Confirmed my main FOG server can replicate to my storage node now. Thanks again everyone for your help I’m glad the solution was simple.

I did what you suggested Mentaloid and I immediately got a permission denied error, I applied the permission octal code 0755 to directories and set the permissions recursively and restarted my FOG server and now those services are starting up. For some reason the octal code was set to 0644.

I now have the TTY 2 ,3 and 4 screens. I will now retry to connect my second storage node

When I start the services I don’t notice any changes especially the log files or the other TTY screens appearing, it’s like they load into a black hole somewhere never to be seen again. I was hoping to find a log file somewhere that will note any information regarding the startup of the services so that I may track it down easier… like I said earlier, I had to change the NIC on the main server which may have caused this issue which so far is only a theory.

I have attempted the re-install of FOG and it has not changed anything and I’m hesitant to do a SVN or regular upgrade to the 1.2 version. I experimented upgrading 0.32 to version 1.0.x versions and my results were OK, but I noted some challenges and will mean a few changes on our backend like DHCP options is required.

I did meet with my supervisors yesterday afternoon and we are discussing some changes on how we are managing the FOG servers and we will look into the newer releases of FOG sometime in June 2015. Right now I’m observing other forums regarding the best combinations for new FOG releases and the OS distro/version to use.

here’s the text output of that command

Hi Tom, Attached a zip file of the logs you requested including a screen shot (well a text output of my putty session) of the commands you suggested I run…

I have look around the forums and even google searching the issue and so far nothing comes up why the services don’t start or stay running and usually the ones I do find already have the log files available for troubleshooting which of course is not true in my case. the TTY2, 3, and 4 screens aren’t available either and they show up fine on my other FOG servers I have setup with storage nodes. I typically use the Ubuntu 12.0.4 LTS server install 32bit or 64bit OS and the 0.32 FOG installer on my installations. The server I’m having trouble with is a 32bit version.

I also have redone this particular server from scratch last week, and restored the images and database on it and still have the same issue… perhaps an issue with the MYSQL database?

The server does fine with all other functions, downloading and uploading images and running snapins.

No results with that command.

There are no logs in that directory,

I managed to figure out how to set my network adapter to use eth1 instead of eth2, still no luck with starting the services. can anyone point me to a log file where linux will store events regarding the service startups for the services [FONT=arial][COLOR=#222222]FOGImageReplicator, FOGMulticastManager, and FOGScheduler[/COLOR][/FONT]

This issue is with my FOG server and storage node at one of my sites I support, I done this at other sites just fine but the difference is that I had to replace the network card in the FOG server so now the interface is eth2 and not eth1 and I think that is causing the services to fail on stop up and manual attempts to start any of the 3 services have been unsuccessful. I switched the network card before I added the storage node so I never suspected I might have a config problem. I can register and image computers just fine however.

I have set the storage node under the same storage group.

The TTY 2, 3, and 4 screens are not available on the master FOG server.

Hello,

I have attempted to install a second storage node on one of my FOG servers and the replicator, multicast manager, and scheduler services are not running on my main FOG server. I have change the interface from eth1 to eth2 which I believe has something to do with why those services are now running. I went through every config file I can think of to change the interface from eth1 to eth2 but I still cannot get those services to start so that the FOG server can replicate my images to the storage node.

Version of FOG is 0.32 and no immediate plans to update

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide .
