Install/Update

If you would like to backup your FOG database you can do so using MySQL Administrator or by running the following command in a terminal window (Applications->System Tools->Terminal), this will save the backup in your home directory.
mysqldump --allow-keywords -x -v fog > fogbackup.sql
Your FOG database schema is not up to date, either because you have updated or this is a new FOG installation. If this is an upgrade, there will be a database backup stored on your FOG server defaulting under the folder /home/fogDBbackups. Should anything go wrong, this backup will enable you to return to the previous install if needed.

Are you sure you wish to install or update the FOG database?

Log in as a FOG administrator to apply this update.

Database not available

Your database connection appears to be invalid. FOG is unable to communicate with the database. There are many reasons why this could be the case. Please check your credentials in /var/www/html/fog/lib/fog/config.class.php. Also confirm that the database is indeed running. If credentials are correct, and if the Database service is running, check to ensure your filesystem has enough space.
