So, I would had to do the copying during install? Or did I miss that opportunity since I have already got the new server set up and ready?

RE: Fog 1.2.0 Images and Data Exporting
Just realized, I guess I could research MySql and try to export it from there…

Fog 1.2.0 Images and Data Exporting
Hello,
We use Fog 1.2.0 but due to new hardware coming in I have put together Fog Trunk version onto Ubuntu 16.04.
Running Version 8609
SVN Revision: 5909Here is the brick wall thus far:
I have the new trunk server up and running but I need the image database information from the old 1.2.0 added to the new server. Is it possible to export that into CSV in order to import it into the new Fog server so I will not have to rebuild the information for each image? Or, is it recommended to create it all by hand in the trunk version?
I noticed the import/export feature in the trunk version which is nice but the 1.2.0, unfortunately, does not have it that I can see.
Thanks in advance.

RE: Fog Trunk Install - Database Problem?
Sebasitan, you did it! Thanks x20. Bookmarked for future reference.

RE: Fog Trunk Install - Database Problem?
I installed version 8140.
In the php file it shows the type as ‘mysql’, host is local 127.0.0.1, then fog as the name, and root then the blank password for root. This looks correct to me…

Fog Trunk Install - Database Problem?
I’ve installed Fog Trunk version and when I access the web UI I get the below message:
Database Schema Installer / Updater
Your database connection appears to be invalid. FOG is unable to communicate with the database. There are many reasons why this could be the case. Please check your credentials in /var/www/html/fog/lib/fog/config.class.php. Also confirm that the database is indeed running. If credentials are correct, and the Database service is running, check to ensure your filesystem has enough space.
The SQL password is blank. Would that cause a problem?

RE: Upgrading - From Fog 1.2.0 to Trunk - Possible?
Guys,
I went ahead and pulled down the 4.1 kernel and tossed it at the E5570 for now and it is working (can’t afford to spin wheels too long since people are waiting to image these laptops) which is great but I do plan on upgrading Ubuntu from 12.04 to 16 and then Fog over to Trunk version.
Strangely, when trying to download the 4.1 kernel and save it as the default it would never work so I had to rename it to E5570 then it downloaded and worked — that’s odd.
Anyways, thanks for the help everyone! Knowledge is power.

I totally agree and might just end up doing that. I think I am going to attempt to upgrade the kernel for these new Dell laptops just to get the imaging going and then circle back with the trunk upgrade later.

That makes sense but It’s not Ubuntu 16 though, it is Ubuntu 12.04. Does that make a difference?
Thanks for your assistance.

Why delete the .fogsettings file?

@Wayne-Workman said in Upgrading - From Fog 1.2.0 to Trunk - Possible?:
Ubuntu 16 works just fine. There are literally only two extra tiny steps.
Wayne,
Did you have trouble with the package libapache2-mod-php5 installing with your Ubuntu?

RE: Upgrading - From Fog 1.2.0 to Trunk - Possible?
Well, turns out that our Fog main server is using Ubuntu 12.04. I ran the install per instructions in the below link and all goes well until the last line “Installing package: libapache2-mod-php5…Failed!”
I researched this some earlier today after it happened to my test server but was unable to resolve.
After this, the web page no longer displays and is broken.

Thanks-a-million for the in-depth response, george1421, I definitely feel more confident in moving forward with the upgrade now.

Upgrading - From Fog 1.2.0 to Trunk - Possible?
At work we use Fog 1.2.0 to push out images and it is great. I am the main technician that troubleshoots issues and does the upgrades with Fog and just recently we got some Dell Latitude 5570 laptops in and thus far they will not check into Fog so I’m guessing I need to update the kernel for Fog for updated drivers. So here are some questions I would like to toss out there:
-
When hardware is not compatible, such as the Latitude 5570, does one upgrade the kernel (RedHat) for the OS or perform an upgrade from Fog 1.2.0 to Trunk (Trunk includes latest kernel?)
-
Can you upgrade from 1.2.0 directly to trunk or is a fresh install required?
-
If I upgrade from 1.2.0 to trunk then will the upgrade affect the database or images at all?
I attempted to upgrade Fog with a test Fog server sitting on Ubuntu but I ran into some package install issue with php5 I believe. Therefore, our main server is RedHat so I’m hoping that goes better.
Thanks in advance!
