im running FEdora 17 btw

Hi Alin,

I have the same problem but im new to linux and unsure of the specifiks of your solution.

I have tried to change my function.sh file but i belive this is what was written originally:

chkconfig nfs on;
service nfs restart >/dev/null 2>&1;
service nfs status >/dev/null 2>&1;

based on what you wrote I have written the following:

chkconfig nfs-server on;
systemctl restart nfs-server.service
systemctl status nfs-server.service
service nfs restart >/dev/null 2>&1;
service nfs status >/dev/null 2>&1;

Have i done it wrong?

I get this error (remember im totally new to linux) when the above has been changed

CGroup: name=systemd: /system/nfs-server.service

Hi afmrick,

Im totally new to Linux! This was ment to be my little project to get to know the OS. Though i know what you are talking about i could really need some help how to fix it cause i have no clue where to start.

The reason i went with Fedora was actually because it was the only other choice rather then Ubuntu the fog installation seemed to support in the script and I have had allot of problems installaing the virtualbox additions on the ubuntu VM so i went with Fedora which worked better.

How do i find out what the actual package names are?

I nanoed the file you mention and got this:

Packages="httpd php php-gd php-cli php-gettext mysql mysql-server php-myswl dhc$

there is allso a storagenodepackages with the excat line as above besides from mysql-server and including nfs-utils which is not on list above
Allso it says my langpackages is “iso-codes”.

So does anyone of you afmrick have any clue how to fix it?

Hi all,

I got Fedora 17 running on a virtuabox VM with Virtualbox additions installed. I ran the installfog.sh script and completed the questions… only got one error:

Checking package: php-gettext…Failed!

else everything worked fine.

My Fog server has IP 192.168.1.15 and when i visit [url]http://192.168.1.15/fog/managemenet[/url] nothing happens.

I can ping the maschine
I can’t telnet port 80 or 8080 or 443

I tried to reboot which didn’t help…

All this test were done from my host mashine running virutual box and its from that i try and access the mangemenet site using IE9

Is the php-getext that crusial for it to work? and how do i fix it?

Just to help out my fellow Foggers (couldn’t help myself) who might have the same issues this is what i did.

The problem was indeed that i didn’t have have vmware tools installed… I stopped trying to get that installed from VMware and tried virtualbox instead where i found solution.

Allso i went from Ubuntu to Fedora so this works for fedora …

In order to to install the VirtualAdditions in Fedora i used this guide:

[url]http://www.if-not-true-then-false.com/2010/install-virtualbox-guest-additions-on-fedora-centos-red-hat-rhel/[/url]

i found though that i need to do this step again after i completed the guide:

[COLOR=#d8d8d8][COLOR=#0000ff][B]mkdir[/B] /media/VirtualBoxGuestAdditions [B]mount[/B] -r /dev/cdrom /media/VirtualBoxGuestAdditions[/COLOR][/COLOR]
[COLOR=#d8d8d8][COLOR=#000000]Remember to do “yum install bzip2” because it would be needed. I my have forgot the name but when you try and install VG it will complain and give you the correct name… [/COLOR][/COLOR]

[COLOR=#d8d8d8][COLOR=#000000]Hope this helped… [/COLOR][/COLOR]

thanks for your help chad… im not going through any proxies…

I will try to retrive the tar.gx file in another way… ftp or something…

again thanks for your help!

Hi Chad,

sorry for my late answer busy busy busy…

I tried the checksum thing and go ff911abc07ff6f714f21c2829192aeb so i guess I have a corrupt download right?

atlast someone answers!! thank you

Im not that experinced with all this Linux stuff but as i see it there are no MD5…

I have tried to download the file againg but not without deleting the original first… I don’t know if Ubuntu does any thing “smart” if you want to download the same file again without deleting the one you downloaded before… do you know?

I must say thought that the download went pretty quick but i am on a company line with 50/50 Mbits and its only around 35-45 in size so… i did check the size because i did have the same concern you mention but i couldn’t see any real difference in filesize… i suspect it will never be spot on…

can no one help me?? it should be really easy and quick to recreate in a virtual box

ok i don’t get why this isn’t working… not i have tried with Debian with everything as above and it did nothing. I even tried to do it like root and still the same error… christ…

I get the same error with a fresh debian install…

could it be because im using 64 bit ubuntu server?

Im gonna try a Debian installation instead and see if that fairs better…

Hi all…

First of all im new to Linux so im struggling with the most basic stuff, but i guess you need to start somewhere right?..

The error:

after downloading fog_0.32.tar.gz from sourceforge using wget I can’t seem to unpack it using tar with the command “tar -xzf fog_0.32.tar.gz”. I get the error:

Gzip: stdin: not in gzip format
tar: Child returned status 1
tar: error is not recoverable: exiting now

what i have:

I have a vmware set up where i have installed a ubuntu server 12.04.

What i have tried:

I tried starting the tar command with sudu - did nothing
Tried to install updates with the command “sudo apt-get update” and then run the tar command- did nothing
Tried to install Build essentials using the command “sudo apt-get install build-essential” and then run the tar command - did nothing

I have downloaded the same tar file from sourceforge onto my windows 7 and unpacked it with winrar which went OK

I have reinstalled my ubuntu server and tried the above- did nothing

I have been on the net for hours to find a solution but from what i can see the error can mean anything. but i really don’t see what im missing…

I need some help here… im at a loss…

And since i condsider this a learning experince please don’t give me workaround…atleast not without and explenation as to why its not working… else i won’t learn anything…

Thanks!!

Casper
