schedule service is running (pretty sure) the clients (legacy) are set to auto log out on a task (force reboot)

Tom, have you ever had the fog services randomly stop to where you had to start them again? I have to start and restart my FOGScheduler service quite often. Version 1.2.0
Then this is a known issue? What can be done to start these at the end of the startup process. I was thinking of making a tiny bash script that will run at the end of init, once everything else is up.
It seems the behavior is the same on my other install in another location using version 1.2.0. The operating systems is Ubuntu server 12.04.5 LTS. On a reboot the FOG services don’t start up. I try to start the services, and I get a fail. If I restart the service It starts.
[CODE]aseikola@qcfog:~$ sudo service FOGScheduler start
[sudo] password for aseikola:
I went through and tried just starting each FOG service and that didn’t work, each service had to be restarted

FOG is displaying in red if that helps
I upgraded my FOG server so I could get the latest trunk version this morning and noticed a problem. It seems none of the FOG services are starting on their own like they should be. See below
[CODE]aseikola@crfog:~$ sudo service FOGImageReplicator status
[sudo] password for aseikola:

aseikola@crfog:~$ sudo service apache2 status

I don’t want to get too far off track, but now that i’m squared away with 1.2.0 and things are working, do you recommend I move to the SVN?
I ended up doing a clean install, and installing Fog 1.2.0, no SVN. I changed the time locations as listed above, when I did
[CODE]sudo service FOGSnapinReplicator restart[/CODE]
I got
[CODE]FOGSnapinReplicator: unrecognized service
[/CODE]
Did I do something wrong here?
Thank you for all of your help Tom, I’m going to revisit this in the morning when I get back into the lab.
The vm I have FOG installed on in this location seems to be having some connection issues too now, keep losing my ssh connection and the web interface randomly. I ran the command to check the scheduler log and it was a little suspect. I restarted the FOGScheduler service and this allowed the scheduled task to go active, but it seems my server clock may be off? When I restarted the time in the scheduler log was 1-16-15 1:22 AM, at that time it was actually 1-15-15 7:22 PM. Running "date"at the command line gives the correct date, where else does FOG look for and work with date/time settings?

What is the correct way to check, and what exactly is the service called? FOGScheduler ?
I type the following
[CODE] sudo service FOGScheduler status
[sudo] password for aseikola:
Usage FOGScheduler {start|stop|restart}
[/CODE]
Sorry about that, it shows 2900
