Some quick questions regarding that.

If I rebuild the VM session, which is the best version of Ubuntu to be on? And when I start installing FOG, do I go straight to trunk or should I install 1.2.0 first then trunk it.

@Wayne-Workman

Unfortunately being at work will not allow me to do so, even when this is work related. I sent you an email for the FOG session tomorrow, hoping that it will get me out of this hole…

@Wayne-Workman

Hmm…yeah
I’m getting the “unable to connect” page, same as below.

Can I ask for your expertise to help me troubleshoot Apache2? I feel like this is where should start but I have no idea how to, as I already uninstalled, deleted .conf file.

@Wayne-Workman

Gotcha.

I just ran ./installfog.sh -y

Updating Database...................................Failed!

How can I verify that Apache2 is running correctly and that it’s doing what its suppose to do?

@Wayne-Workman

But the database isn’t the reason why I cannot see the web interface, right?

@Wayne-Workman

I did delete the .conf file.

As of right now, the fog installer is asking me to update database schema by entering fog management. And I cannot access the web interface to do so.

Any other ideas? I’d be more the willing to try anything you throw at me…

I wish I know which are the main components that allow me to access the web interface to the fogserver so I can dig in there and dissect each component.

@Wayne-Workman

Have tried removing Apache2, uninstalled FOG as a whole, then retrying the installations but I’m still back to the “Unable to Connect” page.

Does this mean anything to you? Could this be the reason why I cannot access web interface?

I know that Apache is the main component for accessing web interface, correct me if I’m wrong. I also have a feeling that log I posted is wrong because of the timestamp dated back to June 6th. I’m trying to find a log for today but could not find it anywhere…

@Tom-Elliott

Hi Tom

First of all, thank you for your time.

When I access the web interface from server (firefox) to update database schema, I get…
When I try to access the web interface from client machines(chrome), i get…

Lastly, I have tried looking at the Apache log but it doesn’t seem right to me because of the timestamp. If this log is not the one, please tell me where to find the correct one.

Hello all

Long time lurker(3months), first time poster. Hope you guys can point me in the right direction.

We have two fogservers. One of the FogServer is running on a Mac (Ubuntu 12.04 with fog version 1.2.0), and the other is a test server running on VMWare(Ubuntu 14).

I’m having troubling updating the test server to the latest trunk, and as you can see above everything ran and installed without any errors. However, for the life of me I CANNOT get the web interface to open!
Where it says Press [Enter] to update database, I cannot get past it because the web management would not open.

Steps I took:
Update via Git
Firewall is disabled
Completely removed Apache and reinstall
Completely removed Fog and reinstall

I’m lost and stuck at this point, hope you guys can shed some light.

Best,

EDIT: When I try to start apache2, this is what I get. Could this be the reason why I cannot access the web interface?
