No Such File or directory when tring to boot external tools?

[dureal99d]

ubuntu 19.04
dual xeon e5620
fog 157

recently I had to redo my linux machine

I get this error “no such file or directory” no matter what permissions i give to the folder with the boot images in it.

I have previously had great success with the same config prior to reinstalling and made every note to insure a seamless reinstall yet, no luck

with that said the regular fog stuff works just fine, but my tools are used often and are very important in my environment.

my external tools sit in a folder that i have created

Here is the info of the command = ls -la

drwxr-xr-x 8 www-data www-data 4096 Oct 16 16:35 .
drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 4096 Oct 1 21:38 …

drwxr-xr-x 3 www-data www-data 4096 Oct 15 19:39 pmagic

Here is the error,

my exports:

/images/dev *(rw,async,no_wdelay,no_subtree_check,no_root_squash,insecure,fsid=1)

My parameters:

boot || goto failed
goto start

am i missing something?

You really didn’t supply enough information but looking at the error I can give you a direction to look in.

The error is http://192.168.2.10/bootimgs/18.04/casper/vmlinz… does not exist.

So that means you are using the http protocol which has a base directory of /var/www/html/fog from that directory bootimgs/18.04/casper/vmlinz needs to exist. Just looking at the directory you provided there is no base references but I see Ubuntu directory of 18.04_64 which if you translate that to the file not found path 18.04_64 != 18.04 assuming the base path was /var/www/html/fog/bootimgs

I see.

what other information would you require to assist me?

Inform and I shall provide what is needed

additionally…

if i understand correctly “http” will not work from var/www/html" but rather requires that i symlink from var/www/html/fog

i failed to paste the proper directory and folder name but in the fog client they are correct.

i will try to update the link to see what happens

@dureal99d said in No Such File or directory when tring to boot external tools?:

what other information would you require to assist me?

what does the results of this command? ls -la /var/www/html/bootimgs

I think the problem is already defined in my previous post.

@george1421 Its fixed

after symlinking my custom image directory to /var/www/html/fog as noted, it worked.

its always the little things isnt it
and i had to change the path on my parameters
