SITD,

I could tell we had a language barrier.
From what you have stated the apache web server portion of your fog server is working fine.
I am going to share a document with you that I created doing Fog builds.

I am not sure with English not being your primary language if it will help at all.
Keep us posted and we will keep doing our best to help you get this project done.

Hi
I get the same with a Lenovo X240…

also tried it with [URL=‘https://mastacontrola.com/fogboot/kernel/bzImage’]https://mastacontrola.com/fogboot/kernel/bzImage [/URL]
[URL=‘https://mastacontrola.com/fogboot/kernel/bzImage’]which gives two lines then hangs[/URL]

thanks

Like Tom said, recovery of the computer inventory is not really a FOG issue, but more of a mysql recovery issue. You’ll need to look on the mysql documentation for how to recover a database from the files. The method depends on which storage engine the database was using. You can probably look at your current database and assume the old one was using the same engine (InnoDB, MyISAM, etc).

after you add a root password to mysql, read the wiki article on updating FOG to use the new password when accessing the database, otherwise FOG may quit working until you update the config files.

AWESOME! Glad you got it working 🙂

Well I used gedit to edit the file as root ofcourse, and was in the settings area in gui… somewhere there it decided a couple of times to change the content of the file. Perhaps it would be nice if one could add the files in the gui instead… But what do you recommend should one rather use ftp klient to transfer the files or is it just a matter of know how and being sure what one is doing? 😉
The one page might have come when I changed the masterpassword… the field bellow the timeout for the boot menu.

🙂 Congratulations, keymap is well loaded !
Thanks again !

Tom El. Thanks for fast reply. the problem is solved by Sign-In to Ubuntu user fog account. and using WUI. I usually used the firefox browser.

For other peoples: may help firefox problem to open the WUI so, from the firefox option -->content–>untick Block Pop-up windows And —>network–>automatic proxy detection

Tom,
I followed your advice. I was able to get ‘PrimaryUser’ label on the Host list but I do not know enough about PHP. I inserted sql in there but stiil could not get data from inventory table. I am learning php, I hope that will help.
Thank you,
Newbie

Thanks but i can’t understand nothing, i look at youtube i read on forum, i made step by step … and when i try to install windows from fog it dosen’t work, i can’t understand what i make wrong.

I have a PC with ubuntu+fog, i put network cable in fog server and then in host PC, without internet connection with no router’s, switches smth pc+cable network to other pc+cable network simple… but it dosen’t work.
I login on Fog i try to register host but my Host PC can’t see dchp boot from FOG.
I need to configure dchp? or to add range ip’s ? … i see in tutorials they don’t make this it’s automatic dchp in fog at install.

PS: i want a standalone server, not part of any other network.

Anyway i don’t want to bother no one with my stupidity.
Thanks anyway for everything.

[quote=“David Durr, post: 20805, member: 17319”]Folks,

I have set up three fog nodes on separate subnets. The master is on subnet A with storage nodes on subnets B and C. All of them work. Images are being replicated and clients on each subnet boot from the local pxe server and images get installed.

However, I am noticing that sometimes clients on subnet C are installing images from the nodes on subnets A or B. I started a client image from subnet C this morning and it pulled its image from the node on subnet C. When I started a second client image on subnet C, it was pulling an image from the node on subnet A.

Perhaps this is a load balancing mechanism, but this is causing problems because the WAN connection subnet C and the other two subnets is slow. I need clients on subnet C to install images from the node on subnet C.

I imagined that all clients on subnet B would install images from the node on subnet B, all clients on subnet A would install images from the node on subnet A and so on.

Is this not the case or do I have something else going on?

Thanks for any help.[/quote]

BryceZ answered this. His solution has fixed my problem:

Without using the location patch, you can set FOG up to do what you want, but it gets a little ugly… Using one master Storage Group you add your remote Node to it, and create your master image pointing to the master Group, this way FOGSync will replicate the image between the master Node and the remote Node. Then you set up a remote Group and a second Node definition that matches the first remote Node except it uses the remote Group instead of the master Group. Then you set up a second image definition that matches the first image except it uses the remote Group. So now when you set up a host at the remote location you assign it to the remote image and it will only pull from the remote Group, and because the remote Node is in both Groups the image is just a copy of the image you first created on the master Group. Not the easiest setup, but it works.

Or my kernel:

TRK booting NOT on an iso requires NFS to send files across the network. After TRK boots, the startup script copies files over NFS. keep in mind that NFS is not like samba and requires a full path. Thats what tripped me up.

I found my issue. I did not select the SNAP from the Host menu. I read through the fog doc and reliazed that I was not attaching SNAP Image to the host. Once I did that, I was able to schedule the Task. I also upadted the BIOS time and host local time.

I like to add extra column in the Host list page. I like to add Primary User column in the Host list. How can I do it?

Thanks,

Newbie.

I don’t know what KACE is, but it seems a little odd that your machines are dropping their network resources randomly. I’d look into your Service Options on the FOG Page and check that there isn’t a task set for rebooting the machines. This could be under the Green FOG settings or Task Reboot. I don’t know which one it will be. However as you state it only seems to happen when the WIFI is enabled, I’d check that the primary address for the hosts is the LAN not WIFI. If it’s not these options, it’s highly unlikely it’s the FOG Client causing the issue, but seemingly an issue with the image itself.

I hope this is somewhat helpful in narrowing down the issue for you.

I can’t boot from network now … it dosen’t work.
