KK20, thank you VERY much for this! I saw this answer in other places, but I wasn’t sure if it applied to my FOG issue. I was having this issue imaging some Optiplex 9010 all-in-one units…

That was it… Shows in the tutorial not to do this but I was doing it from memory… Hopefully if someone else does this they’ll stumble on this post and immediately figure out that they are wrong

So here’s to following directions…

When loading my last two loads I created the Ubuntu system user as “fog” which was causing my problems I think. I’m testing now to see if I can upload… At least the task is started and running!

So yesterday in an attempt to get this working I reloaded the box with Ubuntu 10.04 LTS and installed FOG under that OS fresh.

Under this new install I was also able to register the host by booting it up with PXE and then doing a full host registration. I’m still having the same issue though with being unable to start a upload task with the FOG Management console. I tried resetting the password using sudo passwd fog and then resetting it but I’m still having issues starting an upload with the same message as in my previous attachment.

I’ve also gone into /var/www/fog/commons/config.php and changed the values for TFTP_FTP_PASSWORD and STORAGE_FTP_PASSWORD to match the password for fog with no luck.

I’m having a similar issue. I’m using Ubuntu 11.10 and have installed FOG 0.32. This is a fresh install. I was able to register a host booting it up from PXE and then performing a full host registration.

When I select that host from the FOG Management console and try and upload, I get “Unable to start task Unable to connect to tftp server” at that confirm task page.

Thanks for this thread guys! I think I mistakenly set my MySQL password during install of FOG 0.32 to an Ubuntu 12.4 LTS build, which was causing this error for me. After changing the MYSQL_PASSWORD line in the config.php file to what I set, I was able to log into my install.
