george1421 managed to fix my setup. For some reason there were concurrent mysql daemons running. After closing all mysqld’s, we tried again and everything went perfectly with the installer. Thank you so much george1421 for your help!

When I setup this server, I setup the user ‘cit’ as the root user. Could that be it?

What FOG requires the root user password to be? I don’t mean the mysql password but the actual root USER password?

@george1421 I did run the ALTER user part.

I’m trying the mysql reset password, it should be the mysql password in the .fogsettings file or it should be ‘fog’ (since the line shows “mysqld -u root -p fog” ??

@george1421 I tried mysql -u root -p fog now and can’t login! This was after removing the “unattended-updates” from Ubuntu.

@george1421 something weird is going on. After I did the Ubuntu stuff you mentioned (removing the unattended-updates) I can’t login to mysql using the same line and password as before!

How do I fix that?

@george1421 said in Update FOG to 1.4.4 from 1.3.x and FOG can't load:

@elias-santiago just to confirm one more time. You know the password to log into mysql using mysql -u root -p fog right? If you can have your confirmed in your /opt/fog/.fogsettings file that snmysqluser='root' and snmysqlpass= the password you used to login to mysql and snmysqlhost='127.0.0.1'

There is something wrong here. The error says the .fogsettings file is wrong.

snmysqlhost = ‘localhost’

NOT ‘127.0.0.1’

@george1421 said in Update FOG to 1.4.4 from 1.3.x and FOG can't load:

@elias-santiago has the database password changed for some reason? Have you changed the root user mysql password?

If you look in the file /opt/fog/.fogsettings. There should be the mysql user ID and password listed there. See if you can use that to login to the mysql console with mysql -u root -p fog and when prompted use the mysql password listed in the .fogsettings file.

Since you are also running ubuntu you may want to review this post: https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/10006/ubuntu-is-fog-s-enemy

I already did what you recommended about Ubuntu.

@george1421 There seems to be some issue with mysql (never had it before), there is a line in the installer error log that says:

ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user ‘root’@‘localhost’ (using password: YES)

How do I fix that? I know my way around servers and everything, but in Unix I’m still somewhat of a novice.

@george1421 I have never set the proxy setting, in what file do I find it?

The fog server connects directly to internet.

No matter how many times I retry the installer, everything seems to go smoothly until this line comes up: Database backup… failed.
