Tom, sorry if this confused you. The initial set up was already tested on local (Ubuntu 13.10 VM) and was working. nothing really has changed besides putting the master Node on a freenas (with FTP & NFS) and giving full control of the loaction to the fog user (which was put as the user to use in the node management on the GUI)

Since then, everything is still working fine, comunication between Fog and the node is fine, image uploads are going to the dev folder then after upload is finished it’s being transfered to the main /images folder. the ONLY issue is whenever we try to proceed a download from the host management page, it fails automatically giving out the error I posted above. BUT using the quick download from the host list in task management works.

Do you need more information?

Yes the node was set to master already. Also I changed the node from the windows 2003 server to a freenas server.

Nope! definitely we need to look at something else. Same error. Something changed though, no more errors after upload to change file name as I was getting before. Before after upload I would get those errors but image would still be moved from dev to /images after. Now it moves and no errors show up.

BUT the download error coming from the link in Host management still is a no go. FTP is enabled, user has full control and is even owner of the /images folder as well as its parent.

Ok I changed the node location to another server we have NFS and FTP setup already. Im uploading the image and will test the download after.

Stay tuned for the update!

ps: sorry for all those questions -_-

haha sorry about that

FOG-server and DB are sitting on a Ubuntu 13.10 VM.
Image node is on an NFS share sitting on a Windows 2003 server (will be upgraded to 2008 R2 or 2012R2 soon enough)

Basically I just want to get rid of that error message when doing the download from the basic tasks.

So do I need to create an FTP on my ftp server using Fog’s credential pointing to the node? how exactly is FTP connection will work on a machine or folder location that is not sitting in FTP?

We do not use an FTP. This node is sitting in an NFS drive. Is the FTP check something new? it wasn’t giving me the error in version 0.32.

Which then makes it a weird bug… here’s some pictures, one of the error message when using the download option in the basic tasks, the other one after clicking on the download arrow from the hosts list.

Sorry I meant the task management. Let me put it clearer sorry

What’s not working:

When looking to a host configuration and clicking on basic tasks, you cannot perform a download from there. It pops up an error message saying there needs to be an image uploaded first (which there is already one). No scans no look nothing its instant as if no connection between this option and the database was made.

What is working:

When going to either Host management OR Task management under search host or list all hosts and clicking on the deploy arrow. This creates the download task and is ready to go.

In other words, it is not the whole download/deploy option that is broken, it is just that link under basic tasks in the host configuration page.

Update on the issue. It seems to only happen from the basic tasks menu on hosts. If I go directly to active tasks menu and create a download there it will work. But on host basic task download menu its a no go. And it is not even thinking about it it just sends me the error in half a second.

Yes size on client and size on server are both displayed

I’m happy to say after a good week-end of not doing any IT work came in this morning, flushed all, reinstalled and now everything is fine. I just came up with one little mistake though that you might be able to clear out. I just finished uploading a windows 7 image as a test upload to make sure the nodes were correctly configured, and the image has been successfully placed in the right server, but now I’m testing the download for deployment and it gives out an error stating it cannot be downloaded, saying I first need to upload an image.

I reapplied the test image to the host in the settings but no go. Is there a small step I forgot to do here?

EDIT: image format is

Windows 7
[SIZE=2]Multiple Partition Image - Single Disk (Not Resizable)[/SIZE]

hahaha I want to cry now -_-… I reinstalled FOG on a cleaned up Ubuntu 13.10 box… but after installation… no web GUI has been set up… there is nothing in the www folder… did I miss something there? XD

I uninstalled everything Ill try again using wolfbanes link.

Im sure Ill figure out what Im doing wrong... dont know how long it will take me but I`ll find out

And I can`t uninstall it? what the hell… I really feel like an idiot now, trying to follow the tutos on your websites but any files they tell me to modify delete edit copy whatever you like… doesn’t exist.

How old are those tutorials?

and even the node isn’t working… can’t connect. Is there anything else to do besides pointing towards it and providing it with the user/password who has full access to that share? maybe a specific syntax…

well now its becoming more complex than I first expected… I probably failed the DHCP settings during installation and chose FOG to act as one instead of using mine because PXE boot isn’t working, even though I modified my DHCP server settings… jesus, I`ll have to start all over again -_-

then I am lost, I wasn’t the one who configured the first FOG server couple years ago… how can I redirect this new 1.2 server for its images to be uploaded to a remote windows server with NFS share?

They are both VMs ;).

Let me specify, Im looking for the config.php file to modify the image upload location, it does not show up in the newest installation. Is it called something else? as per [URL=‘http://www.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Change_NFS_location’][U][COLOR=#0066cc]http://www.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Change_NFS_location[/COLOR][/U][/URL], it should show up in var/www/fog/commons/config.php… but it isn’t.

hmm sounds like it would be preferable to simply point my new server to the NFS shared already there, get rid of the old image and get in new ones.

Can you tell me how to relocate the default image upload location in 1.2?
