disk space is fine 50% used on the terabyte /images and /root is on using 19% of a 250 gb drive.

Ubuntu 14 SVN 4602 web pages fail to load at all unless retried several times this is no matter which icon is clicked the apache error log shows this error repeating.

So leave as is or replace with the string from the wiki.

In the wiki under https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Fog_Tweaks is a section dealing with PHP Session Purging. When I checked my /etc/cron.d/php5 the line that was recomended for editing didn’t match what I expected instead of “09,39 * * * * root [ -x /usr/lib/php5/maxlifetime ] && [ -d /var/lib/php5 ] && find /var/lib/php5/ -depth -mindepth 1 -maxdepth 1 -type f -cmin +$(/usr/lib/php5/maxlifetime) ! -execdir fuser -s {} 2>/dev/null ; -delete” I have “09,39 * * * * root [ -x /usr/lib/php5/sessionclean ] && /usr/lib/php5/sessionclean” is there a change in how this is handled in ubuntu 14 I am running SVN 4602.

I have seen this at the campus level but switching ports or cable fixed it and I chalked it up to a bad cable but when it happened today I tested the cable every way I can think of and find no issues with it.

Ok traced it to a switch or cable issue something about fog won’t successfully image on a port that for all appearances is fine network boot works but when it reinitializes the connection to image it fails is the best guess but even a fluke netscanner cant find any issues with the connection.

It registers but does not image as described in the first post.

if you are running svn it is now handled thru the web interface

HP prodesk 400 G1 MT with a realtek PCIe GBE NIC identical PC’s register fine it seems to be an issue with this one only.

Tried that first time it happened it was at a school campus we have since brought it back to my office for trouble shooting.

Ubuntu 14.04.2 SVN 3728
When I try to register one particular PC I get the error “fog unable to register host for the following reasons” but the reason is blank. I have checked the sql database directly and find no records under the computer name not the mac address and if I enter the record manually and send an image the it seems to work up to where it attempting to send inventory then destination os then the screen goes black and i just have a blinking cursor at the bottom.

Almost any modern CPU and 4 gigs of RAM will handle your load maybe a terabyte of drive space in a raid setup for redundancy and the fastest NIC supported by the OS you choose and your network you can go 2 or 4 if you want to try teaming your NIC’s but this would be overkill for your needs I think.

It really depends on usage. How many clients, how many images, how large are your images, compression level, number of images sent at a time?

While it doesn’t find all issues it is quick to check and will reduce issues with imaging a bad drive, I certainly haven’t see any false drive failure messages.

Try this thread. https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/3027/issue-deleting-host

You can recreate each image manually thru the web interface or you can import you mysql database for the same info and it would restore your hosts and images.

Would need the host fog.log for sure

What OS is your fog server running on? You can also try the script in this thread https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/4581/let-s-make-scripts

I’m gonna shelve this for a bit we break for vacation today when i get back I will hit this again and get all the logs posted.

yes they do match the settings on the storage node for sqluser and pass
