Problem with HTTPS upgrade

[Sebastian Roth]

@FritzBox360 Just did a fresh clean test install Ubuntu 18.04.1 server. Installed FOG and build iPXE binaries:

cd fogproject/bin
./installfog.sh --force-https --recreate-CA --recreate-keys
...
cd ../utils/FOGiPXE/
./buildipxe.sh
...

Make sure you let it run the installer at the end or copy the binaries by hand.

This was tested in a virtualbox test environment with legacy BIOS boot as vbox doesn’t support UEFI PXE boot, at least not the version I have. So UEFI could be different, though I don’t expect it to be.

@Sebastian-Roth thanks for your time I did the same with the same error … Fresh installation of ubuntu with a fresh fog server. I will try it again on other hardware and another setup later this week.

@FritzBox360 Please grep the logs (especially the compile stuff) and post here. I suppose there is something wrong with this.

Do you use git pull to get the repository or do you download the ZIP archive from github?

[FritzBox360]

@Sebastian-Roth okay, here is what i tried:

1. Freh install of ubuntu-18.04.1.0-live-server-amd64.iso in VMware. After the server is ready i did this.

sudo -i
apt update
apt upgrade
reboot

sudo -i
cd /root
git clone https://github.com/FOGProject/fogproject.git
cd fogproject/bin
./installfog.sh -C -K -S


cd ..
cd utils/FOGiPXE/
./buildipxe.sh

fog_error_1.5.5.log --> here
foginstall.log --> here
build.log --> here

Looks fine for me - but did not work. I will try it another setup later.

Edit: I am unable to upload my logfiles here - if i select a file for upload nothing happens - so i used pastebin, hope that is okay. Using CodeBlocks in the forum was to big.

@FritzBox360 Great you posted all the logs. Definitely helpful here I reckon. In the install log I see that you install FOG without DHCP. So I suppose you have a DHCP server running in your network that provides PXE boot information (aka DHCP option 66 and 67). What kind of DHCP is this? Which boot file name does it point to? And which server? Does it point to the FOG server as PXE TFTP server or a different machine?

The install and build logs seem all fine.

@Sebastian-Roth thank you for pointing me at the DHCP! I found the problem! All files are fine, but our company DHCP was not! After trying it in a seperated VMware Network it worked like a charm! So all the effort was in vain - i am sorry

We have an old fog running 1.4.4 in our DHCP config for managing the PXE Menu because we are running multiple (i)PXE Services in one subnet. I created a new boot menu item to forward the pxe boot to the new fog server.

like this:

iseq ${net0/mac} a0:36:9f:bd:XX:XX && goto testing ||
:testing
set pxeserver:ipv4 FOG-IP
set next-server ${pxeserver}
chain tftp://FOG-IP/default.ipxe
exit

Got it from here in 2017: https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/9648/add-a-second-pxe-boot-option

Worked fine, until now … And by now, i understand why no certification cmds were availibe because it got stuck in the old fog enviroment. Need sth. to reload the enviroment i think. I will take a look into it to find a way. Maybe i will open a new topic here!

Thank you @Sebastian-Roth for taking the time! Your scrips are fine - it was my fault …
