GREAT SUCCESS!!!

My two problems were (well, one really, RTFM):

[URL=‘http://www.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Managing_FOG#Active_Directory_Integration’]Follow this article[/URL] to configure your hostname changer service and then edit the config.ini where you will generate encrypted passwords Follow [URL=‘http://support.microsoft.com/kb/818091’]M$ KB818091[/URL] to setup the account that will join nodes to AD

Can someone point me in the right direction please? I cannot find any help on this, basically I am new to fog and Linux, I have been tasked with deploying fog, we have 4 sites all on extremely slow links so would like to have the main fog server at head office and a storage node at each site, when a client pxe boots it needs to look at the database at head office for task assignments but pull the images from its local storage node, is there a numpty’s guide to acheive this please?

MOD: Can you delete this post. I have my fog server up and running fine.

[quote=“chad-bisd, post: 8570, member: 18”]What version of OS is your FOG server? What version of FOG? What OS is the client? What image type is the image?[/quote]
Hello all,
I had exactly the same problem with FOG 0.32 installed under ubuntu 12. I tried to restore an image on a windows 7 pc, multi.partitions on 1 disque. I solved the problem by entering in debug mode and then fdisk /dev/sda and finally ‘w’.
I need to deploy in a classroom and I wouldn’t like to have to do that on each machine , so I don’t know if there’s a workaround.
Per advance, Thanks for your help

You might want to look into this.

[quote=“Bjorn Jentoft, post: 2149, member: 587”]It’s a known fact that tftp is not the fastest protocol out there. Bigger files transfer much better on http. If you exchange [B]pxelinux.0[/B] with [B]gpxelinux.0[/B], http is supported. This will decrease loading time of ISO files substantially.

Your pxelinux.cfg/default would then contain something like this

LABEL winstall32
MENU LABEL Install Windows (all 32-bit)
LINUX memdisk
INITRD [url]http://myfogserver/iso/LiteTouchPE_x86.iso[/url]
APPEND iso raw

or

LABEL winpe
MENU LABEL WinPE
LINUX memdisk
INITRD [url]http://myfogserver/iso/mywinpe.iso[/url]
APPEND iso raw

Good luck, Bjorn[/quote]

the gpxelinux.0 can be grabbed from SYSlinux, [url]https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/boot/syslinux/[/url]

I have installed FOG on my Fedore Core 7 box, and I am unable to get to the default management webpage ([URL=‘http://localhost/fog/management’][SIZE=12px][FONT=Arial][U][B][COLOR=#000000]http://localhost/fog/management[/COLOR][/B][/U][/FONT][/SIZE][/URL]). I created 'fog" in www, and copied everything from ‘packages/web/’ to ‘var/www/fog/’.

Now the problem is that I’m not sure if I’ve edited the ‘/var/www/fog/commons/config.php’ file correctly with the correct MySQL settings. I’m also not sure if the ‘/opt/fog_0.32/packages/service/etc/config.php’ file was also edited correctly.

And when I try to log into the MySQL server via the terminal using the username and password indicated in the config.php file, it doesn’t accept the password.
Any help would be greatly appricated!
Thanks.

What kernel are you using in fog? I found that I could not use the 3.6.9 core kernel with some of our machines including the Optiplex 755s. I have the 3.3.3 core as a secondary that I have to manually configure for and of the problem systems.

I am having the same problem, I am running the FOG server under Hyper-V on Windows 2008R2 datacenter. Could the virtualized network adapter (legacy network) on Hyper-V cause this?

It does not work either manually or thru the menu. I have used a WOL utility from the same subnet and it works. FOG does not seem to be sending any WOL packet.

Hi,

I had the same issue, it was simply the OS not being set properly… For a Windows 7 image marked as “single partition”, it creates a directory to skip the possible bitlocker partition anyway… So if you have a host marked as say WinXP, on a single partition image, it fails to restore it. Switching the Host OS type fixes it!

Cheers

Thanks! Ill check that out.

I’m trying to complete a similar task. I enabled the checkbox for the “Is Master Node” for my second storage node, which is in a second storage group. After doing so, both the default storage node and my new storage node are the Master Node in each storage group.

However, after doing this, I’m still receiving the same “Create task failed. Unable to located master node from storage group” error message you are receiving when trying to clone a computer to create an image on the new storage node.

Our new storage node is located on a NETGEAR ReadyNAS. I’m not 100% certain I have it configured correctly though, as I’m only my second day in with using FOG.

I believe that answers your question, but it’s not really a solution…unless your new storage is configured correctly and mine is not.

Let us know how it turns out for you.

Ok so the issue seems to stem from two things, incorrect php/mysql version or a &$tmp flag in part of the includes scripts for FOG itself.

[B]Check your php version first with “php -v” in a terminal - if you’re running 5.1 or earlier you will need to update![/B]

I ran these instructions/commands to update from PHP 5.1 to 5.2 in Centos 5.5 and it got my FOG working again. Please try updating to php 5.2 first before you go to 5.3 - you never know what it’ll break.

Get the Atomic repo (for Centos)
[QUOTE]wget -q -O - [url]http://www.atomicorp.com/installers/atomic.sh[/url] | sh[/QUOTE]

Edit repo to exlude php 5.3 (we just want 5.2 for testing purposes, coz we’re updating from 5.1)
[QUOTE]nano /etc/yum.repos.d/atomic.repo[/QUOTE]

(and add in the line) [I]exclude = php5.3[/I]

Update php
[QUOTE]yum update php[/QUOTE]

Restart Apache
[QUOTE]/etc/init.d/httpd restart[/QUOTE]

After these steps, I went through the help provided here: [url]http://fogproject.org/forum/threads/solved-cant-upload-images.3652/#post-8628[/url]

[QUOTE]So you should be able to search the /var/www/fog/management/includes/tasks.confirm.include.php for all instances of “&$tmp” and replace them with just “$tmp” [/QUOTE]

Everything is now imaging again and working the way it should 😄

[quote=“Terry Bates, post: 5057, member: 594”]Hey Lethal

I added the following to /var/www/fog/management/includes/tasks.advanced.include.php around line 165, i’m using FOG 0.32, seems to work a treat, not sure why its not included in the standard build.

[PHP] <tr>
<td class=“c”><a href=“?node=tasks&type=group&direction=onesnap&noconfirm=<?php print $groupid; ?>”><img src=“./images/snap.png” /><p><?php print _(‘Deploy Single Snapin’); ?></p></a></td>
<td><p><?php print _(‘This option allows you to send a single snapin to a Group. (Requires FOG Service to be installed on client)’); ?></p></td>
</tr>[/PHP]

Would love to know how you have added extra info to the database I would like to add a location to the hosts section so I know where my computers are, have requested the feature maybe you can help [url]http://fogproject.org/forum/threads/location-information-for-each-host.913/[/url][/quote]

Thanks Lethal, this is a great help. I’m going to use FOG to apply updates for programs such as flash/java etc. This is great thankyou,

No, I take back what I said earlier. Did some research into how it actually works, and what I said made no sense.

Can you make a temporary file for PXE to attempt to download that isn’t labeled pxelinux.0, point the DHCP servers to it, and then see if PXE will recognize and pull it across?

Just like to add I’m having the same issue but with a Dell Optiplex 760, what confounds me is that I’m sure it’s worked before…
(Using Fog 0.32 on Ubuntu 11.10, I forget which kernel exactly but it was changed from the default to the ‘kitchen sink’ one as it wasn’t working with other clients)
