FogServer ISO Directory

[bsawyers]

I have created an ISO directory in /var/www/fog/iso to use with the advanced menu to boot iso’s. I have my fogserver set to backup and restore when i upgrade fog, this is working except during the backup and restore process it deletes my iso directory. Is there a way to prevent this or do i need to put the iso directory in another location?

Yes, do not place anything you want to keep in /var/www/fog directory. A valid option is /var/www/iso if you are using a debian variant OS.

@george1421 I moved the directory to /var/www/iso as suggested now i get 404 errors and fog cannot boot iso’s?

What host OS is the fog server running on?

[bsawyers]

@george1421 Debian 11 Bullseye

@bsawyers Ok that should be the right path, rhel/centos has a slighly different path.

So from a windows computer can you download any files in http://<fog_server_io/os directory?

If you create a file in /var/www/os called info.php, then insert fhe following text in it

<?php

phpinfo( );

?>

And then call that from a web browser http://<fog_server_ip>/os/info.php do you get pages of text?

@bsawyers What is the output of ls -la /var/www/os There is something not right here. Either the apache doc root is in some other location or … something.
