that should make most of them work

[QUOTE]Go to FOG Configuration Page->FOG Settings->Proxy Settings enable bogus proxy ip information. It should auto fail and make loading the pages much quicker.[/QUOTE]

FOG_PROXY_IP > was empty i put my server ip adress but i solve this and other problem appear:
At Home page > Dashboard at Disk Information is an error (Failed to connect to … ) can i do smth to apear disk info again?

But some questions: Only me and two ppl more have this problem? I was searching on the forum and only two threads about this problem and no solution.
You can’t make something when you install fog 1.X.X to work good like 0.32 with the same or better configuration?
Because that delay it’s verry frustrating.

[quote=“Jaymes Driver, post: 27721, member: 3582”]I don’t think this is currently possible, you can submit a feature request and we can see if we can work something out. However, in the past forum members have been successful at coming up with their own fix or add in that we have later incorporated. So please don’t be afraid to try![/quote]

Unfortunately with work at present i will not have the time to contribute. I will however make a feature request. Thank you for your assistance.

That should work, but definitely read the wiki article on how to upgrade.

If you’re wanting a newer OS that still runs smoothly and lacks bloat then I’ll toss in another shout out to using Debian 7.5 . But yes, with any system its best to get major OS work out of the way before trying to set up software that you want to be stable. Dependencies change, folder locations change, kernels change… it can be a mess for software to go through OS upgrades.

Fedora and CentOS are supported.

Ubuntu has just been making some changes and that is why you see all the chatter about Ubuntu lately.

I would NOT update to 14.04. I, personally, wouldn’t upgrade form 10.04 ever, I still have servers running 10.04 and I have NO ubuntu issues at all! Fog works wonderfully on a GOOD base OS. 12.04 would not be a bad upgrade, and 13.10 would be safe too.

Personally I would back up my databases and move my fog folders and install 1.0.1 on the 10.04 machine.

If you would like to upgrade your Ubuntu I would upgrade to 13.04 or 13.10.

It would be recommended to upgrade to OS BEFORE installing FOG though.

I agree with both of them. If you plan to use fog for DHCP you should take your FOG server out of the network and run a private network for imaging. And in which case you should stop the service with a command should you wish to introduce the machine to the network once more.

the hosts that are looking for the old IP will not communicate with the server while it’s running unless you reconfigure the hosts to look for the new name or IP. assuming you set up your dhcp server correctly for the new IP of the server, network boot operations should be unaffected. you could probably make a snapin to deploy to all hosts before changing the server that updates the config files on the hosts for the new server.

[quote=“Juan Antonio, post: 27635, member: 23837”]Good night from Madrid
I’m going to change the PC of fog for a newer computer.:)
Can I move images OS from the old server to the new server?😕

How can I do?o_O[/quote]

Easiest method to Copy the old images to the new server is to:
[code]scp -r /images <NEWFOGSERVERIP>:/images[/code]

Then on the New server as root run:
[code]touch /images/{.mntcheck,dev/.mntcheck}
chmod -R 777 /images
chown -R root:root /images[/code]

Then you have to recreate the associations for the images in FOG which I leave completely up to you.

Thanks for the info, using that I found this and updated php on the Fedora 10 box that was getting the white screen.
I then ran the installer script, which finished correctly now and then I was able to update the fog DB just fine.

thanks for the help Tom

I missed the Banner in my haste. The Password was being delivered from the Storage Node. I didn’t think to look there. Makes sense on a large scale operation. Thank you for the help Junkhacker. By the way your avatar looks so angry. Makes me read all your responses like your angry and grumbling or scolding people… brilliant.

Well… This is Fog 1.0.1 We haven’t had time to write new wiki articles regarding adding items to the iPXE system. But this guide will not work for you. We no longer serve from the /tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/default file, so these settings will not work for you.

We also upgraded the system from pxe to ipxe, thus the commands listed on this wiki will not work for you.

Instead, please take a look here -> [url]http://fogproject.org/forum/threads/fog-0-33b-edit-pxe-menu.10403[/url]

This will assist you in creating a custom menu on the new ipxe system.

As far as changing your graphics, I will assume you mean the back ground image? If that is the case, everything is served from your /var/www/fog/service/ipxe you will want to edit the background.png image there.

please note if you are on ubuntu 14+ you need to look in /var/www/html/fog/service/ipxe

Tom,

Thanks for your explanation. I thought the randomized TFTP password was a fogcrypt hash. I ended up doing a new install anyway. I’d done lots of learning and experimenting on the last install, so thought it was a good idea to reinstall before we rolled this out.

I can’t thank you guys enough for the work you’re doing. I’ll be making a donation, and I’m not a developer (not much of one anyway), but I’d be glad to help in any way I can.

Great group of people here 🙂

Thank you and till next question 🙂

Can you please share the link for Fog 1.0.1 download.

Thanks! This is exactly what I was looking for.

I second using WAIK. It is alot easier than creating an Unattend file by hand. This tutorial helped me out quite a bit: [url]http://theitbros.com/sysprep-a-windows-7-machine-–-start-to-finish/[/url] .

As for activation, that is a tricky issue. My institution uses a KMS server. Somewhere I read that newer machines have the activation key hardwired into the computer somewhere. However that may only be for UEFI installations. If your computers do not have an activation code on the outside and they came with Windows pre-loaded then they key might be in the machine. That being the case any valid copy of Windows is supposed to work without having to enter a product key.

So if my thinking is correct you should be able to simply image the computer and Windows will pull the product key automatically from where ever it is stored. My laptop worked like that. I reinstalled Windows and it never asked me for a product key, but still worked. However I am not sure how that would affect you Unattend file. The only other solution is to create a separate Unattend file for each computer with the product key for that machine which is not an ideal solution.

Got it! Thanks Junkhacker! I am looking forward to upgrading my FOG server with 1.0.0 this summer.

Rock on, Tom! Thank you so much for your help!

Basically the software is stored on the storage node and gets copied down to the pc after image, also setup samba to the folder so its available as a software rep/share, we have a node on each site (any site that has more than 10 machines on site) so everything is “available” on the local network so no need to go down slow links etc… then the snapin is just a script n it determines what software is needed by hostname, model and location so once it determines what is needed jst installs them in order, i’ve used powershell in the past bt using autoit atm because its easier to be creative with GUI’s. Also got multiple tftps so the only “data” that is coming from “off” site is the snapin which is tiny 1.5MB n jst task n progress sent bk to server, so tiny tiny amounts 😄 so its jst as quick regardless of the remote site.
