@Wayne-Workman perfect chance to ask - will updateip tool, or makefogmobile both work on storage nodes as well?

@p4cm4n the reason ended up being that in config.class.php the page still had database_host as the old IP address
my thanks go out to sebastian who helped me out with this

@Sebastian-Roth only reason i did that was because i wasn’t on site.
sorry though, wasn’t available because someone in my company decided to do some vlan changing without letting anyone know/testing.
i’ll be available whenever probably, i’ll check in.

@Sebastian-Roth i’m more than willing to troubleshoot - didn’t want to waste your guy’s time.
considering I will be going through this exact process (maybe with less than 5 storage nodes per site however) about 12 times at the different schools i will be maintaining, i’m all for fixing.
i have opened up both SSH and web gui to the outside, and am available to be pointed in whichever direction.
further troubleshooting from me, i pulled up chrome inspector on the site locally and saw that scripts were taking a long time, along with something else which i forget at the moment.

@Wayne-Workman never before. i’ll check it out - thanks.

the makefogmobile project would help me out probably too (for little one and done labs here and there)
Thanks for that!

i’ll see if it helps my current issue. if not i’ll just reinstall them all.

@Sebastian-Roth it seems very similar to this
https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/11581/slow-webinterface-after-update-to-1-5-0

all are 1.5.4 though, only installed 5 days ago, registered 3 clients and captured 3 images.

the errors i did see seem to be with children processes. i’m not sure what it was set to before the install, but its now 5. i bumped it to 35 per george’s comments in another thread about the issue i was getting (fastcgi header)
what made it jump so low? its running on an older machine, but not that bad (core2 t8300, 2GB on debian w/xfce)

altogether though, it didnt resolve anything. i changed that, checked again and about 120 seconds or so the page pulled up. ive been continually checking both error logs and the access logs but nothing is showing in either errors now since i fixed that, put my original .fogsettings back (i tried passwords and things last night) and reran installer, and just to be sure rechecked the children processes again.

also i noticed if i just go to the apache pages, they’re instantaneous. don’t know if that helps…as soon as i clock the folder fog, is when it slows down.

edit: okay, so now i’ve noticed that if i go to a page, settings for example itll take a while to get there, but if i go to sub pages, they’re normal-ish speed. same with storage - i clicked on it to change IP’s and navigating through those pages, and saving settings were fine also.

so i changed the ip from 10.10.11.151 (dhcp) to 10.10.8.80 (static). rebooted. changed ip in .fogsettings. to new ip, ran installer. went to fogserver/fog - page loads. logged in…and nothing. just times out after a while. management page and everything beyond it all acts the same, loading…

i’ve moved them before but not these ones - these were fresh installs, the server master had 5 storage nodes below it. the one storage node i reinstalled pulls up white screen to ‘database connection unavailable’
what log/where can i find whats happening?

edit:: while i wrote this, the page pulled up to dashboard. however it still takes forever to load it, i hit refresh and its still going (3 minutes and counting)

@dylan123 it completes, and goes through its normal completion process. it looks exactly as any other machine i’ve imaged actually, boots up the same, except for throwing a few more ACPI errors after booting the kernel.
it brings up the same imaging window, 500gb HDD, 37GB in use, finishes as it should, updates database, restarts.

@JGallo slave node, do you mean a full install of fog? or a storage node install?
i can’t probably help you but i’m curious as to how you have it.
