      Hello here,

      I have to create a fog server but i have a problem during the installation.

      I followed this tuto (in French) but i had an issue with TFTPD-hpa, i couldn’t install it because cannot open IPv6 socket, disable IPv6: Address family not supported by protocol after some search i edited the tftpd-hpa default file (/etc/default/tftpd-hpa) and give it an option “-4” who force tftpd to use IPV4 and it worked ! My tftpd-hpa server was installed.

      But after the build of the database (during the installation) the install script couldn’t start the TFPT server
      * Setting up and starting TFTP and PXE Servers................Failed!

      And when i look at journalctl -xe i have the same error than the installation, an IPV6 error.
      When i look at the tftpd-hpa default file, my option -4 has disappeared because the script deleted it.

      I tried to modify the script but i’m a newbi and the only thing i found was the option “-t” (not-buildtftt) but when i write ./installfog.sh -t nothing change and the installation fail…

      I would like to know how to disable this “reset” of the tftpd-hpa default file.

      Thanks a lot for your answer !
      (And sorry for my english ^^')

      Ps : The OS is Debian 9.9 and my version of fog is 1.4.4

        @Onirix May I ask you to use the most current version 1.5.6 as of now. There was a bug in an earlier version that prevented an install on latest Debian…

        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)

          I tried to install the lastest version but i have the same problem, it’s possible to be a DHCP problem ?

            @Onirix What do you mean by same error? The “Setting up and starting TFTP and PXE Servers…Failed!” when installing or the error when booting a client machine?

            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)

              I mean “Setting up and starting TFTP and PXE Servers…Failed!” and the option -4 who is deleted by the script

                @Onirix I probably need to test with Debian 9.9 myself to figure this out. Not sure when I will get to this.

                  @Onirix I have just done a complete fresh clean Debian 9.9 setup and installed FOG without any issue. We might be able to figure out what’s wrong in your case but I’d think you’ll be way faster if you just start over again from scratch. Do a clean install and use FOG 1.5.6 from the beginning. I am fairly sure this won’t cause any trouble for you.

                    I see you’ve already tested it, but the daily install tests - in the case of Debian 9 - always are testing the very latest version of Debian 9 automatically every day. Arch is always the latest version. Centos 7 is always the latest centos7. Fedora 30 is always the latest 30. Ubuntu 18.04 is always the latest 18.04.xx.

                    Please help us build the FOG community with everyone involved. It's not just about coding - way more we need people to test things, update documentation and most importantly work on uniting the community of people enjoying and working on FOG!

                          @Sebastian-Roth I’m sorry i was in holidays, i just reinstall debian and retry to install fog with the installer and like the first time the package tftpd-hpa installation failed (but this time unzip, vsftpd, wget and xinetd failed too)

                          when i open jouralctl -xe i have these lines

                          Jun 11 06:52:36 fogif in.tftpd[24233]: cannot open IPv6 socket, disable IPv6: Address family not supported by protocol

                          So, i don’t think it’s a problem about the version of fog or the OS

                          The first time i reached to install tftpd-hpa by going in /etc/default/tftpd-hpa and give the -4 argument (to forcing IPV4 yes ?)

                          # /etc/default/tftpd-hpa

TFTP_USERNAME="tftp"
TFTP_DIRECTORY="/srv/tftp"
TFTP_ADDRESS="0.0.0.0:69"
TFTP_OPTIONS="--secure -4"

                          Is it a correct solution ? Currently i didn’t did it.

                          Thanks a lot !

                            @Onirix Seems like I have missed the important bits last time. From the messages you posted I think you have disabled IPv6 in Debian completely. While this is totally fine if you don’t want to have it enabled it’s not standard and therefore we have not run into it with our tests yet.

                            Yes adding -4 to the TFTP_OPTIONS should fix this - see here. But as soon as you re-run the installer it will generate a new /etc/default/tftpd-hpa for you and overwrite your change.

                            Note that the default file the installer generates looks like this:

                            # FOG Modified version
TFTP_USERNAME="root"
TFTP_DIRECTORY="/tftpboot"
TFTP_ADDRESS=":69"
TFTP_OPTIONS="-s"

                            So if you want to keep IPv6 disabled I would suggest you run the installer like this: ./installfog.sh -X - this way it should still go ahead even if it fails to start TFTP in the first place. Then when the installer is finished you can modify /etc/default/tftpd-hpa, manually start TFTP and go ahead.

                            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)
