@sebastian-roth Thanks, i did it with rename.

I am not expert so i wanted give the options by instalation. Thats why i just renamed the .fogsettings file.

@sebastian-roth Perfect. The original install was through a Group Policy .msi push, so I added the newer agent to replace the old one. Appreciate the quick info!

@doc Having backups would have saved you some pain, but you can rebuild it.

Understand this memory is vague, but I seem to recall if the fog client is installed on your target computers, when the fog client checks in, the registration will be created, but in a pending state, where you need to authorize the client in the FOG Web ui. If it still works that way, this may be a way to rebuild the registrations without much pain. The other options may be to add the hosts via a csv file into the host table, there may be a web ui option to import hosts too. You will at least need hostname and mac address.

@poizzon Same here. I tried replacing in S: partition to the latest rEFInd but still getting stuck at “initializing”.

Finally got a chance to run the upgrade again and figured out my issue.

For some reason safari wasn’t happy with the upgrade. I can open fog fine from a private window or if I cleared history. It doesn’t open in Chrome, which was my other test because chrome doesn’t trust the ssl cert and no longer gives an option to bypass by default.

@george1421 That’s probably why its not working, I have my root account username is fog. Thank you, I will change it

@Pinki This sounds like a layer 7 firewall is in between FOG server and the client/host. Sometimes alles the transfer of init.xz but more often blocks it.

The later error is due to the firewall not allowing connections on random network ports which are used by NFS.

Either way you need to talk to your network/security team and see if they can help.

@john-l-clark Up til this point we didn’t change anything. If you were able to make the database server change then we could do the next step that will solve the speed issue. SO with that said, its probably running fine now but the slowness will be back.

When you are to the point where you want to continue let me know. We can work through the rest of the changes.

@mesaman0182 Simply use the command mysql -u fogmaster -p (don’t add the password to the command line but wait for the command to ask you for the password)

@sebastian-roth

[17-Oct-2021 14:55:07 UTC] PHP Fatal error: Uncaught Exception: Error multiple hosts returned for list of mac addresses in /var/www/html/fog/lib/fog/hostmanager.class.php:209

Could it be that?

Absolutely! Search the forums for this error and you will find help.

@george1421 HI George,

I’ve started again replcing all config files and checking /boot has no refind.conf files.

i’m now at a point where I have both choices in fog:

The orginal refind.conf option works AND i can change default boot choice.

The new refindx2.conf option is ignored, i can even delete refindx2.conf and it still boots into a refind menu. I’ve also checked the refindx2 option and it’s not reading the original refind.conf.

here’s me remade settings:

bootmenu.class.php

public function __construct() { parent::__construct(); $grubChain = 'chain -ar ${boot-url}/service/ipxe/grub.exe ' . '--config-file="%s"'; $sanboot = 'sanboot --no-describe --drive 0x80'; $refind = sprintf( 'imgfetch ${boot-url}/service/ipxe/refind.conf%s' . 'chain -ar ${boot-url}/service/ipxe/refind_x64.efi', "\n" ); $refindx2 = sprintf( 'imgfetch ${boot-url}/service/ipxe/refindx2.conf%s' . 'chain -ar ${boot-url}/service/ipxe/refind_x64.efi', "\n" ); if (stripos($_REQUEST['arch'], 'i386') !== false) { //user i386 boot loaders instead $refind = sprintf( 'imgfetch ${boot-url}/service/ipxe/refind.conf%s' . 'chain -ar ${boot-url}/service/ipxe/refind_ia32.efi', "\n" ); }

and further down the same file

self::$_exitTypes = array( 'sanboot' => $sanboot, 'grub' => $grub['basic'], 'grub_first_hdd' => $grub['basic'], 'grub_first_cdrom' => $grub['1cd'], 'grub_first_found_windows' => $grub['1fw'], 'refind_efi' => $refind, 'refind_efix2' => $refindx2, 'exit' => 'exit', );

service.class.php

if (empty($name)) { $name = $this->get('name'); } $types = array( 'sanboot', 'grub', 'grub_first_hdd', 'grub_first_cdrom', 'grub_first_found_windows', 'refind_efi', 'refind_efix2', 'exit', );

@crustyjeff Search the forums for “mac passthrough” and I am sure you can figure out what this is about.

@lolarea2 said in Starting and checking status of web service failing:

I’m unsure how to make FOG not use 443 since 443 is required by OpenVPN for the restrictive networks I go outside my home for system maintenance.

Which Linux OS and version do you use? As far as I know from the top of my head the FOG Installer shouldn’t use 443 if you do not enable HTTPS. But I can imagine the OS itself defaults to HTTPS enabled by now when the Apache package is being installed.

I am sure there is an easy fix as soon as we know the OS and version you use.

@ryno-theron said in Fog Server with DHCP:

Why is it that if the web management can see the registration but device is not registered after a restart?

Please open a new topic on this issue. It helps a lot to keep things sorted and not just post one question after the other in the same thread.

A quick first hint in this: search the forums for “passthrough MAC” and I am sure you can find an answer to your question.

@x23piracy said in Lenovo E15 Gen 2 Issues:

Is reading the SLIC from Bios still in the current releases of FOG? I have a nice customisation from Tom running in my current installation:

Sorry, but I don’t know what this is about. Probably best of you open a new topic on this.

@tesparza Fixed by increase the number of connections.

mysql
SET GLOBAL max_connections = 200;
flush hosts;

login as root into the database.

@tesparza said in Kernel update and storage nodes?:

This is a HP ProBook 250 G8
The “no network interface found, kernel missing correct driver” was a Dell optiplex 5080

Well then we are talking about two totally different issues and it would make sense to open separate topics in the forums on the two. The more we keep this together the more missunderstanding and time consuming questions arise.

@jaan said in Win 10 Hyper-v VM unable to PXE boot:

I did see the other threads, but discounted them as the are different revision of HYPER-V, from what i understand my version is the troublesome one. I did have this working on the previous ltsc of ubuntu.

I don’t use Hyper-V and therefore can’t give you any information on which version should work.

Unfortunately this hasn’t resolved the issue. i have performed a reboot also.

No reboot needed. The iPXE binaries are used as soon as they are in place. I was just going to say that you can check the iPXE version number on screen when it boots up to make sure it actually uses the newer binaries. But looking at the picture you posted initially I remember the version header is printer after the device initialization sequence. Too bad.

I already have the below listed in my DHCP server… not sure where to find the dhcpd.conf file to edit it. Can i do this in the FOG GUI?

Thanks again

Yes, obviously you use a Windows DHCP server and it’s set to use undionly.kpxe already. Don’t worry about the mentioned dhcpd.conf then. This is only used when FOG is configured to be the DHCP server in your network.
