That did it!!! Thanks!

How do I restore it after say a fatal event occurs…

Should I start a new thread?

With this command (and similar ones) I always get the error message as follows:

[I][B]mysqldump: Got error: 1045: Access denied for user ‘fog’@‘localhost’ (using password: YES) when trying to connect[/B][/I]

Hello All,

I would like to know how ya’ll backup your FOG Database (SQL files)

I am running my FOG setup on Ubuntu 10.04 and I understand the whole setup pretty well by now. This is after hosing the system a few times lol! What I am afraid of is losing all of the database entries, assets, images, settings, etc…

I know there is a backup script that I can run that is included in the install folder, however I do not trust this and would much rather backup the specific files myself.

DOES ANYONE KNOW WHERE THESE FILES ARE LOCATED?!

And/or a good way of backing these up? Currently I am making a master image of my server with [B]Clonezilla[/B], and using [B]Back In Time [/B]to backup the entire root directory.

Suggestions?

Thanks,
CASEY

I was able to fix my own issue and here is how I did it.

I changed my management username back to [B]‘fog’[/B]

It looks as if you are [B]NOT[/B] allowed to change the username. The username [B]MUST[/B] be set as [B]‘fog’[/B]

You [B]MUST [/B]also rename the fog user account created within Ubuntu to match the password within the web interface. (#sudo passwd fog)

Maybe we can create some sort of sticky thread on this and common TFTP and SQL issues concerning the config.php file. I see this all over the web but no real answers.

I hope all foes well with whoever is reading this!

Hello,

I have had FOG setup and have done many successful deployments. One thing I can NEVER do is change the FOG management Username & Password without messing up the TFTP connection.

The password I am talking about is the one to login to the Web interface. As soon as I change both the Username and Password, I can no longer connect to the TFTP. I can confirm this by trying to upload an image from a host.I have even checked the config.php in [B]var/www/fog/commons [/B]and have changed it in the [I]Storage Node[/I] settings and [I]FOG Settings[/I] within the Web Interface.

The message says:

[I][B]Unable to start task[/B][/I]
[I][B]Unable to connect to tftp server.[/B][/I]

Why does it do this? All I want to do is change the dang password so nobody can access the management side as it can get messed up fairly easy.

Any ideas? I am desperate here as I have had to re-install FOG many times due to stupid mistakes and errors!

Thanks,

Hola!

After searching around, the only thing I was able to come across on Full Duplex was this thread:
[SIZE=6][B][URL=‘http://fogproject.org/forum/threads/udp-sender-half-duplex.382/#post-1652’][SIZE=4]Udp-Sender: half-duplex?[/SIZE][/URL][/B][/SIZE]

[SIZE=3]It was suggested to try and change [COLOR=#ff0000]–half duplex[/COLOR][/SIZE] [COLOR=#000000]in the [/COLOR][COLOR=#ff0000][COLOR=#333399]MulticastTask.class.php[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]file to read[COLOR=#ff0000] --full duplex [COLOR=#000000]but was never confirmed to work or not.[/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR]

I tried this, but being a Linux noob (Running Ubuntu 10.04), I don’t know how to confirm if FOG is actually running at full duplex or not.

Any ideas folks?

P.S. [COLOR=#ff0000][COLOR=#333399][COLOR=#000000]I believe[/COLOR] MulticastTask.class.php[COLOR=#000000] is located at [B]/opt/fog[/B][/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR][B][COLOR=#000000]/service/common/lib/MulticastTask.class.php[/COLOR][/B]

[S][B]ls[/B] allows me to see the contents. Thank you! Exactly what i was looking for lol[/S]

Scratch that! I am getting an access denied message. How do I see the contents of these FOG owned folders? [S][/S]

Right on! Thanks Zardan!

That does work however, with this being said, how can I view the contents of a folder with sudo privileges? This command is kind of useless if I don’t know what’s in the directories! Lol

Hello,

Excuse me if I am posting on an already said topic. I am new to these forums as of 2 minutes ago and could not find anything relative to my issue. I am running Ubuntu 10.04 LTS with the latest version of FOG and the latest Kernel as of this very moment.

My issue is this:

When I want to make a change, to say [B]config.php[/B] located at [B]/var/www/fog/commons[/B], I am required to make the change via terminal with the [I][B]gksu gedit [/B][/I]command. If and when I try to access the file to edit, I am blocked due to permissions. In some cases I cannot even do this because I am blocked from the folder entirely.

I have re-installed FOG about 5 times due to messing things up I have done [B]chmod 777[/B] on the directories before but I believe it messed things up (though I don’t remember). I have changed the fog user password on the Ubuntu OS using [I]‘sudo passwd fog[/I]’ command. but that REALLY messed things up.

I was wondering if there was an easier way around this? I see forums posts about people editing config.php or MultiTask.class.php (both of which Id like to configure) without ever stating how they do it.

My main purpose is to try and make sure I am running in Full Duplex mode but also have control of these files for editing.

Any help would be great!

Thanks,
CASEY
