Yes all of this worked I can cd /images create a folder as the user fog and double check by going to images folder and seeing the test folder.

Ok off for the weekend, will be back at lab on Monday.
Have a good weekend and thanks for the help.

ok
Yes I am able to ftp to the server using the same credentials from the same machine I am trying to image and create/delete folders.
I am also able to do it at the command line on the server as well as Mozilla.

With that said it is creating the folders under /home/fog not under /images/
I don’t know if that matters or not

Thanks for your patience.

I created a new debug upload task that came to a screen that said “you can reboot, run fog or ifconfig”
I type fog and it began to run
When the errors start I clicked ctrl c
I typed ftp 192.168.247.15
It said command not found

Ok I see what you mean now.
I started in debug, typed fog, it threw error unknown request type null will reboot in 1 minute.
I hit Ctrl C it returned me back to command prompt
I typed ftp 192.168.247.15
it returned “command not found”

for upload tasks
I have
schedule shutdown
schedule instance deployment
schedule delayed
schedule cron style

I don’t see upload-debug task

Is there a key to hit when the client boots to PXE to get to this information? I am not sure if this is to be run on the client or server.

The pictures are in reverse but you get the idea.

Yes I made the password the same for everything. That is what I am saying I can plug a cross connect in to the machine and use the same client to ftp to the fog server and create/delete a folder.

So far I have it changed via
passwd
login for fog portal
under storage management
both places in the html file config.php

when I added that line to my conf file and restart the service it says unrecognized variable maybe it’s not compiled for that or something. I triple checked the spelling and made sure _ was in there.
I think I have hit about every road block so far :rolleyes:

Ok will try that
What makes zero sense is I can log in from an alternate Windows machine to that FTP site and create a new folder and delete it with the same credentials.

I deleted the folder associated fog, removed MySQL completely and deleted the MySQL directories.
After that I reinstalled fog and it failed on multicast, I updated the schema and reinstalled fog and everything passed.
When I run a machine image on a fresh install it still fails on the FTP account. I checked all the places that were recommended above and they all match for username and password.
I am not sure if I am missing something or if the installer is not working properly.
Thanks

Under storage management inside default member it is fog // 8b44e4

Ok that makes more sense now thanks. How do you know what method you are using?

I am able to get a machine to boot to PXE but when the image is done the password fails for FTP.
username fog password 8b44e4 which I assume is a random generated password.
I have checked the password in FOG management under TFTP settings it is 8b44e4.
I have also verified password in /var/www/…* config for TFTP and Storage it is the same.

I can also log in to the FTP site with Mozilla and command line with same credentials

I rebooted to make sure the settings took.

I fixed the time zone error in PHP.ini as requested above.

What else could I be missing?

To back up a little what does this process actually do?
If I am able to take and restore an image is it actually working?

I only ask because I am able to start it manually.

Thanks for the reply.

When I did the original install I did exactly what you are saying. I allowed the schema update via the web interface and tried the install after that and it still did not work. Can you perform the schema update again after you have done it once?
It is a lab machine so I can try again and report back.

Hello,
I have tried to install FOG again and I still get this message.
Centos 6.5
FOG 1.01

So far I am still able test to some degree. When I start the service by hand it starts and then PHP barks about time zone which is correct.

This is repost as this is probably a better spot for the query.
thanks in advance
DBA

Anyone know why I would get this error?
Centos 6.5
Fog 1.01
Everything else installs properly accept the Mulitcast Management Server

ok thanks for the reply this is a lab anyway so I expect some changes along the way.
If anyone else has any insight please let me know.

There is a video section on the home page.
When you select a Centos install type do you do an “everything” install or do you install a very basic install type?
