[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 ?

I was able to fix my own issue and here is how I did it.

I changed my management username back to [B]‘fog’[/B]

It looks as if you are [B]NOT[/B] allowed to change the username. The username [B]MUST[/B] be set as [B]‘fog’[/B]

You [B]MUST [/B]also rename the fog user account created within Ubuntu to match the password within the web interface. (#sudo passwd fog)

Maybe we can create some sort of sticky thread on this and common TFTP and SQL issues concerning the config.php file. I see this all over the web but no real answers.

I hope all foes well with whoever is reading this!

All the clients are connected to the gigabit switch and are using gigabit ports.

[quote=“Zardan, post: 1859, member: 185”]Are the clients also connected to a gigabit switch? 10min for that size sounds like ~100mbit speeds.
Ive had the exact same issue when imaging a computer lab that had a old switch with only 100mbit ports, replacing it with a switch that had 1000mbit uplink to the rest of the network fixed the issue for me. Tftp traffic seems to take big hit when the network is overloaded.
If everything looks ok make sure the server have negotiated 1000mbit with the switch.[/quote]
