[fog] FOG problem

[Darryl_Wilcox]

For the proxy, what if you don't have to use a username and password to get through it? I haven't been prompted for a username and password is just comes up with *Checking package: apache2 ... failed!

Hi Guys

Im new to this Forum and this is my first post.

 

Im trying to Install FOG and I am getting this error as well "Apache2 Failed"

 

Looking at the previouse threads it sounds like it maybe to do with proxy settings? My internet only works with a proxy settings, turning the proxy off will not work for me. Is there anyway round this. Im desperate to get this working....

 

Any help will be Appreciated.

 

Thanks

I have managed to sort this out now. I took the server to another place of work which doesnt require Proxy settings and installed FOG there.

All works fine now.

You can set proxy settings in your /etc/environment file on your Linux server (on Ubuntu anyway), along the lines of:

 

http_proxy="http://username:password@host:port/"
https_proxy="http://username:password@host:port/"

 

Which works fine for most proxies. However, if your proxy uses NTLM authentication, rather than a username/password passed explicitly, then you'll need to use something like NTLMAPS to authenticate for you. You then set the host:port in the proxy settings to the IP:Port of the box running NTLMAPS (the port defaults to 5865)

Going back to the original problem, I am running on the latest server of Kubuntu (as of 19/9/2011) and am trying to do FOG. I make it through everything, but as mentioned, Apache2 fails. I can't do sudo apt-get install either, this is the error message I get:

sudo apt-get install firefox //as a test\\

Reading package lists... Error!

E: Encountered a section with no Package: header

E: Problem with MergeList /var/lib/apt/lists.us.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_natty_main_binary-i386_Packages

E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.

 

Help, please?

HI

 

I had the same problem. I resolved it by using a non proxyed internet connection.

Sudo apt-get doesnt work if the server is sitting behind a internet proxy server.

 

Hope this helps.

apt-get works if you tell it about the proxy. We're behind embc so /etc/apt/apt.conf contains this (only) -

 

Acquire::http::proxy "http://proxy.embc.uk.com:80/";

Acquire::ftp::proxy "ftp://proxy.embc.uk.com:80/";

Acquire::https::proxy "https://proxy.embc.uk.com:80/";
