@Tom-Elliott Hi Tom, I just found that if I run “sudo service MySQL restart”, FOG starts working again
MySQL must not be starting properly on boot. I have FOG 1.2.0 on Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS.

Thanks,

Tony

Hi,

Just rebooted my new FOG server and it has stopped working. It worked initially and I was able to image some machines. However, after rebooting, when I log into FOG, it says the database/schema needs updated, when I select to update, it reports multiple sql errors.

Cheers,

Tony

@Tom-Elliott Have re-installed everything from scratch, it is now working, settings saving as expected
Thankyou all for your help.

Tony

@Tom-Elliott Thanks Tom, I downloaded the latest FOG software from Sourceforge and tried to install. It terminated with “Setting up and starting MySql - Failed” Fog still works and reports version 5082. I’m at a loss with this. Should I start from scratch and re-build Ubuntu ?

Hi Sebastian, thanks for the reply.
I am running FOG 1.2.0 (5082) on UBUNTU 14.04 LTS. I’m new to FOG & Linux, from a Windows background and previously used Altiris for imaging WIndows machines. I am able to upload and download images successfully with FOG, it is just the settings which are the problem at the moment. Contents of Apache error log is as follows:

HI,

I am trying to change the default boot device and timeout value for PXE boot, but the settings keep reverting to the current and changes are not applied. Computers are all defaulting to MEM test and timeout value is 3 seconds. Menu says it is updating, but it isn’t.

Thanks for any advice

Tony
