New FOG server will not start the image upload

[Josh Beddingfield]

Thanks.

prosigna@FOGMAN:/tftpboot$ ls
boot.txt fog memdisk pxelinux.0 pxelinux.cfg tftpboot vesamenu.c32
prosigna@FOGMAN:/tftpboot$ cd /tftpboot/tftpboot/
prosigna@FOGMAN:/tftpboot/tftpboot$ ls
prosigna@FOGMAN:/tftpboot/tftpboot$

I think the task is dead.

I restarted tftps-hpa

prosigna@FOGMAN:/etc/init.d$ sudo /etc/init.d/tftpd-hpa stop
[sudo] password for prosigna:
Rather than invoking init scripts through /etc/init.d, use the service(8)
utility, e.g. service tftpd-hpa stop

Since the script you are attempting to invoke has been converted to an
Upstart job, you may also use the stop(8) utility, e.g. stop tftpd-hpa
tftpd-hpa stop/waiting
prosigna@FOGMAN:/etc/init.d$ sudo /etc/init.d/tftpd-hpa start
Rather than invoking init scripts through /etc/init.d, use the service(8)
utility, e.g. service tftpd-hpa start

Since the script you are attempting to invoke has been converted to an
Upstart job, you may also use the start(8) utility, e.g. start tftpd-hpa
tftpd-hpa start/running, process 2855

Then started a new task in the GUI

prosigna@FOGMAN:/etc/init.d$ cd /tftpboot/
prosigna@FOGMAN:/tftpboot$ ls
boot.txt fog memdisk pxelinux.0 pxelinux.cfg tftpboot vesamenu.c32
prosigna@FOGMAN:/tftpboot$ cd /tftpboot/tftpboot/
prosigna@FOGMAN:/tftpboot/tftpboot$ ls
prosigna@FOGMAN:/tftpboot/tftpboot$

I think the correct location is actually /tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/

My FOG server is slightly modified so my stuff is in a different directory. Check there.

[Josh Beddingfield]

This is the task that appears in the/tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/

It comes and goes with changes to the GUI.

append initrd=fog/images/init.gz root=/dev/ram0 rw ramdisk_size=127000 ip=dhcp dns=10.28.0.4 type=up img=CDHSMINT13 imgid=2 mac=00:18:8b:1a:50:88 storage=10.28.0.10:/images/dev/ web=10.28.0.10/fog/ ignorepg=1 osid=50 pct=5 imgType=mps shutdown= loglevel=4 consoleblank=0 fdrive= chkdsk=0pros

I think there is a permission problem some place but I’m not sure where.

[chad-bisd]

If you are getting a problem detecting the OS type, it’s on the client at this point. This appears to be a Linux based client that you are trying to upload. Is that correct?

[Josh Beddingfield]

The output I posted is from a Linux client. I was getting the same issue from a WIndows 7-64 client. I did not capture that output.

Question. Is what type of image are you trying, single disk resizable multiple part single disk or multiparty all disk.

[Josh Beddingfield]

single disk, multi part, non-resize

[Tom Elliott]

The correct directory is is /tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/ the permissions should be checked for this directory. Also check the host for an appropriate OS assigned.

What should the permission be?

[quote=“Tom Elliott, post: 15994, member: 7271”]Also check the host for an appropriate OS assigned.[/quote]

Been checked, double checked, and triple checked. I will check it again. lol

[Tom Elliott]

Is this windows xp windows 7 or Linux.

[Tom Elliott]

Perms on tftpboot should be 755 fog.root on all.

[Tom Elliott]

chown fog:root -R /tftpboot; chmod 755 -R /tftpboot

Sorry about poor grammar and no code I’m on cellphone.

[Josh Beddingfield]

I have a Win7-64 box to my left and a Mint-13 box to my right.

[Tom Elliott]

Try running task with debug mode. This is different than booting into debug mode. I’ll explain when I get home on appropriate hardware.

[Josh Beddingfield]

Thx. The server is at the high school. More debugging will have to wait until Monday.

[Tom Elliott]

The reason why you need to create the task with debug is it enables the output of information within a viable task.

If you don’t, but boot into debug mode directly from the pxe menu, there is no task, therefore no OS ID sent to the system.

[Josh Beddingfield]

[quote=“Tom Elliott, post: 15998, member: 7271”]chown fog:root -R /tftpboot; chmod 755 -R /tftpboot [/quote]

FOR THE WIN!!!

Thanks.

[Tom Elliott]

Glad I could be of help.

[Josh Beddingfield]

Broken again. Now it will not start any task.

I was uploading and downloading fine when I tried to multicast. The multicast task did not launch (skipped straight to the FOG menu when booting). I made the changes found here in the troubleshooting section: [url]http://www.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Multicasting[/url]
then rebooted

Now it will not launch any tasks at all. They appear in /tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg but the clients just boot straight to the FOG menu - even when you launch in Debug-Deploy

When you select Debug from the FOG menu we are back to the “Unable to determine operating system type” stuff.
