I already have FOG 0.32 installed. I attempted to upgrade to ‘trunk’, following the instructions provided in the link found in my original post. Doing do resulted in FOG becoming ‘broken’, yielding a 500 internal server error.

@Sebastian-Roth

Sebastian, attempted again following these instructions:
https://joshtronic.com/2013/12/30/upgrade-php-5-3-php-5-5-ubuntu-12-04-lts/

No distinguishable errors. At the end of the process, php5 -v yields this:

PHP Deprecated:  Comments starting with '#' are deprecated in /etc/php5/cli/conf.d/mcrypt.ini on line 1 in Unknown on line 0
PHP 5.3.2-1ubuntu4.30 with Suhosin-Patch (cli) (built: Apr 17 2015 15:01:29)
Copyright (c) 1997-2009 The PHP Group
Zend Engine v2.3.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2010 Zend Technologies

So, from the looks of it, update/install not successful.

@Tom-Elliott

Okay, I’ve tried a few times now to install a higher version of PHP on Lucid 10.04 LTS, but so far, I have been unsuccessful.

@Sebastian-Roth

PHP v 5.3.2-lubuntu4.30

Unable to access web-interface. But last version before Trunk install was 0.32

@Quazz

Quazz, checked out /opt/fog/.fogsettings No special characters, just alphanumeric string between quotes.

@Quazz

No, this install is still utilizing default login/pw.

Upgraded to Trunk today using SVN as directed by instructions here:

SVN/GiT upgrade instructions

All looked to go well until I did a reboot and attempted to log into the management console. Upon so doing, I was presented with a Server error 500 : “The website encountered an error while retriving http://xxxxxxxx/fog/management/index.php”

Any out-of-the-gate ideas/quick remedies?

Well, went back to the drawing board. Created a new VirtualBox server running Ubuntu 10.04 and installed Fog 0.32. Having run the install again, I realized that I had to have deviated from the standard installation instructions at least twice over username/password instances. Noting this, I did a trial run and was able to successfully do everything PXE-related (Memtest, Register, etc.). I followed the instructions for Uploading an image and was able to do so on the 1st try.

With this success in hand, I went back to the physical server and removed Fog following the instructions here:
[url]http://www.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Uninstall_FOG[/url]

Reinstalled Fog on physical server and voila! Happy image uploading.

Tom,

thanks for the quick response. I checked the /tftpboot directory and there are two MAC address entries. FTP is running and I was able to log in. I reset the fog user password and made appropriate changes in
Storage Management->All Storage Nodes-><YOUR STORAGE NODE>->Management Username/Password
and
Other Information ( ? ) Icon->FOG Settings->FOG_TFTP_FTP_PASSWORD

Rebooted the PC, no joy.

Thanks & Regards!

Okay, let me preface this by stating that I’ve been working on this FOG project on and off for about two weeks now. I’ve managed my way through a few issues by utilizing good ol’ Google and troubleshooting skills. However, I REALLY need this thing to work… like now… as I’m getting a batch of 20 new PCs coming in this week (and I’d REALLY like to not have to set each one up independently).

So… I have an Ubuntu server, running 10.04.04 LTS (Lucid), hosting DHCP, PXE and FOG (v0.32) services. I have another Ubuntu server running 12.04 LTS running DNS, SAMBA and CUPS (not that it’s really relevant to my problem). I have attempted to upload an image to FOG from both a virtual PC (using VirtualBox) and physical PC (Dell OptiPlex 3020). In both cases, I’m able to pull up the PXE menu on the target PCs, I’m able to Perform Full Host Registration and Inventory successfully (and visibly confirm this success through the FOG web GUI), able to schedule the task successfully, but I’m NOT able to successfully upload an image. I go to the target PC, reboot into PXE and I just get the standard menu. No imaging takes place.

EDIT:
Virtual PC running XP 32bit, Dell OptiPlex 3020 running Win7 Pro 64bit.

TL;DR version… Ubuntu/FOG can’t upload image.
WTB help.
