PXE-E32 Error; Not sure what went wrong.

@jazkw Well it depends on what mode dnsmasq is configured in. If its setup as proxydhcp then it could be mucking up the works. The config file path shown is not something that FOG would setup or configure. That looks like some other application configured dnsmasq for you.
If in doubt, key in
systemctl stop dnsmasqto temporarily stop the service. Then try to pxe boot. If you still can’t understand what is going wrong then lets capture a packet trace of the pxe booting process. As long as the FOG server and the pxe booting client are on the same subnet, we can use FOG to spy on the pxe booting process. If the target computer is on a different subnet then we will need a second computer on the pxe booting computer’s subnet with wireshark installed.I have a tutorial on how to capture a pcap of the pxe booting process here: https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/9673/when-dhcp-pxe-booting-process-goes-bad-and-you-have-no-clue

@george1421 Stopping dnsmasq didn’t change anything, still the same result and same error. Need to review network policy before attempting a packet capture.
-
@jazkw OK fair enough. Just be aware with the capture filter defined in that article only pxe booting and dhcp process will be captured in the pcap. No PII is available at this point in the booting process. Even windows isn’t involved where we want to capture. Now I agree if you don’t use the exact capture filter I defined you may indirectly capture info you don’t want.
If you are able to capture a pcap, but don’t want to post it here, or IM me the link to the pcap, we can still work indirectly via your eyes with the pcap, but it will take much longer that way.

@george1421 There is one other thing I’ve noticed each time I went to uninstall and reinstall FOG, none of the services exist.
When I go to run these commandssudo rm /etc/init.d/FOGImageReplicator sudo rm /etc/init.d/FOGMulticastManager sudo rm /etc/init.d/FOGScheduler```I get:
[root@FOG NetworkManager]# sudo rm /etc/init.d/FOGImageReplicator
rm: cannot remove ‘/etc/init.d/FOGImageReplicator’: No such file or directoryFor each one; and when I go to check where they’re supposed to be located, they aren’t there
[root@FOG init.d]# ls -la total 40 drwxr-xr-x. 2 root root 70 Aug 6 10:33 . drwxr-xr-x. 10 root root 127 Aug 6 10:32 .. -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 18104 Jan 2 2018 functions -rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 4334 Jan 2 2018 netconsole -rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 7293 Jan 2 2018 network -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 1160 Apr 11 03:36 README -
@jazkw I’d have to look into what the installer is doing, but your FOG server is running in a systemd environment not systemv as the older versions of linux. SystemD uses systemctl which stores the init files in a different location instead of init.d (that is where systemv uses).
-
@george1421 Not sure if you have any control over it, but you may want to update the uninstall article on the wiki for systemd. I may have bad or redundant service files from previous install attempts, unless they were overwritten.
-
@JazKW Thanks for the picture. I see
http://.../boot.php...................... Connection timed out .... This is a big issue. The client is not able to load the iPXE menu stuff and fails. Are you able to open this URL in your browser from a PC within your network: http://192.168.1.87/fog/service/ipxe/boot.phpMy guess is that you have a local firewall not allowing this connection. Please check using
sudo iptables -L -n -v(post full output here). -
@sebastian-roth No I was not able to connect to the Fog server from another PC.
EDIT: Disabling firewalld got it to work.
This is what I got from the iptables:

@jazkw said in PXE-E32 Error; Not sure what went wrong.:
EDIT: Disabling firewalld got it to work.
Just add TCP port 80 to your firewall config and you should be fine. Although there might be later issues with NFS… If you are not familiar with firewall configuration you might want to leave it disabled for now till you have it all up and running. Later on you can still enable it again and add ports as needed.

@sebastian-roth Can go ahead and mark this as solved. Thank you for the help.
