FOG installer hangs on "Creating SSL Private Key"

[LifeIsALesson]

Hi, thanks for this awesome project! I'm new to FOG. I'm trying to install FOG in a Ubuntu 20.04 LTS VM. My install hangs at "Creating SSL Private Key". Last lines from the install log:

# until this position everything seems fine:
Synchronizing state of php7.4-fpm.service with SysV service script with /lib/systemd/systemd-sysv-install.

Any advice how to handle this is highly appreciated.

@LifeIsALesson Take a look at this topics in the forums: https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/15733/installer-issue-interface-ipadress-related-reopend and https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/15729/installer-issue-interface-ipadress-related

Most probably you have a simular situation with a special IP configuration. Run ip addr show and post results here. The FOG installer does not support setups with a secondary IP on the interface so far.

Please ignore and close this one. The issue was caused by some off network interface config after switching from DHCP to statically assigned IP.
