FOG HELP PLEASE HELP

[jose Santana]

I’m using a lenovo B590, i wipe the hard drive and install Linux 12.04. I’m using a laptop with Linux and a brand new 5 port switch[COLOR=#ff0000] IS THIS CORRECT[/COLOR]? everything is not connected to a network, the Linux SERVER laptop has a CAT5 wired to a switch and from the switch to another laptop that i will be uploading the image and installing the fog client on. [COLOR=#ff0000]is this CORRECT[/COLOR] ? I’m able to install fog using the video tutorial on fog project website. i set my static ip as follow , Ip Address 192.168.1.101 Net mask: 255.255.255.0 gateway 192.168.1.1 and under dns server : 192.168.1.1 and save wired connection [COLOR=#ff0000]is this CORRECT[/COLOR] ? my wireless would usually connect but i remove this connection from the wireless network configuration. [COLOR=#ff0000]is this CORRECT[/COLOR] ? only connection is the wired one i set. i then follow to install fog using sudo,

Here is my Install Setting,
Ip address to be used by this fog server : 192.168.1.101
would you like to set up a router address for the dhcp server : Y
what is the ip address to be used for the router on the dhcp server: 192.168.1.1
would you like to set up a dns address for the dhcp server and client boot image : Y
what is the ip address to be used for the dns on the dhcp server and client boot image: 192.168.1.1
would you like to change the network inter fence from etho : N
Would you like to use fog server for dhcp services : Y

when i install i left all mysql password blank , I’m able to install the server and I’m able to get to the management console, i was able to update the schema. The problem I’m having is when i install the client it asked you for a[COLOR=#ff0000] ip address on the client install wizard I’m unsure what TO PUT HERE , I’ve been putting in 192.168.1.101 IS THIS CORRECT? [/COLOR]

MY MAIN PROBLEM IS WHEN I PXE BOOT MY OTHER MACHINE. When it boots in the in the DHCP when pxe booting I’m able to see some information, ip related but it then starts a [COLOR=#ff0000]tftp and it gives a ERROR Times out[/COLOR]. I’m clueless .WHAT TO DO HERE PLEASE HELP ANY HELP WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED THANK You

IS THERE ANYTHING I MISS DURING THE INSTALL ik you have to gedit the passwords file which i did. I BELIEVE MY SERVER IS SET UP OK BC IM able to get to the management console. or the dhcp is not starting i have been reading the wiki’s and spice but has had no luck fairly new to linux but willing to learn.

If you are running Ubuntu 12.04 and have rebooted your service machine since installing FOG (tftpd-hpa in particular), then the tftp service may not have started properly. Restart the tftpd-hpa service and see if that helps with your issue. Search the forums for problems with tftp and ubuntu 12.04 and you should find all the info you need.

is my hardware set up correctly ? is my static ip configuration good?" thank you

Just in my personal experiences I have never had to set up the DNS and as far as the address for the dhcp server, I always set mine to match the fog address, it works for me. As far as having your fog server on a laptop, you are going to have to run a couple of different commands in the terminal every time you turn on the laptop…

[CODE]sudo stop tftpd-hpa
sudo start tftpd-hpa[/CODE]

this is all going off of my head, try it and see if you have any luck
