I suggest that you do a reinstall of fog.  It should just overwrite the
files that were already installed and install the things that didn't
get put in properly.  Caveat: I didn't look at the install script.

If that fails, things become more problematic.  Because this isn't
being installed as a package, you can't just say  yum remove fog  and
voila, it is gone.  You could check whether fog has its own uninstall
command on the fog website.  You could try removing all the files fog
installed by hand.   You would do that by looking in the install
script with an editor and seeing where it put the files.  But if it
comes to that, it might be easier to just reinstall Fedora, and do the
installation of fog again from scratch. After all, you're an old hand
at that now. ;-)

PS
When you ask for help with a problem on a mailing list, it is very good
to post the actual error text if you can, or at least the approximate
error message you received.  Errors can be different, and without
knowing what the symptom is, it is hard to make a diagnosis.  No one
here knows anything about your problem except what you tell us.

PPS
A brief overview of list posting etiquette. Top posting and not
trimming your posts are considered poor etiquette for mailing lists.
You'll see them here, but consider it the equivalent of picking your
nose or farting in public or going to a social function with bad BO.
Well, maybe not *that* bad.  :-D  The actual rules are in a link at the
bottom of each message. I know, I know, you just want to solve your
problem and get on with your life, and reading that takes precious time
you don't have. Just following the above two rules will capture the
essence and you can save the reading for a time when you have
insomnia.  :-)
