FYI, here are the lines I had to add to the iPxe config to deal with the other TFTP image server on my school network:

#already had this line in place
set next-server 10.xxx.xxx.xxx

#additional lines to make sure correct boot image and image server are used
set filename pxelinux.0
set proxydhcp/filename pxelinux.0
set proxydhcp/next-server 10.xxx.xxx.xxx

Sussed it out. you need to enter a password in the Master Password box in the ‘Other Information’ page before you can update the PXE menu settings.

As an update, we have decided to install FOG on our dedicated Ubuntu server and we just got in a a clean copy of Windows XP (an install disk not from HP, Dell, etc.). So the plan is to get FOG up on the new machine and the build a fresh image from scratch. This should hopefully resolve any odd ball issues that were preventing an upload.

[quote=“Blackout, post: 2155, member: 1”]To fix the timezone issue, edit your php.ini and set the ‘date.timezone’ variable.

The installer does not use ‘php -v’ to check the version, it queries RPM.
Run this for me and post the output:
[code]rpm -q php53[/code][/quote]
Odd, on my base server php -v sez I have version 5.1. If I do an rpm-q php51, it said not installed, BUT if I try rpm -q php it correctly identifies 5.1 as the version. i also noticed that the wiki doc states in the CentOS install that it was tested with 0.30. Has any testing been done with 0.32 and CentOS or am I performing that function. 🙂

Tryed this [url]http://www.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=Installation[/url] ?
And this [url]https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/network-configuration.html[/url] for configuring static IP

thanks

i don’t know what happened , but it worked, thanks

Hi Jamie,

Yes, there is. Have a look at this thread: [url]http://fogproject.org/forum/threads/how-to-modify-the-pxe-boot-menu-to-allow-the-booting-of-iso-files.154/[/url]

There’s one comment of mine where I’ve detailed -in red lines- the structure you should follow. Although I’ve only used it for rescue tools, you should be able to select and deploy images.
You may also find this guide useful: [url]http://www.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=Bypass_Host_Registration[/url]

I hope this is what you were looking for.

found it. im working in vmware so i have the possibility to go back to saved points… when i did that i noticed a problem with some folders mysql has to make. i reinstalled it but this time i used a password for the mysql during install (where in the manual it says you dont) but it works fine now and im having a password on the whole pxe menu. now students cant fiddle with the pxe!!

Got it fix already. It seems I that I made some wrong configurations during the setup of the FOG server. I just refer to “[URL=‘http://www.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=Change_FOG_Server_IP_Address’]Change FOG Server IP address[/URL]” guide to change to the IP address that I want.

The config.php file is mostly used for settings from the initial installation, during which they are written to the database that is created and then are no longer read from the file. Some entries, such as the database and database username with password, are still read, so use caution if you feel compelled to edit this file. Modifying the FOG_TFTP_HOST in WebUI->Information->FOG Settings is the correct location, so I’m not sure why it didn’t work for you. You can always try editing the database manually, it’s stored in fog.globalsettings.

[quote=“falko, post: 1688, member: 48”]hosts settings needs to be along the lines of the below (basically the full file path, i cant remember of the top of my head)

/fog/kernel/hp6200

edit: see the last picture in the link i sent[/quote]

Okay… just wanted to update… I (temporarily) gave up on renaming the kernel file just to see if simplifying would help. It did.

I just followed the directions for downloading a newer kernel (the newest one still doesn’t dl properly - says size=0) and LEFT THE DEFAULT FILENAME. I then left the kernel designation blank for the new workstation and the deployment (at least to just that single machine) went through - 100%. This is about a 22GB image in about 6 and a half minutes!

Thank you, Falko! You’re awesome! Hope I can return the favor some time.

Capone hangs when matching DMI also with version 0.31

I do not have that file under the /etc/dhcp3 directory. There is only a folder named ‘dhclient-enter-hooks.d’

I checked for hidden files as well.

It finally works. After completing the steps above, it took booting into a Linux LiveCD (sysrescCD to be exact) and changing the partition table to msdos from GPT with parted. After that, Windows installed and imaged beautifully. Thanks!

Fog version 0.27
Kernel version 3.2.4

Thanks,

I’m on 11.10 and the service name for my installation is “isc-dhcp-server”

I think the path is /etc/init.d/isc-dhcp-server

I hope that’s the same one for you.

Thank you soooooo very much! Its all working now 🙂

If i may ask why is the machine set to logon with the Admin account ?

Possible that the 0.29 server is your primary ?
