Cant pxe boot to fog.

@blindcat420 can you run a simple tftp transfer test? First can you double check rpcbind is running? Usually, I see tftp in a call port created when requested rather than a constant seeing of port 69 being open. This is usually handled by rpcbind utility. Xinetd May play a role as well but I don’t know if it running alone will prove anything.

@blindcat420 In the xinetd status picture I see ... removing tftp and so I guess something went wrong with the configuration file. Please check /etc/xinetd.d/tftp and post the full content here. The FOG installer does manipulate that file but I have not seen something going wrong here in the last couple of months or even years.

Here we go. Your config hasn’t been modified by the installer. Maybe the installer didn’t run all the way to the end? When it asked you to access the web interface, did it proceed further after you hit ENTER there? You can simply fix the path in the config (should be server_args = -s /tftpboot and disable = no) and restart xinetd but you might run into other issues if the installer hasn’t finished last time. The food thing is you can simply re-run the installer to do it’s thing again. It will detect that all packages are already installed and do all the config stuff for you again.

I will give that a try. I dont really remember. As far as I know the install should have completed. When I try to run this command from that tftp troubleshooting page. I get this.

Doesn’t look like i have a folder called tftpboot.

When you say rerun the installer are you talking about fog?

Yes, simply do as if you’d do your FOG install normally. Answer the questions as you did last time and let it run through. I am fairly sure the installer didn’t finish last time as it would have created /tftpboot and copied the iPXE binaries to it - and many more things.
