Unable to do a host registration

Tom Elliott

Can you get to the GUI?

JohnK

It’s probarly is not related to your case, but in my situation I noticed that the default 3 seconds timer before booting to the OS was very short so I increased it to 10 seconds so i have some time to take it off the timer when entering the menu.

joacliba

I can go through the menu options, but when I select “quick or full registration” nothing happens, just the system boots.

BPSTravis

As Tom asked, can you get to the web UI?

joacliba

Oh, sorry, I thought he asked for menu UI. Yes, I have access to web UI.

Tom Elliott

Can you get a copy of the apache error logs specifically related to the time between trying to access a menu action?

There appears to be an awful lot of “SIGTERM, shutting down” but everything looks fine from there.

Do me a favor and go to the page:

Is that the information you asked for?

Thank you

Tom Elliott

That is the info.

Sorry been busy. I was actually hoping for it to return a blank page.

I think I am having the same issue as joacliba. I just upgraded FOG from version 0.32 to 1.2.0 on a computer running Debian 6.0.10. Upon booting a machine to the PXE menu, I attempt to register the machine to the FOG database, but the “Quick Host Registration and Inventory” option is no longer on the menu and none of the options currently on the menu seem to perform this function. I have been searching the wiki and forums for a solution, but I have been unable to find what I need. Is there a way to add this option back to the PXE menu, or at the very least, perform the same function with another PXE menu option?

Having read through the previous posts, I am including the information from my server that was requested of joacliba from his server.

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

Tom Elliott

From what I’m seeing, the host is registered.

I don’t know why it failed installing tftp, but from the boot menu, the host is already registered so you wouldn’t see the quick reg and inventory option.

pjacksn

For this particular host, you are correct. I was using this host for testing purposes only. However, if it was not already registered, there is no option, as far as I have been able to tell, on the PXE menu to register and inventory the host. The “Quick Registration and Inventory” option was on the PXE menu when I was running FOG 0.32, but it is no longer there after the upgrade to 1.2.0.

Wolfbane8653

So again can you post the exact same thing [U][I][B]BUT with this BAD HOST[/B][/I][/U]

pjacksn

It seems, if I understood the original post correctly, that we appear to be missing the actual issue. If I misunderstood the original post, then I apologize for muddying the waters. The issue I am having, the same issue to which I believe the original post refers, has been stated twice in my earlier posts.

In my most recent post, I stated:
The “Quick Registration and Inventory” option was on the PXE menu when I was running FOG 0.32, but it is no longer there after the upgrade to 1.2.0.

In my original post, I asked:
Is there a way to add this option back to the PXE menu, or at the very least, perform the same function with another PXE menu option?

Again, I thank you in advance for any help you may provide.

Tom Elliott

Can you provide the boot.php output using the Mac of that particular host?

pjacksn

OK. It looks like my issue was user error and ignorance. I believe my installation is doing what I need it to do. The first problem was that I was used to all hosts booting to the same PXE menu, as was the case in version 0.32. When I deleted the registration for my test host, I got a different menu, which contained the Quick Registration and Inventory option that I needed. So, for anyone else out there upgrading from version 0.32, with the new version, unregistered hosts boot to one menu, and registered hosts boot to a different menu. The next issue was getting it configured properly. Thanks again for your assistance.

joacliba

Well, I tried to boot another pcs with the same behaviour: When I click on “registration” menu option the system reboots. [S]But, if I try to boot on a virtualbox virtual machine, that option gives me a “FATAL: INT18: BOOT FAILURE” error. [/S](ops, is an Virtualbox error…). I don’t know what is happening. I tried to reinstall fog without success.

Any idea what is wrong?
