      I’m a student with 2 notebooks and a switch, nothing more. I have to do this for a project in my school.

        Now we are expunging some information.

        If you are not working with the IT group (they would know where the DHCP server is and what options to change) I would use the proxy DHCP service, this way your network isn’t altered and in order to “fix” any problems that arise by adding a server to your network, could be fixed by turning off the server.

          I get an error “dnsmasq found junk in command line”. What does that mean?

            First,

            Is this going to be a segregated setup? Meaning, does your FOG Server and notebooks need to be on the same network as your main system? Or can you get around with just the FOG Server and notebooks, essentially, on their own network?

            Please help us build the FOG community with everyone involved. It's not just about coding - way more we need people to test things, update documentation and most importantly work on uniting the community of people enjoying and working on FOG! Get in contact with me (chat bubble in the top right corner) if you want to join in.

            Web GUI issue? Please check apache error (debian/ubuntu: /var/log/apache2/error.log, centos/fedora/rhel: /var/log/httpd/error_log) and php-fpm log (/var/log/php*-fpm.log)

            Please support FOG if you like it: https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Support_FOG

              No they don’t have to be on the same network, they can have their own.

                SITD,
                can you post a screenshot of the Host Management page of one of your laptops that you are attempting to PXE boot from?
                It should contain information like Host Name:, MAC address:, Host Image, and the Host OS.

                  What do you mean? I could never connect a laptop to the fog server. I followed a tutorial in the internet and they didn’t show that i have to set something in the Host Management Page

                    When you said this in your original post, “I can reach the management-page of the fog-server from every device.”
                    I took that as you could reach your fog management page from your laptops.
                    It is somewhat difficult to help you with the limited information we have to work with. So sorry if we are fishing for more information in order to help you.
                    [SIZE=3]If your fog server is up and running and setup properly[/SIZE][SIZE=2][SIZE=3], you should be able to boot the notebooks to the short 3 second menu. If you can not get this PXE boot screen, then we need more data from you about your network and your fog server. I am about to head into work so I will check back on this post when I get near my fog server. Can you post the IP address information from your fog server and the notebooks you are trying to PXE boot for me?[/SIZE][IMG]http://fogproject.org/forum/attachments/fog-main-menu-png.62/[/IMG][/SIZE]

                      What I meant is that if I boot from the harddisk of any laptop and I’m connected with the switch where the fogserver is connected I can go on the page 192.168.10.112/fog/management. I didn’t changed any settings or added a host. It’s true, I don’t reach the PXE-Boot screen, it just reads “DHCP…”. What exactly do you need now and where can I find what you need?

                      P.S. I’m sorry if my English isn’t as polite as it should be, I’m still learning English^^ (German is my main language)

                        SITD,

                        I’d recommend uninstalling fog using this: [url]http://fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Uninstall_FOG[/url]

                        After you’re done uninstalling perform a re-install.

                        During installation, don’t have a network cable attached to the system, create an IP Address for your system. (Maybe 192.168.5.1?) leave the DNS IP Address empty. Use the 192.168.5.1 ip address for gateway/router IP Address. During the install, say yes to install DHCP server.

                        Hopefully this helps.

                          SITD,

                          I could tell we had a language barrier.
                          From what you have stated the apache web server portion of your fog server is working fine.
                          I am going to share a document with you that I created doing Fog builds.
                          [url]https://skydrive.live.com/redir?resid=419873F43A535389!3025&authkey=!ANdUmaAeiDiSFk8&ithint=file%2C.docx[/url] It takes you step by step through a fog build.
                          I am not sure with English not being your primary language if it will help at all.
                          Keep us posted and we will keep doing our best to help you get this project done.
