I did have to install php-curl, and now everything is working properly. Thank you very, very much sebastian-roth! I greatly appreciate your help!

Here’s what I’m seeing in the Apache2 error.log:

Checking PHP 7.4 logs, not much there but here are the last two lines;

I had a capture already in progress from last night that was failing (it couldn’t write back to the database that the capture task had completed, so it was stuck in a loop of uploading and then failing to update the task status then rebooting and uploading again), it succeeded!

This failure was the catalyst for me trying to upgrade to Debian 11 and FoG 1.5.9. So I’m very happy with this result.

I see now that when I click the blue task button to begin a download or upload task, the task gets created but I’m taken to a broken page (500 error). So I hit my back button and went back to my hosts that way.

@george1421

I’m getting ready to test download & capture (upload), though I did notice the storage usage chart in the upper right corner of the dashboard has gone missing.

Also, from within the FoG configuration page the kernel update, and log viewer, sub-pages give me a 500 error. From the home section of the fog configuration page, the fog version information section reads “Failed to get version info”.

These are mere annoyances that I can certainly live without as long as I’m able to image new machines and upload new images.

@george1421
Ahhhh George thank you so much!!!

I had to create the fogstorage account within mysql and then apply the password, but after doing so I was able to update the schema and now I’m also able to login!

I’m going to download and upload a couple of images to test that functionality but this is further than I’ve gotten and it feels great!

I greatly appreciate your assistance!

@george1421
Yes, I installed FOG 1.5.9.xxx from the dev branch - what command can I run to confirm the fogserver version?

I updated the password to the fogstorage user, in the /opt/fog/.fogsettings file because it didn’t match what I was given during the upgrade.

After doing that, I can get to the schema update page however I get the following errors when trying to update the schema:

Database Error:

I’m sorry for being a pain in the ass and I very much appreciate your advice.

Reading another post, I made the info.php file and saved it as instructed. I can browse to that at http://fogserver/fog/info.php - lots of info on that page - please advise!

@sebastian-roth
On Debian11 after having attempted to upgrade FOG to 1.5.9.222 the http://fogserver/fog/management/index.php page wont load (500 error)

I’m looking at the Apache2 error.log and here’s the last line:
%timestamp% [proxy_fcgi:error] [pid #####] [client %LAN-IP%:%port%] AH1071: Got error ‘PHP message: PHP Fatal error: Uncaught Exception: Missing one or more extensions. in /var/www/html/fog/commons/init.php:439\nStack trace:\n#0 /var/www/html/fog/commons/init.php(306): Initiator::_extCheck()\n#1 /var/www/html/fog/commons/base.inc.php(46): Initiator::startInit()\n#2 /var/www/html/fog/management/index.php(22): require(’/var/www/html/f…‘)\n#3 {main}\n thrown in /var/www/html/fog/commons.init.php on line 439’

Please advise, thank you!

I was able to get the Fog installer to run and complete.
During the installation it told me to update the database but the Web page won’t load so I skipped that step and made it through to the end without any other errors or warnings.

Still, the Web page won’t load so I’m thinking either I ruined Apache2 or I have to do something with mysql.

Now on Debian 11, those upgrades went without error.
Now when I try to reinstall FoG I get a different error:
Setting up Apache and PHP files…failed
PHP failed to install properly
Could not find /etc/php/7.4/fpm/php.ini

I’m going to create an empty pnp.ini with the touch command at the location where FoG is expecting to see it

I’m about ready to give up on old Debian.

I’m going to upgrade to Debian 10, and then to 11 before I attempt another FoG reinstall/upgrade

@sebastian-roth

How do I remove the php5 package from the install script?

When I try to upgrade or otherwise reinstall Fog now, it fails at
"installing package: php5… failed (will try later)
.
.
…
“Installing now everything is updated…failed”
Package php5 is not available, but is referred to by another package.

I’m currently on Debian 9 after having reverted to a previous snapshot

When I attempt to reinstall Fog I do the following
cd /root/fogproject/
git checkout dev-branch
git pull
cd bin/
./installfog.sh

The git pull command returns, says it’s already up to date

@george1421
Thank you, George1421.

When I made the attempt at upgrading FoG to 1.5.9 from 1.5.7, I did so through the dev branch.

I just noticed that when I start a task, I get taken to a broken page although the task itself does get created and executes.

I’m going to revert back to the snapshot I took before attempting the FoG upgrade. I took snapshots before and after going from Debian 8 to 9, and 9 to 10.

I can see that FoG itself still thinks it’s version 1.5.7.

Since I have these snapshots, I could revert back to Debian 8. Should I do that and then stand up a new FOG server as you suggested? Assuming that’s a yes, which OS would you recommend? Debian, Ubuntu, something else?

Please consider, I am a Linux novice. Thanks again!

edit again- I reverted back to the snapshot I took after upgrading Debian 8 to 9.
From this point (on Debian 9, FoG 1.5.7), the issues I mentioned earlier are not occurring. I can see the version and the sub-pages (kernel update, log viewer). Dashboard looks good too.

Wondering if I should try upgrading FoG to 1.5.9 (dev-branch) or go with the new server.

Hello,
After upgrading Debian from 8 to 9, then from 9 to 10, I tried updating FoG from 1.5.7 to 1.5.9.

The process completed without errors, but after logging into FoG and going to the configuration page the version information section reads “Failed to get latest info”.

I also found the kernelUpdate page displays ERROR 500 when I try to view it. Same with the log viewer.

Please advise, thank you!
edit I just noticed the dashboard no longer shows my storage info in the upper right corner either. Also, I think my predecessor did the install many years ago via the tarball method but I used git for the upgrade attempt(s).
