Hello, I stood up a new build of FOG to cutover my current build of 1.5.9.xxx to as a hot standby on a new host. The app deploys just fine, but normally there is a .fogsettings in /opt/fog/ and thats not there on the latest build. The app is up i could log into it to create the local user. I was about to configure ldap settings, and i wanted to load the sql settings from my 1.5.9 server into 1.5.10. but not sure how to find out the default sql password to get into it. The documentation for 1.5.10 said it should be there as well. (bottom of page)

There for sure should be that file on a new server.
What distro are you using?

This seems extremely unlikely.

Now, when you say 1.5.10 isn't building the fogsettings file, I don't disbelieve that's it happening to you, but rather that it's happening to "everybody".

While it is an "issue" for you, if this were a common issue, we'd havve certainly heard of it by now as 1.5.10 was released March of 2023.

Now if you're using a newer relase, say 1.5.10.41 and above, maybe there's a problem with the code, but again I think we'd have heard of it by now.

There are certain cases where the fogsettings file will not be generated.

Typically those are:

  • Errors out during initial installation.
  • Installation not completed all the way through.

The fixes to either of these are almost always to rerun the installer and watch what's happening carefully along the way.
