Now how do I mark it as solved?

Success!
Thanks Quazz. I was able to get it going with that documentation. For anyone coming afterwards here were my steps.

• Found that there was no fog user in MYSQL (at least it would not let me drop it)
• Created fog user with a blank password
• Granted permissions to fog db for fog user
• Realized that I had set a root password on mysql
• Found the password in /var/www/fog/lib/fog/Config.class.php
• Copied it over to the proper place in /opt/fog/.fogsettings
• Ran dpkg-reconfigure mysql-server-5.5
• Finally re-ran installfog.sh

I now have a GUI back and am able to image computers.

The forums do not seem to allow me to upload a text file, so I had to do this in a series of screenshots. I went through the log (didn’t know that one existed, so thanks), and took a screenshot of anything that errored. I see a couple things that could cause problems, seems like a wrong pass or lack of pass in one section, also complains about not having the PHP module for Apache, although PHP is running later in the log.

Hi Wayne,
Thanks for the reply. I have used that page as a reference before. Were you referring to the clone directory at /root/fogproject? Or did you mean deleting the www directory info? I deleted the fogproject directory re-cloned with git, and re-ran installfog.sh, but with the same results. The only thing that appears to fail during the setup was backing up the database. See screenshot.

Should I try deleting the web directory? Or is it possible since I attempted to manually install Fog that there is another directory somewhere that is overriding this one?

Thanks.

Description

I’m not sure whether this should be here or in the dev forum. Please correct me if I’m wrong.

I ran “sudo apt-get update” and “sudo apt-get upgrade” on the server. Then I tried to update by manually downloading 1.4.0 (stable) and running install.sh, but this gave me a blank white screen when trying to load the GUI. I then remembered that I had used GIT and the dev branch prior to this to get some things working with Windows 10. I then pulled the latest dev branch and ran install.sh again. This gave me pretty much the same results, blank screen (redirecting to ?node=schema but missing index.php). A couple reboots, Ubuntu updates, and google searches later I’m worried I’ve totally screwed it up and will need to start fresh. I can recreate the images if I need to, but obviously it would be nice if I could revive this one and not have to start from fresh.

My apache log is giving a PHP error, so maybe there is hope?
