Fog installations woes :(

[kevbaz]

/Hi folks

Ive been trying to setup and test Fog to see whether it would be a suitable replacement to what we currently use for imaging (ghost) how ever i have thus far been unable to get it to install.

I have installed Fedora and have followed the install instructions to the latter but when it comes to installing fog i get the following...

Installation Started...

this happens every time, php seemingly will not install so fog wont.

I had simelar problems using fedora when I first tried setting Fog up. I switched to using Ubuntu to host it on intead and it installed first time on there.

run the following commands as the root user -
yum install php
yum install php-mysql
yum install php-gd
yum install php-cli

then run the fog installer.

apt-get install php-cli

Obviously its ISA thats blocking it, however when i browse to the url via firefox it opens fine as i was asked to authenticate when i opened firefox the first time, however going through the terminal doesnt, is there anyway to resolve this?

[kevbaz]

try -
apt-get install php
apt-get install php-mysql
apt-get install php-gd
apt-get install php-cli

not sure if im doing it right?

[root@fogserver ~]# apt-get install php
bash: apt-get: command not found

apt-get is the ubuntu packages installer

have you set the proxy for yum?

the easiest way to do this is:

http_proxy=http://your.proxy.tld:port
export http_proxy

then use yum as normal

[clarky2k3]

Do you have your DNS servers listed in /etc/resolv.conf ?

Sorry, yes apt is the debian based updater!

Tried that and it made no difference

Do you have your DNS servers listed in /etc/resolv.conf ?

can you give me an example of what this config should resemble?



thanks for the help so far guys very much appreciated, please bare with me, like i said im new to linux and still finding my way about.

cheers

[Arcath]

how have you set your IP?

is it still set to DHCP?

/etc/resolv.conf should contain the IP of the DNS Servers on your network

[webman]

Apparently, if you need to authenticate, you need to use this format:

http_proxy=http://user:pass@proxy.example.com:8080
export http_proxy
