[quote=“chad-bisd, post: 5420, member: 18”]If you make the other storage node master, it replicates the contents of its /images to all other storage nodes in the group, including the main FOG server. This is dangerous because if you do it wrong, you will overwrite all your images with nothing, basically wiping out the images.

If you add another storage node, wait for the images to replicate to it, then change it to master. You will probably need to adjust the my.cnf file on the main FOG server to allow connections from remote hosts, and you have to provide the storage node with the proper password for connecting back to the MySQL database on the main FOG server.

On the storage nodes, edit the /opt/fog/service/etc/config.php file. The username is almost always “fogstorage” and the password is almost always “fs####” where #### is some random number. The password is available in the FOG WebUI under Other Information, FOG Settings, FOG Storage Nodes.[/quote]

Yeah, I got all of that from the wiki. I don’t remember the my.cnf editing though.

[quote=“chad-bisd, post: 5415, member: 18”]If you have a storage node in the same storage group, AND you have it configured properly, then the FOGImageReplicator service on the main server will push the image files to the storage nodes via ftp.

there is a great storage nodes document on the wiki.[/quote]

So,I don’t have to make the added storage node master for the main server to make the push? Because that is what I did, since the added storage node has more disk space.

[quote=“chad-bisd, post: 5413, member: 18”]no. only matters when you add storage nodes.[/quote]
I’ve already added one storage node already.

Am I to be worried about these group manager notices/errors?

In my excitement to get back into the UI, I forgot that the original problem is still present. Still getting the error in the replicator log.

[quote=“chad-bisd, post: 5333, member: 18”]ok. you show to only have user that can login to the fog web interface. The username is root.

run this, as it will only update the root user that you use to login to the web interface and nothing else. You can change this after you get back into fog web ui if you want.

run these commands from the “mysql>” prompt after connecting as root.
[CODE]
use fog;
UPDATE users SET uPass = MD5(‘password’) where uName = ‘root’ limit 1;
[/CODE]
If you don’t get any errors then this should reset the password to “password” and let you login to the FOG web user interface with username “root” and password “password”.

This DOES NOT change the root password for any other part of FOG or the operating system. This doesn’t even change the mysql root password, ONLY the username and password you put into the login box on the FOG server webpage.[/quote]

I’m IN! That fixed it! Thank you so much Chad. I really appreciate you having patience with me.

Now I will start another thread about why I can’t upload a Windows 7 image without getting that darn multi partition error from the pxe boot screen.

[quote=“chad-bisd, post: 5330, member: 18”][CODE]mysql> mysql>[/CODE]

I posted the command with the prompt in it so you’d know you need to run the script at the mysql> prompt.

Remove “mysql>” from the query. Technically, I should have said. At the mysql> prompt, type “select uName from users;”[/quote]

Jesus. :oops:

[CODE]mysql> select uName from users;
±------+
| uName |
±------+
| root |
±------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)[/CODE]

See it??

[quote=“chad-bisd, post: 5310, member: 18”]ok. query the users table in the fog database in mysql and post the contents.
[CODE]
mysql -u root -ppassword fog
mysql>select uName from users;
[/CODE]

That should list all logins available to the web interfaces.[/quote]

[CODE]mysql> mysql>select uName from users;
