Hi,

Thanks a lot for your answsers, i will try your advices and come back soon.

Edit : Just tried to modify my /etc/exports file but got the same error again. But i go back to “before update state” why my snapshot and see that before update values in /etc/exports was /media/administrateur/images and /media/administrateur/images/dev like you say @Sebastian-Roth.

That means that update to 1.5.7 modify my configuration in some ways in this files but not only because if i change it after update it not works.

Have a good day.

Well i follow a tutorial on the forum to add a another disk on my Vm for all the images because i have many to manage in the school network i handle. So all the images is on this disk.

That’s the results of commands

So /dev/sdb is the images disks and it is mount on /media/administrateur/images, that’s the way it’s configured in the storage node in the GUI and before the update to 1.5.7 it worked good.

In the .fogsettings the “storageLocation” was /images before the update so i let it. Update changes fogproject si i move it to fog in this file.

I have a snapshot before the update so ichecked many things on files and GUI before and after update and tried to configure same things on same place but i d’ont know i must forget a thing …

Regards.

Hi all,

Please excuse me if my english is not perfect …

I have update my FOG Server (Ubuntu) 1.5.5.3 to 1.5.7, all seems to go well except when i try to download image on a host i have a mount error

I have test many things i seen on many topics of this forum like this one https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/9823/mounting-images-dev-on-images-failed-permissions-denied :

Make sure NFS is running with:
systemctl status nfs-server
Set the ownership of the images directory to user fog and group root like this:
chown -R fog:root /images
Then try again.
Also, see what this says:
showmount -e

"
Also check the .mntcheck files

Before upgrade the user in fogsettings and GUI was Fog, upgrade changed it in Fogproject then i changed it again in Fog but got the same error again.

My server has a separated disk for images but seems ok because the mounting looks good in fstab, and Fog server recognize images and space on “Storage Node disk Usage” in dashboard.

The problem is i think localise in this part of the error message "storage=10.149.20.64:/media/type=down but can’t say why appear.

Hey,

Have a good day.

Hi,

I am using FOG since few years and i have a recent problem.

I am actually preparing W10 systems for my school, have to use GPT partition to work well with new processors.

I have just migrate to 1.5.5.3 to avoid problems with UEFI. I am able to capture and download images without problems on physical or Vms. But if i configure UEFI to boot to NIC ipv4 first and if no FOG task configured for the host i got this message :

Seems FOG can’t link the boot to the disk system.

I have configure my DHCP server to use ipxe.efi file like it is describe on the link i see on few topics here.

And seems it’s ok because FOG is able to launch well tasks.

I have this problem on both Vms and physical computers (tests on Optiplex 3050). I have correctly configure the bios i think.

I want to try other kernels but not sure it works better.

Regards

Hi,

Hi FOG Community,

I do have fix my error 4xx issue but got a new one this morning :

The symptoms not exactly the same when i try to reach the GUI, the browser is serching a while then respond a “504 Gateway Timeout” Error.
And it get the screenshot message on the client pxe boot.

After fixing my “Http 4xx error client” with “ALTER USER” command i was able to capture images and server seemed fixed but this morning it seems not that well.

Hi,

I have that problem

When i try to reach web interface i get “Database connection unavailable” and when i try to reach “http://10.149.20.67/fog/service/ipxe/boot.php?mac=00:00:00:00:00:00” i get " "A valid database connection could not be made"Database connection unavailable "

Just get back from holidays, i have a snapshot of my FOG 1.5.4 on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS took just before holidays and had no problems at this moment. When i go back to the snapshot everything work fine like 10-15 minutes then seems something in the web server is crashing.

If someone have an idea it would be great because i don’t want to install the server again.

Regards.
