Thank you for the advice (run fsck!).

Here I had the same problem: ubuntu 12.04, ext3 partition, uploaded a 900 bytes image!

I run a fsck (which said “everything clean”), and the image is now uploading …
now try to deploy it

giammy

did you solve the problem?

I got that error using php 5.4: everything went ok using php 5.3

Hi,

tftp service do not need a password, so it is not a password problem.
Note that FTP is not TFTP, are 2 different services.

Do you have a tftp service on your machine?
Do you see it with ps?

in my machine I see:

root@foggy:/# ps aux | grep tftp
root 6396 0.0 0.0 7548 856 pts/0 S+ 11:02 0:00 grep tftp
root 12614 0.0 0.0 14632 320 ? Ss May02 0:00 /usr/sbin/in.tftpd --listen --user tftp --address 0.0.0.0:69 --secure /tftpboot

Where do you get the message “unable to connect …”?
If you do from another PC

tftp <your fog server IP> which message do you have?

bye
giammy

Dear all,

I’m trying to understand the password scheme of FOG:
I have a (more or less) working configuration, but
I’d like to make things more clear!

I summarize what I have uderstand up to now …
if someone wants to integrate, perhaps it will be usefull
for everyone.

The reference Fog Installation installation is a
Linux box (Debian) with both storage node and Web UI
(DNS and DHCP are on different machines), and 1 user
configured with

• user: fog
• pass: mypass
  On the Linux box I can access via ssh with user fog,
  ftp, with user fog, and tftp

FOG PASSWORD CONFIGURATION

In the FOG configuration file commons/config.php

define( “MYSQL_DATABASE”, “fog” );
define( “MYSQL_USERNAME”, “root” );
define( “MYSQL_PASSWORD”, “mypass” );
This password is used by the Web UI to access the database.
If wrong - the Web UI says: “Unable to connect to database.”

define( “TFTP_FTP_USERNAME”, “fog” );
define( “TFTP_FTP_PASSWORD”, “mypass” );
This password is used for the FTP access?
(tftp do not need password)

define( “STORAGE_FTP_USERNAME”, “fog” );
define( “STORAGE_FTP_PASSWORD”, “mypass” );
And this password? For FTP? And the previous one?
Which is the difference between the 2?

On the Fog Web UI I have:

Other Information -> Fog Settings

FOG Storage Nodes

FOG_STORAGENODE_MYSQLUSER fogstorage
FOG_STORAGENODE_MYSQLPASS anotherpass
(in my configuration here I have a password in the form fsnnnn …
created at installation time: where is it used?)

FOG_TFTP_FTP_USERNAME fog
FOG_TFTP_FTP_PASSWORD mypass
(same as TFTP_FTP_PASSWORD I imagine)

Storage Management -> Edit Storage Node Definition
Management Username: fog
Management Password: mypass
(this must match the FTP password of the PC?)

thanks

Hi,

I found out the problem: it was the PHP version.

I install fog letting the installer to download all it needs, but the first installation
was debian testing, which install php5.4, which is NOT compatible with FOG.

I reinstalled all the PC with a debian 6.04 (the last stable), which comes with
php 5.3 and everything go up and works!

thanks for the help
giammy

hi,

I agree: there a problem in my installation ad I get a blank page, not the one yuo attached!
I’m trying to find out ehich is the problem

bye
giammy

hi,

looking at the webserver logs, when I click on “Upload Image”
(and got a blank page) I see various errors.

Can this problem be caused by a wrong php version?
i installed debian testing netinstall, and run the fog
installation script which installed the needed software.

The php version I have now is php5 5.4.0-3.

Can this be a problem?
Is there a php reccomended version?

thanks
giammy

hi,

in storage management, all storage nodes, default member, I have:

Management Username fog
Management Password mypass

I must I I do not have a very clear understanding of the use of this password:
from what I understand, the linux box has 1 user and 1 mypass to access
both via ssh and ftp: the linux box needs to have other access types?

thanks
giammy

hi,

and thanks for the reply!

I’m working on a Debian GNU/Linux wheezy/sid
root@foggy:# uname -a
Linux foggy 3.2.0-2-amd64 #1 SMP Sun Apr 15 16:47:38 UTC 2012 x86_64 GNU/Linux

I installed on the vanilla debian (netinstall) the fog_0.32.tar.gz package.

The configuration I used is:

Distro: Ubuntu
Installation Type: Normal Server
Server IP Address: x.x.35.223
DHCP router Address: x.x.35.225
DHCP DNS Address: x.x.35.1
Interface: eth0
Using FOG DHCP: 0
Internationalization: 0

I have a single machine with web UI, tftp and storage, while DNS and DHCP
are on different machines.

The fox machine has 1 user fog with password mypass,
and I can connect to it via ssh or ftp.

I setted mypass in the database as:

sudo mysql -p’password’
use fog;
UPDATE users SET uPass = MD5(‘mypass’) WHERE uName = ‘fog’;
exit;

in the file /var/www/fog/commons/config.php I have:

define( “TFTP_FTP_USERNAME”, “fog” );
define( “TFTP_FTP_PASSWORD”, “mypass” );
…
define( “STORAGE_FTP_USERNAME”, “fog” );
define( “STORAGE_FTP_PASSWORD”, “mypass” );

define( “MYSQL_HOST”, “localhost” );
define( “MYSQL_DATABASE”, “fog” );
define( “MYSQL_USERNAME”, “root” );
define( “MYSQL_PASSWORD”, “mypass” );

I think I setted all the password to mypass.

in the web UI -> Fog Settings, I see, as password:

FOG Storage Nodes
FOG_STORAGENODE_MYSQLUSERfogstorage
FOG_STORAGENODE_MYSQLPASSmypass

TFTP server
FOG_TFTP_FTP_USERNAMEfog
FOG_TFTP_FTP_PASSWORDmypass

Am I missing other passwords?

Have you gone through and updated your TFTP password and default storage password after you installed FOG?

I can correctly access to TFTP (no password), and ftp (using mypass).

The default storage password how cam be setted? where is used?

thanks again
giammy

Hi all,

I have a new FOG installation: it has 1 host configured: the host correctly
boots from FOG tftpboot.

From the fog WebUI I correctly see my host as green (I imagine it means that
host server can ping my client).

When I go to Host management, list hosts, click on my host,
go in basic action an click on Upload (I want upload an host image)
I’m shown a page with title “Task management” and a white page.
If I go to task management, active task, no tasks are shown.

Obviously, if I reboot my host, it just boots with pxe, no image upload.

I think the task is not activated: how can I find the reason?
any log file to look at?

thanks
giammy
