/default.ipxe... Connection timed out | fog_1.0.1 | Ubuntu 14.04 LTS | Winxp32 Vbox Client

[Krisztian Buscsei]

Why it is trying to use the tftp setting from 0.27
I think I was not clear.

I have downloaded a vm 0.27
this one is working fine with the built in dhcp

second virtal machine: ubuntu 14+fog 1.0.1 +proxy dhcp with the settings from the fog wiki
I did not set anything on the tftp, I’ve just modified the proxydhcp…
And there is default.ipxe in the tftpboot folder

Alright, lets go to basics.

Try commenting out the port=0 line in your ltsp.conf file:
[code]#port=0[/code] and restart the service, any luck?

[Krisztian Buscsei]

I think that was a step back, I attached the result [ATTACH]816[/ATTACH]

If I install a fog with the built in dhcp, how can i disable the dhcp after the installation?

[Tom Elliott]

service dhcpd disable?

[Krisztian Buscsei]

Thank you

I will start again, but now, with fog 0.32 with built in dhcp, if it is working, I will disable it, and install the proxydhcp… and I come back tomorrow

Thank you for your patience

I’ve got an error message:
setting up and starting vsftp server … failed!
what does it mean?

[Tom Elliott]

it means it failed to start and setup the vsftp server.

I don’t know why, but that’s what it means.

[Tom Elliott]

when you ran the installer, did you run:
[code]sudo ./installfog.sh[/code]
or did you run:
[code]./installfog.sh[/code] as a normal user?

[Krisztian Buscsei]

[CODE]sudo ./installfog.sh[/CODE]

Good morning

I am here again

So I re installed everything again, ubuntu 13.10 fog 1.0.1
First with dhcp: it was working
Second step: I removed the isc-dhcp-server: it was not booting at all
third step : I installed the dnsmasq, and I configed as it was on the fog wiki : it start booting, but connection time out again at the default.ipxe

so it has to be the dnsmasq

[Krisztian Buscsei]

I followed this [URL=“http://fogproject.org/forum/threads/dnsmasq-help-for-ipxe-stuff.10222/#post-24442”]DNSMasq Help for iPXE stuff[/URL]

but now, it can’t find the boot.php
[url]http://192.168.1.17/fog/service/ipxe/boot.php[/url]

[Tom Elliott]

The ProxyDHCP that’s handed out is within the same subnet that your FOG Server is attached to?

[Krisztian Buscsei]

Hi

It look like, I found a solution.
so.
ubuntu 13.10
fog 1.0.1
Installed with the built in dhcp server
After I disabled…
After Install the dnsmasq
Configured as the fog wiki wrote it.
and I am not sure(I did to many things) but probably these two lane:
enable-tftp
dhcp-range=192.168.1.0,proxy,255.255.255.0

But anyway I attach the complete configuration file

Thank you for your help

I’ve just forgot this:

I started a fog server build for a client and this time around i got stuck again on the default.ipxe timeout.

I was able to tftp the default.ipxe file from windows and so i restarted the tftpd-hpa daemon, rebooted my laptop, and it started imaging.

I added this to my notes for next time (grabbed from somewhere else online)

I too am having this issue on fedora 21 system. I can transfer the file via tftp from command line without error. However, when attempting to network boot ipxe as per the new method it reports a /default.ipxe… timeout error. This happen in virtualbox vm (network adapter is set to bridged and intel chipset emulation) and with my HP Pavilion laptop. I can boot the old method (pxe) as per fog 0.32. I’ve edited my /etc/dnsmasq.conf file to provide two network boot options in the boot menu (press f8 for boot menu) with the default being ipxe boot. Since I can netboot using the older method and transfer files via tftp I tend to think the setup for DHCP and tftp is functioning normally.

I’ve checked the messages log file for errors and it’s not reporting any. The httpd access log doesn’t show any requests for the files it’s supposed to transfer via http either. It leads me to believe that it’s not progressing past the tftp transfer stage and into the http transfer stage.

I’m using Fedora 21 also. I wrote up some instructions for installing in Hyper-V (might very closely apply to VMware). These apply to revision 2922 and up.

The instructions are here:

At the bottom, you’ll find troubleshooting help (just a starting place, really).

I think you might find it to be a lot of help.

I’ve read this through already actually, thank you. I would suggest adding this little bit to your howto however.
Make sure you are storing dnsmasq configuration into /etc/dnsmasq.conf and NOT /etc/dnsmasq.d/ltsp.conf location.
In desperation a few days ago I moved /etc/dnsmasq.d/ltsp.conf to /etc/dnsmasq.conf and found some success. Seems that contrary to documenatation it does NOT parse the ltsp.conf file…

for others reading this:
selinux has been set to “permissive” and also tried with “disabled” same results
systemctl disable firewalld.service has been executed
I’ve tried this using the xinetd tftp-server and using dnsmasq’s built in tftpserver

It shouldn’t matter but I DO have 3 nics in this machine (2 built into mobo, and 1 add-on)… all are enabled and functional on same subnet but with using seperate IP’s, none are in bridged mode, or “teaming”.

Glad you liked the howto. I am not sure why the /etc/dnsmasq.d/ltsp.conf didn’t work for you, as that’s what I did on my setup. You are using a newer revision than me so, maybe [URL=‘http://fogproject.org/forum/members/tom-elliott.7271/’][SIZE=11px][U][COLOR=#969696]Tom Elliott[/COLOR][/U][/SIZE][/URL] changed something… not sure. If he confirms, I’ll put notes in the How-To for the newer revision’s config on that part.

By reading through your problem, I was thinking it was a simple password issue, perhaps for the TFTP settings. Maybe the storage management password settings.

I’d recommend disabling SELinux - just to eliminate it from the equation - at least till things are working. Reboot after the change for it to take effect.

Did you run all the systemctl status commands to see if they were all ok?

Also, lately, I’ve read a lot of stuff about how people need to set up “Bridged connections” for the OS that hosts the virtualized FOG box.
