Unable to Multicast | Unable to locate udp-sender

[christop]

Hello,

I am trying to get multicast working with FOG and whenever I attempt to, the screen is stuck indefinitely on the first partclone screen after initializing.

The logfile simply states “Unable to locate udp-sender!.”

I am on Ubuntu 24.04.3
I am utilizing the latest stable version of FOG.

I can restart the ‘FOGMulticastManager’ service and all it does it update the log file with the current time the service launches and states the same message.

I believed there may have been some corruption to my files and did a fresh install of FOG & Ubuntu and the log just had that message in it immediately after install.

If I run the ‘which udp-sender’ command I receive "/usr/sbin/udp-sender’

I have also tried removing and reinstalling udp-sender to no avail.

Has anyone come across this before? If not does anyone have multicast working on the stable version mind sharing what Linux OS they are running it off of? I am still in the PoC phase of setting up FOG and don’t mind changing Linux flavours.

Thanks in advance!

I found the issue!

The udpsender path on my system was “/usr/sbin/udp-sender”

The path that is set within config.class.php is:

define('UDPSENDERPATH', '/usr/local/sbin/udp-sender');

I ran the following and restarted the FOGMulticastManager to resolve:

sudo ln -s /usr/sbin/udp-sender /usr/local/sbin/udp-sender

And we have logs now! Time to begin multicast testing 🥳

I did a fresh install utilizing Debian 13 and the current Dev branch of FOG and received the same error.
