Awesome. That makes me feel better.

As a security buff, that kinda bothers me. So, I can't delete the "username: fog password: password" account... Can I change it's password?

I got it! Thanks for the support, everyone. I did a full uninstall/reinstall. When I went to edit the /var/www/fog/commons/config.php file, I think I accidentally entered in the password in the define( "DB_PASSWORD", MYSQL_PASSWORD ); Then when I tried by making the fog db, it screwed everything up. On an aside, is it okay to delete the default user now that it's installed and I created a user or is that a no-no? I know some programs rely on the default user they create... and I just got this working; I don't want to break it already.

Okay. I put a .htaccess file in the /var/www directory and one in the /var/www/fog directory (as well as one in the /opt/fog directory). No errors were thrown on the website. I'm including the error.log as a text file: error.txt. Hopefully this will help in some way. A gist of it is that a lot of stuff seems to just not exist... nor does it seem to get made when I install following the directions in the wiki.

Okay... that may be part of the problem. I access 192.168.1.4/fog/management with the white screen... and there's nothing in the page source. Okay. Good cause of the problem... now, a solution.... Please?

Okay. I forgot to turn on the server before I left the house so I can't post all of the information or make any of the changes at the moment, but I can address some questions/suggestions. This machine is technically a Kubuntu 10.10 machine. I created an empty database named fog. I'm going to see what happens when I delete the database (which may be making part of the issue). Any errors that are presented will be posted here. Should nothing occur, I'll recreate the fog database. I may even try to get a clean fog database and see what is in the database. When I get home, I'll also make the .htaccess file. I'll check the HTML of the page to make sure everything's present and accounted for.

Okay, I started with a blank-white screen. MySQL and Fog were both set to use a username of root with no password. I replaced the password on the mysql root accounts (127.0.0.1 and localhost). It now gives me the "Unable to connect to Database Msg: Failed to connect to server: localhost Server returned: Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)" error. I go into /var/www/fog/commons/config.php and /opt/fog/service/etc/config.php and set the password (for the sake of testing, it is currently "password"). It returns to an only-white screen. Having used Fog before, I know it's a valuable piece of software when up and running. As wiping this machine... not possible. As well, I don't currently have another that isn't in use. As for the aforementioned line about it being a storage node... that line of code is not present.

Does anyone have a clean install of Fog that I could get a copy of? I can edit the necessary file lines.... I just have a feeling that something is wrong.

Morgan: I'm not behind a proxy nor am I using it as one. Bart: Normal. Is Fog supposed to make a fog database during its installation? I read a config file and it said that it needed a database named fog... Yet there was none.

I was hoping for a solution that was more direct in case that fails. As I said, there was no fog database made.

I figured it was about time I try out Fog, so I tossed it on my 'buntu box. I didn't realize that I had an SQL issue going on. I was getting the error when trying to log into my fog server (192.168.1.4). I read somewhere that I needed to go in and remove the passwords for my root SQL accounts. Having done that, the error is gone... but the problem persists. Now, however, I'm left with a white screen. Come to find out, my installation of fog isn't making any databases right off the bat... All it's doing is installing (supposedly with success) and turning on my services. I have no idea where to start or what I'm missing (if anything). So... any help would be appreciated.
