@george1421 I’m in the management console! Thank You!!!

@george1421 So “git checkout working” gives me the same error. I tried running the commands from the link below and got this:
mysql -u root -p
Type ‘help;’ or ‘\h’ for help. Type ‘\c’ to clear the current input statement.

mysql> drop database fog
-> exit
-> exit
->
It won’t exit.

@george1421 I navigated to /Home/fogproject and ran the “git checkout dev-branch” and got “not a git repository” error message. This is all so over my head. Maybe I’ll just see if I can download CentOS 7 and try to get it to work. A friend told me this was easy to setup but it seems you really have to know a lot about linux. I’m from the Windows and Mac world where you just install it and it goes.

@Tom-Elliott Please ignore my previous post about this. I gave up on my current installation and reinstalled CentOS 8 and then tried to reinstall FOG again. I found a very useful Wiki article for CentOS7 and followed that. I posted a new issue elsewere in the forum so this particular problem no longer exists after a system re-install. I would post a new thread but I don’t know how. I don’t use forms much so I don’t know enough about them. To be honest, I wasn’t expecting folks to be so responsive on here (based on my previous experience with message boards) and I thank you for taking the time to reply.

@george1421 This is a new installation using CentOS 8. I followed the WIKI for CentOS 7 as there is no guide for 8. At the point where I need to configure the database in the FOG installation process I get the error “Database connection unavailable”. I don’t know a lot about Linux. My only experience was with MacOS X and a training class I took about 12 years ago.

@george1421 I’m getting the same error during installation. I previously left the password blank for SQL and the webpage wouldn’t even work. When I have it the same password as Root, I get the “database connection unavailable” message and I can’t continue with FOG install. Help!

@Tom-Elliott I’m having the same problem after a new install using CentOS. I tried running sudo ufw status but it says the command isn’t found. The website wouldn’t work during or after install.
