And:
44-37-e6-a9-a8-f2 is the correct MAC for the system you’re trying to deploy? When the system is booting from PXE, this is the MAC that shows?

Yes, it even reacts to Wake-On-LAN.

I’d say delete the task and the file if needed. You may even need to delete the host and perform full inventory with it, then try it again.

Changes outside the realm of instructions:
There is a computer user named “fog” (not to be confused with the GUI user named fog). I was unable to su fog with any of the passwords I could think of (including “password”). I changed fog’s password to password. I also changed the Fog Settings FOG_TFTP_FTP_USERNAME = fog
FOG_TFTP_FTP_PASSWORD = password -
I can cancel the task in the GUI and the file disappears.

That’s perfectly fine, but I’d change the password to something a little more convoluted.
It looks like the permissions are fine within /tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg
I’d say delete the host from the Web GUI and perform a Full registration on it. Have it update with the database so we can rule out a database issue and file issue. If the problem still persists we’ll try some more things. So:
Delete the Task from the Web GUI
Make sure the task was deleted from the /tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg (make sure the 01-44-37-e6-a9-a8-f2 file is removed) if it’s not removed manually do so with:
rm /tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/01-44-37-e6-a9-a8-f2Then delete the host from FOG. Go under Host management, search the host name (or mac if you want) and delete it from FOG completely. Then perform a full inventory on it to have it reestablished into FOG.
Then try to perform your tasks again.

It looks like this is the solution. I just added a brand new client. Created a brand new image in the GUI. Then set a task to upload the image and it launched fine. Must be something in the client registration that changed when I changed some settings. I will delete the hosts and re-register them.

I hope this works out for you. Sometimes it’s the only method, though you shouldn’t need to reupload the image.

Yep, that was my problem I used the username fog on the Ubuntu box and it wrecked the whole thing. I did a clean install (for the practice) and used a different username other than fog and it worked perfectly.
