Thanks, for the firewall tips, unfortunately none have worked. I have gotten systems to image though. So for now, atleast until I get some of these systems off my plate; I am imaging machines as is. The question I have now is, when I set up Virtual box do I need to change the nat ftp setting to undionly.kpxe. If this needs to be addressed with a new post let me know and I will do so.

I get “iptables: unrecognized service.”

Ok… I tried something else. I went to the localhost and tried loading the fog config page and it worked, I am able to edit my config, and save changes. but when I navigate to the ip and try to check it, it still comes up blank. So…to me this indicates that Apache is setting everything up under the localhost and I need to change it in Apache to my static IP, sound about right?

Right, when I set fog up on my home network it worked first try, and I am using 12.04 desktop at home. I have even brought my 12.04 from home and installed it on this system and ended up with the same results after installing fog. Has anyone ever posted about trouble installing fog on specific server models, if so I’ll check them out?

Ok, Server you say… I was told by my co-workers to use the desktop version, might that have something do with me not having all of the required packages?

Still no luck, I downloaded Fog 1.0.1 at home threw it on a flash drive and brought it in. It still installs with a blank page. I have been thinking that it has to have something to do with my Ubuntu set up prior to installing Fog. Is there something on the wiki page or another forum post any one knows of that gives a list of packages or apps that I need to setup before installing Fog on Ubuntu 12.04 (other than the standard wiki installation page)?

Not that I know of. The cat who set this up before I started here was able to get it installed and working. Co-workers told me he did “something to trick it into working,” but none of them know what it was, and I have no way of contacting the guy. I think I am going to try and put the fog installer on a flash drive and copy it over to the server and install it. Bypassing my work network of course.

Ok, I thought it was the fog management page that was messed up because of what it said in the error log. It is not; it’s the fog configuration page that is blank. All the other pages are there and I have also been able to ping existing clients after re-loading my database from backup, it also shows my snap-ins and images. I tried installing fog on my network at home and had no issues, it was gravy. After that I tried to install it on a laptop here at work completely fresh, and I still get the blank config page. Since having a successful install outside of my network, and none inside, I’m now thinking that the issue is with my network. But from what I understand from the forums, the only thing I need to change from my previous version is setting up the DCHP server rules 66 & 67 (which I have already done). Is there anything that I could be missing as far as my network setup is concerned?

Everything, it is a blank page. The Apache log gives me this error: [Thu May 15 13:55:54 2014] [error] [client 10.5.96.220] File does not exist: /var/www/access, referer: [url]http://10.5.96.220/fog/management/index.php?node=about[/url]

Once I get the msg to update the schema from the install I am opening up Firefox (from the server), updating the schema, logging in and finally going to the fog management page so I can configure it but it is not there.

Today I updated my Fog database from my back-up just for giggles. The fog man page is still missing. I seem to be going around in circles; wipe, install, wipe, install and not making any more progress. What else could be going on with my system that could be causing my installs to not finish properly? I haven’t seen any thing new in my apache error logs, and mySQL logs are all empty. When I do the install I also don’t notice anything wrong.

Okay, got rid of the 127.0.1.1 issue. Still get the blank management page. However I found a new error after I updated my schema… Hopefully this one will have some useful information (the 10.5.96.220 ip is my fog server):

Still no successful install… can’t figure out why Apache keeps putting 127.0.1.1 as the DNS server. Should I try pointing it to my router and see what happens?

Well, my adventure continues. I tried the “upgrade -f” and the “update” prior to install, and then after I seen that the management page wasn’t there; neither worked. I went back to the Apache log and found an error i didn’t see before. Says a few times that Apache can’t determine the FQDN and assigns the local add. as the name. I assume this means that fog is not communicating with the DNS server to resolve the FQDN. I probably typed the add. for the DNS server wrong. At any rate, I uploaded the Apache log from this last install if any one would like to have a look. I also noticed this time around that there are more php pages it’s looking for and can’t find, and not just the Fog management page.

I did the “apt-get update” before I started the install; however, “apt-get upgrade” is news to me. I will try it when I get to the FOG install. Thanks for the help! Apache is throwing the same “file does not exist” error that I posted above; the others are gone.

Thanks again for the help with my update. I ended up starting fresh after fully deleting fog also failed. It resolved most of the issues, but the fog management page is still blank for me. I think I’m messing something up during the install. When the install finishes do I need to go directly to the fog management page (x.x.x.x/fog/management) to do the update for the schema or can that be done at say the fog main page? I have been going to the main page (x.x.x.x/fog) and doing the update. As far as I can tell that would be the only time I have done something different. I should also note that I haven’t re-added my database or images at this point either. I plan on wiping it again and starting fresh in the morning. When I do, I will try it as directed. If any one has anything to add, it would be appreciated.

Ok, much appreciated. I will try it out, if it doesn’t work I will let you know.

Ok, I assume that uninstalling FOG following the steps on the wiki won’t completely remove Fog and that’s why I should start fresh?

Any suggestions on how to get my Fog Management UI to show up on my Fog page so that I can change my TFTP settings?

I have also tried reinstalling for a third time but have had no luck.
