  @Strahd I would try updating PHP to 8.3, @Tom-Elliott managed to test it and it worked with 7.4 but I’d still suggest updating your PHP for best results and best security practice. I found (though didn’t test) a guide online right quick https://php.watch/articles/php-8.3-install-upgrade-on-debian-ubuntu#php83-ubuntu-quick there are many others out there.

  I would also go in the database and see what your schema version is

  mysql -u root fog select * from schemaVersion;

  318 is the latest I believe, if yours says 318 and is stuck in a loop, maybe you can try forcing it down and then trying the schema update again. i.e.

  mysql u root fog update schemaVersion set vValue=317 where vID=1;

  Then open your fog server, it will redirect you to update the schema, and see if it takes then.

  Also any time you’re attempting an install and it fails, if you could grab and share the error log it mentions i.e. /root/fogproject/bin/error_logs/fog_error_1.6.0-beta. 3064. log that would be very helpful.

  There’s something specific to your instance that we need to find and fix. Maybe you have a firewall running sudo ufw status ?

  @JCS-RVK Understood and apologies there’s not a good method around this.

  Thanks for at least understanding. I wonder if some of the similar types of issues we’ve seen historically have a similar style of problem that I’m only coming to realize now-a-days.

  I pulled latest dev-branch version 1.5.10.1856, re-run installer and snapins are working again.

  Thank you very much for help.

  @Numa09
  I had the same problem with a TP-Link switch. The model was a TL-SG2428P, and the FOG client would get stuck at:

  “Running post init scripts…”

  There were no error messages on the server, and the server firewall was disabled.

  After seeing your comment, I disabled the DoS protection feature on the switch, and FOG started working normally.

  Thank you, man!

  Hello everyone,

  As I work at a secondary school, I was able to get hold of some Catalina iMacs (iMac 14.3).
  I already use FOG to deploy Windows and Linux images on PCs.

  I would like to deploy a LinuxMint image on these iMacs.

  However, I am unable to boot into PXE on them with FOG, and I do not know what is wrong.

  I modified my DHCP server as follows:

  ## FOG class "UEFI-32-1" { match if substring(option vendor-class-identifier, 0, 20) = "PXEClient:Arch:00006"; filename "i386-efi/ipxe.efi"; } class "UEFI-32-2" { match if substring(option vendor-class-identifier, 0, 20) = "PXEClient:Arch:00002"; filename "i386-efi/ipxe.efi"; } class "UEFI-64-1" { match if substring(option vendor-class-identifier, 0, 20) = "PXEClient:Arch:00007"; filename "ipxe.efi"; } class "UEFI-64-2" { match if substring(option vendor-class-identifier, 0, 20) = "PXEClient:Arch:00008"; filename "ipxe.efi"; } class "UEFI-64-3" { match if substring(option vendor-class-identifier, 0, 20) = "PXEClient:Arch:00009"; filename "ipxe.efi"; } class "Apple-Intel-Netboot" { match if substring (option vendor-class-identifier, 0, 14) = "AAPLBSDPC/i386"; option dhcp-parameter-request-list 1,3,17,43,60; if (option dhcp-message-type = 8) { option vendor-class-identifier "AAPLBSDPC"; if (substring(option vendor-encapsulated-options, 0, 3) = 01:01:01) { # BSDP List option vendor-encapsulated-options 01:01:01:04:02:80:00:07:04:81:00:05:2a:09:0D:81:00:05:2a:08:69:50:58:45:2d:46:4f:47; } elsif (substring(option vendor-encapsulated-options, 0, 3) = 01:01:02) { #BSDP Select option vendor-encapsulated-options 01:01:02:08:04:81:00:05:2a:82:0a:4e:65:74:42:6f:6f:74:30:30:31; # filename "i386-efi/ipxe.efi"; filename "snp.efi"; } } } class "Legacy" { match if substring(option vendor-class-identifier, 0, 20) = "PXEClient:Arch:00000"; filename "undionly.kkpxe"; } ### END FOG

  I tested ipxe.efi in 64-bit and 32-bit, as well as snp.efi, but it still doesn’t work. I get some kind of spinning planet when I try to boot.

  I admit I don’t fully understand the documentation page: https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/FOG_on_a_MAC

  Thanks in advance!

  I’ve updated my FOG to the stable release and also updated my script with the following three lines, and everything’s fine – the database has been backed up successfully, it’s perfect!

  fogApiToken="XYZ=" fogUsrToken="ZYF" curl -ik -X GET "http://$fogServerAddress/fog/system/export" -H "fog-api-token: $fogApiToken" -H "fog-user-token: $fogUsrToken" -o $backupDir/mysql/fog.sql 2>>$backupDir/logs/error.log 1>>$backupDir/logs/progress.log 2>&1

  Thanks again for all your hard work on the FOG project!
