This doesn't happen to everybody and as such is an edge case though easily fixed:
Please set the webdirdest and tftpdirdest variables in your /opt/fog/.fogsettings
file:
webdirdest is usually, on Debian at least:
/var/www/html
tftpdirdst is usually:
/tftpboot
Thank you
Oh no I am a fool. Sorry and thanks for your quick reply.
I looked again on my .fogsettings and my osid had an extra character at the end. osid='2'g I swear, I really don't know what happened here. But with that, the config.sh from Ubuntu directory wasn't load. I will try again on Friday morning when I am back to office. I will close this right after the update.
Chris
okay, thank you Tom. we can revert this issue. all of this was my fault because of my .fogsettings.
But i have to reinstall the fog-client on all of the clients. after upgrading to the latest stable the fog-clients in version 12 couldn't established secure channel.
Middleware::Authentication Waiting for authentication timeout to pass
Middleware::Communication Download: https://192.168.1.10/fog/management/other/ssl/srvpublic.crt
Middleware::Communication ERROR: Could not download file
Middleware::Communication ERROR: The request was aborted: Could not create SSL/TLS secure channel.
is this normal?
Chris
If you're still on the same server and your cert is all the same and what not, then you may be able to just reset the host encryption on all hosts and they'll connect after a service restart. If your cert was updated/recreated in the update process, then reinstalling the clients is the easiest option
Okay thanks for explaining. I am on the same server. The certificates are recreated in the update process. The certificates from the webroot directory. Shouldn't the certificates recreated? I thought that's normal, and the script do it on every execution.
They might have been as part of 1.5.9->1.5.10 but I'm not sure. They typically aren't recreated every time you run the installer unless you use the arguments to enforce that
-C --recreate-CA Recreate the CA Keys
-K --recreate-keys Recreate the SSL Keys
(see also https://docs.fogproject.org/en/latest/command-line-options)
okay i have some more information. I looked in the foginstall.log and checked the Certificates creation date on the hdd. First, i haven't forced recreating the certificates.

the CA certificate isnt recreated. you can see above the date. Only the ca.cnf and .fogCA.srl are recreated. so nothing changed, but the fog-client was not able to connect with our fog-server. Resetting the host encryption data didnt helped either.
i had to reinstall the fog-client on all the host. i could not getting back to service. maybe its known issue like here?! https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/16160/fog-client-unable-to-connect-via-https
edit: the puplic certificate from the apache server is recreated.

could this be the problem?

@ChrisChoke Yes that would be the problem and pretty much requires a reinstall of the fogservice, at least that's the easiest answer in that case.
The fog client downloads that public cert from /var/www/html/fog//management/other/ssl/srvpublic.crt
aka https://{your-fog-server}/fog//management/other/ssl/srvpublic.crt
But if the service has already downloaded a previous version of the cert (stored in "C:\Program Files (x86)\FOG\tmp\public.cer"
)
If the CA is really the same, and matches the CA cert the client has stored at "C:\Program Files (x86)\FOG\ca.cert.der"
then deleting the public.cer file, resetting host encryption, and resetting the service may also do the trick. Maybe even just deleting the public.cer file and then maybe restarting the service.
You could also go to https://192.168.1.10/fog/management/other/ssl/srvpublic.crt and see if you can access that page it's trying to update the cert from. If you don't see certificate text or a download of the cert from that page, then there's a different problem.
That forum post is also an old post with an older version of the client, that issue is fixed, the client works fine with http or https.

Additional context
https://github.com/FOGProject/fogproject/blob/24bb5a62698b9ba5bd4d80296be8615105c9a810/lib/common/functions.sh#L1043-L1051
The script exited here because if i run the script the variables $webdirdest and $tftpdirdst are empty. So in my opinion the case condition pattern will be like this:
i think because of this, the bash interpreter means it is the default conditions pattern to catch everthing. I havent looked deeper why the variables are empty. what i can say is the variables are not empty if i have not a .fogsettings file. so on "fresh" install it works and on upgrade it do not. Don't know why i am the only one who have trouble with it.
i dont know what the asterisks beside the $webdirdest and $tftpdirdst means in the case pattern, but i very often prefixes variables in conditions with an underscore to prevent a condition check to an empty variable which ends in an syntax error.
the second problem on upgrade is the packagelist in the .fogsettings file. If i do an OS update as well, the fog installer will use this list again. that do not work as well, because on debian 12 there are no php7.3 packages and it hangs on "mariadb" package after the "m4" package. Then yo have to quit manually with ctrl-C. i think we should update the packagelist always we run the script based on the OS Version.
hope this information is useful for us. i could try to figure out what the problem is. But i dont know how much time i need to dig through the bash code :-)
best regards Chris
