how to turn off https support

[robertkwild]

hi all,

when i installed fog for the first time on a new OS alma 9.5 (old fog was on centos 7) i turned on https but now my clients cant connect to fog, they get this

i think this is happening because i enabled https, is there anyway to turn it off or am i stuck with it on

thanks,
rob

@robertkwild Try using snponly.efi instead of snp.efi

[robertkwild]

@Tom-Elliott

that didnt work, changed to “snponly.efi” but still same error about autoexec.ipxe

but when i do a ls on /tftpboot i cant see “autoexec.ipxe” is this why

ls -lah /tftpboot

is it because i havnt got a dns entry for fog since i changed to using https?

what is interesting is that fog works on a vm ie it says “autoexec.ipxe” not found and it continues to load the fog menu where i can deploy my image

so its only happening on new uefi firmware looks like it

[Tom Elliott]

@robertkwild The autoexec.ipxe isn’t a problem at all. It is just saying that the file doesn’t exist. It’s meant as a means to allow the consumer (you) to have other scripts that just “work” dynamically. It is not a required file and not the cause of the “freeze” I suspect you think it is.

[robertkwild]

@Tom-Elliott thanks, now i know the “autoexec.ipxe…not found” is fine its just a warning and it ignores it and continues

but why then does this laptop fail to boot into fog and a vm does boot into fog?

is it because the laptop uses a usb/ethernet adapter

[Tom Elliott]

@robertkwild I do not know why it’s not booting. It looks like it’s getting the file and trying things, but i’m not sure where it’s failing specifically?

[robertkwild]

@Tom-Elliott is there a way to find out where its failing

i have the PCAP file if interested?
