Hello Guys,

thanks for all these information,

I installed FOG 1.2 (old) and updated later to the 1.4 on the same server with debian 9 .

I had the same problem
<
The server will boot to the FOG menu, but after selecting the quick registration, the system does not get an IP address

It have simply an wrong ip adresse in FOG configuration, like :
…
TFTP Server
…
Web Server
…
(wrong ip from the old install, ip adress changed)

after fixing the fog server ip address every things works fine.

Debian9 fully compatible with FOG1.4

Bye

Hassan

[quote=“dramaley, post: 45325, member: 29347”]Thank you for the responses so far!

I was able to find where the database is created and might look into hacking it into working. But for now I’ll wait before taking any action, in case someone can help me understand the root cause and fix it more elegantly.

I’ll also attach the foginstall.log and Apache error_log to this post in case that is useful; I did notice some errors in the error_log that I don’t understand yet.

I checked in /var/www/html/fog/lib/fog/Config.class.php and found the root database password was correct. It does use some funny characters, but there are no single quotes in the password so it should be just fine. I can confirm that the database was actually created, with tables:

[root@fog-test fog]# mysql

Hi Dramaley,
following this installation error, my database “fog” was not created, I looked in the file (Debian) /var/www/fog/lib/fog/Config.class.php and found that the user root password empty, during the installation of Fog I left it blank, in fact my mysql root user’s password was not empty.

this has fixed my problem on Debian 6.0.3, Debian 7.7, Debian 7.8.

I stay interested to know the solution in your case

Thanks to all.
