    Hello,

    I have gotten fog to work both imageing and deploying images. Main system works great tftp included.

    However I do have some problems getting dban to work with ipxe. I have folllowed the guides here:
    https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Include_any_ISO_in_the_FOG_Bootmenu#Other_Parameter_Options
    https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/10786/dban-fog-boot-menu

    It does not seem my problem is listed among others, so I guess its becouse of my poor linux skills(still learning). Keep in mind all the info below are after all guides above.

    atm I have
    ubuntu-16.04.3-desktop-amd64 distro
    fog is running at: 1.4.4

    So to the problem at hand, it seems when I boot dban in ipxe it seems to loop back into the ipxe menu. I managed to pause it right before it boots back in and it says that it dban.iso boots “ok” then resets back into the ipxe menu.

    I run the fog server as a DHCP server.

    When i try to reach x.x.x.x/dban it reroute backinto x.x.x.x/fog/management

    However when DHCP is disabled I can access x.x.x.x/dban fine, also localhost/dban works.

    I have struggeled with this for several hours, and a helping hand would be very much appricated.

      @loktar Is this machine set to UEFI or legacy BIOS? DBAN is not working on UEFI machines.

      Web GUI issue? Please check apache error (debian/ubuntu: /var/log/apache2/error.log, centos/fedora/rhel: /var/log/httpd/error_log) and php-fpm log (/var/log/php*-fpm.log)

          @loktar Then please post the exact iPXE config you use to boot that DBAN iso…

            I have tried to mount the image both to /var/www/html/dban and /var/www/dban

            Menu item: DBAN
            Parameters: :DBAN kernel ${boot_url}/dban/dban.bzi nuke=“dwipe --autonuke” silent vga=785 boot

            this is the files located x.x.x.x/dban/
            about.txt
            dban.bzi
            isolinux.bin

              @loktar Parameters should be as seen in the forums thread you initially posted:

              kernel http://${fog-ip}/dban/dban.bzi nuke="dwipe --autonuke --method quick" silent vga=785
              boot || goto MENU
              

              or

              kernel ${boot-url}/dban/dban.bzi nuke="dwipe --autonuke --method quick" silent vga=785
              boot || goto MENU
              

              Don’t mount in /var/www/html/dban but use /var/www/dban instead!

              Have you double checked the hashsum after downloading the ISO file? Maybe the download was canceled.

              Web GUI issue? Please check apache error (debian/ubuntu: /var/log/apache2/error.log, centos/fedora/rhel: /var/log/httpd/error_log) and php-fpm log (/var/log/php*-fpm.log)

                @sebastian-roth This is what happens everythime I run the paramater.0_1507221873518_1.png
                Tried both settings and checked hash, hash is correct. I feel there is something strange happening, becouse after running dban… as seen above it just boot right back into:
                0_1507221934012_2.png
                I have no idea why. Its probably something obvious I missed somewhere, but I cant find out where or what it is.

                  @loktar So can you download that file when you open the URL http://192.168.20.2/fog/dban/dban.bzi ??
                  And what that URL. The parameters I posted say: http://${fog-ip}/dban/dban.bzi. Please post a picture of your iPXE menu settings for this entry. I kind of feel that you have something missing there. You see those commands I posted are not in one line but it’s actually two lines of code!!

                  kernel ....
                  boot ...
                  

                  It wouldn’t work if you have:

                  kernel .... boot
                  

                  Web GUI issue? Please check apache error (debian/ubuntu: /var/log/apache2/error.log, centos/fedora/rhel: /var/log/httpd/error_log) and php-fpm log (/var/log/php*-fpm.log)

                      @loktar Well, you now have used ${fog+ip} instead of ${fog-ip}…

                      No idea where you got that from.

                        I tried a few things just before I sent you. I am sorry for that typo, fixed now. The error is stille the same though.

                          @loktar Well then we need the big hammer to figure out what’s wrong here. Please boot up the client to the menu and move the cursor to the dban entry but don’t hit ENTER yet.
                          Go to your FOG server, open a terminal/SSH connection and run the following commands:

                          sudo apt-get install tcpdump
                          sudo tcpdump -w /tmp/dban.pcap host x.x.x.x
                          

                          Replace x.x.x.x with the client IP address! The tcpdump command will print one line and then just sit there waiting. Now hit ENTER on the client to try and boot into DBAN. When you get back to the menu just stop tcpdump (Ctrl+C), upload that file /tmp/dban.pcap to your dropbox/google drive and post a link here.

                          Web GUI issue? Please check apache error (debian/ubuntu: /var/log/apache2/error.log, centos/fedora/rhel: /var/log/httpd/error_log) and php-fpm log (/var/log/php*-fpm.log)

                              @loktar The PCAP tells us what’s wrong:

                              GET /dban/dban.bzi HTTP/1.1
                              Connection: keep-alive
                              User-Agent: iPXE/1.0.0+ (64865)
                              Host: 192.168.20.2
                              
                              HTTP/1.1 302 Found
                              Date: Fri, 06 Oct 2017 07:16:32 GMT
                              Server: Apache/2.4.27 (Ubuntu)
                              Location: http://192.168.20.2/fog/management/index.php
                              

                              Not sure if you can “read” HTTP header information. The first block is the client request from your PC. and the second block is the answer. Well, it does redirect the client to the web UI management interface. This is most probably happening because you have the ISO mounted in the “wrong” place. Please run the command mount on your FOG server and post output here.

                                Sorry for the late reply, here is the mount.

                                edit: It worked now, I reinstalled Ubuntu and fog and followed all the tips/steps you have given me and now it works!

                                I still cannot list x.x.x.x/dban For some reason. It still redirects.

                                  @loktar said in Have some problems with dban:

                                  I still cannot list x.x.x.x/dban For some reason. It still redirects.

                                  That’s ok. Just the way our redirecting works right now. It’s on my list to fix but … can’t do it all at once. But you should be able to access the file through URL directly. Just no directory listing possible!

                                  Great you got it working now. Marking this solved.
