@george1421 Thanks all sorted!

Hi there folks!

Have our fog server running on Windows 10 via Virtual Box (ubuntu) for several months now, with no issues. However, all of a sudden I am getting “Database connection unavailable” message when I attempt to log into the fog admin interface. Hence cannot image machines either.

I have several snapshots taken as backup measures but even I I restore to these the same thing happens?

Does anyone know why this is happening?

Many thanks

@george1421 Thank you thank you!!! that worked you are a legend mate ! Its all running!

@Sebastian-Roth I have tried restart dnsmasq but get the following error" Job for dnsmasq. service failed because the control process exited with errror code. See "systemctl status dnsmasq.service and “journalctl - xe” for details.

@Sebastian-Roth Thank you

@Tom-Elliott Would I be better off just installing DNSMasq?

@steharv

@Tom-Elliott I cannot see any settings in my router for that?

@Tom-Elliott So editing the fogsettings file and rerun the installer? Can I edit the file via FTP?

@Tom-Elliott Hi Tom, I reinstalled FOG from scratch, I set the FOG server IP to 192.168.1.248 and then DHCP and DNS server the same IP but it still tries to look for 192.168.1.1 when it boots?

@Tom-Elliott Router is just set to default DHCP setting which is on and when installing FOG I answered yes to use FOG as DHCP server. No storage nodes, I can just reinstall FOG as can go back to a preinstall snapshot on VB.

@Tom-Elliott

Attached is my default ISP router, just wondered if anything here is interferring?

@Tom-Elliott Hi Tom, Thanks for the reply back. My router IP address ranges is from 192.168.100 to 192.168.1.250 -

I have set Ubuntu to fixed IP address of 192.168.1.249 which is set up as the FOG IP address, DNS and DHCP server is set to 192.168.1.1

@steharv Its the same error, however its intermittent and does not happen everytime, sometimes it boots straight up to the FOG menu.

@Sebastian-Roth

I have installed latest FOG imaging server on both Virtual BOX and standalone server, however I am running into issues when trying to PXE boot client machines.

It sometimes boots to the PXE menu and everything is fine but then when I try to run it again on same machine I get a connection time out error. I am using DHCP and DNS from the FOG service.

I have tried different kernels and the same thing happens.
