Hi Gents,

I am no expert, but hopefully my input can help a little.

First, quick MACLookUp on the MAC in the screenshot 080027 cadmus computer systems, looking for cadmus computer systems, VirtualBox came up. so that’s that. https://www.virtualbox.org/pipermail/vbox-dev/2011-August/010036.html

Just this past week i had an issue with our POS system that runs over PXE (Nothing to do with FOG).

Scenario

EXSi 5.5 Upt 2 host running Windows 7 guest and inside the guest VirtualBox. Inside VirtualBox a Virtual machine running our POS system (Point of Sale jst fyi ) that is called via PXE.

The PXE call would time out, which i think is the problem you are having.

The way i was able to make it work was by ENABLING – PROMISCUOUS MODE – in the EXSi Host.

In Virtual box not sure how to enable, but a quick search tells me that all you have to do is change the NIC you are using the FOG with to Bridged Adapter instead of Internal Network which is most likely what you are using.
https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch06.html

Just to try change your FOG server network adapter to Bridged Adapter (Literally will simulate you physical NIC ) to see what happens, it wont hurt !!!

Again way far from expert, but in my case using fog, since this beautiful software uses PXE and DHCP among a lot more things. I though to myself, just to be on the safe side i will keep my FOG server completely isolated from my actual network, because in my case i just use it to clone computers and more important i already have a DHCP and PXE service already running … that would be a call for problems to put my fog server on the same network !!!

Hope this helps a little, if not well i shared something !!!

Cheers mate !!!

Hi Guys,

Didn’t wanted to bother anyone again since we solved the problem. But indeed as @MagicLink said when entering a password during fog installation gave me the issue again (I had to prepared a backed server in case this one goes bad), however all i had to do was make sure MYSQL was running correctly (ran into the same problem, but i had a fixed !!!) 0_1459315888568_ERROR 2002 (HY000)-FOG SERVER MYSQL FIX.txt

Then make sure that the both configuration files match the inf you entered during the installation
/var/www/html/fog/lib/fog/config.class.php
/opt/fog/.fogsettings
and DONE.

ps,

Not sure what i did wrong but when i re-ran the install the LOCALHOST in the config file /var/www/html/fog/lib/fog/config.class.php was changed to the IP i gave my server instead of the “localhost”

Just change changed it to “localhost” and DONE !!!

Lesson !!!

Always make sure your config file is setup correctly !!!

Regards Gents !!!

@Wayne-Workman
Hey Wayne !!!

That’s exactly what i though !!! But it was never FOG it was MYSQL that somehow wast not giving the right privileges to the root user for localhost

I am able to load the WEB GUI !!! Now i am going to start playing with it !!!

@Tom-Elliott

!!! SUCCESS !!!

Hi Tom,

this is a fresh install, i have another Fog server fully functional. I am just trying to do another one from zero. NO need to backup anything.!!!

i had a an error running sudo apt-get --purge mysql* so i tried

apt-get purge mysql-server mysql-client mysql-common mysql-server-core-5.5 mysql-client-core-5.5

rm -rf /etc/mysql /var/lib/mysql

apt-get autoremove

apt-get autoclean

then i ran

#apt-get install mysql-server

then check the Privileges and still root@localhost still has “select table data” only !!!

i tried resetting MYSQL - Got an error…
Well a good completed restart of my Ubuntu box will not hurt.

I tried checking the privileges but i couldn’t log in to MYSQL !!!

ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can’t connect to local MySQL server through socket ‘/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock’ (2)

Thankfully i had that problem before and from my notes i fixed it (the file i sent you guys before ERROR 2002)

reset MYSQL

/etc/init.d/mysql restart

AND NOW I DO HAVE ----- GRANT_PRIVI ---- for root@localhost

Oh man !!!

Not sure what happened, but i had to remove the mysql which i thoght i had done a couple of times but i wasn’t doing it right than do a manual install mysql server

It was never fog it was MYSQL

Thanks a lot guys !!! Hope this helps someone in the future !!!

@Sebastian-Roth

I’ll try his suggestion !!

@Sebastian-Roth

Again gents thanks !!!

I am down to GRANT root USER the right privileges I THINK !!!

Also i ran into a problem when running what you suggested mysql --user=root -p (Please see attachment fixed ) hopefully it helps someone else.

Just for convenience i install Webmin !!!

0_1458766852050_ERROR 2002 (HY000)-FOG SERVER MYSQL FIX.txt

I still can’t grant the right privileges to root user for localhost. I tried even running mysql install again (keeping the same mysql root pass i’ve been using )but nothing.

@Sebastian-Roth

0_1458709862681_.fogsettings

please see attachment !!!

I think somehow i need to grant access to localhost to the root user .

@Sebastian-Roth

Hi Sebastian,

Thanks for the help.

Indeed i assume my issue is MYSQL for the kind of error msg i’ve been getting.

• This was a clean install of Ubuntu 14.04. No MYSQL as far as i know unless in this version it is installed by default

• I was asked to type a MYSQL password for the root user while installing FOG. (Nothing)

• I saw in some post that entering a password for MYSQL root user may bring problems and
  leave it blank. I am not a linux expert but any root user without password its a big no no !! but just for testing. (Nothing )

• i tried to edit this /opt/fog/.fogsettings (snmysqlpass=‘…’) but i dont see it anywhare i can get into /opt/fog/ but its empty.

#Not exactly sure if it makes any difference but i ran the installed as a SUDO user and not as ROOT which is what i’ve done in the past.

At the moment i am re-doing everything from zero on a different hard drive, but this time i will run the installer as root. Not sure if it makes any difference, but worth to try.

Very much appreciated for your time !!!

@Tom-Elliott

Thanks Tom !!!

@Tom-Elliott

Oh Man what did i missed !!! is this Trunk the latest ??? (I will do my research on it)

here it is what’s in the file !!!
0_1458620896910_fog_error_6865.log

Again Tom thanks so much for your help !!!
