      how long do the clients take before they timeout? how long do they normally sit at the network boot screen before they pick up the network boot file?

        My basic guess.

        Option 67/filename is still set to pxelinux.0. In FOG 1.x.x, the file name should be changed to undionly.kpxe.

        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

          Yeah I updated it to the undionly.kpxe when I did the upgrade normally it boots right away into the fog menu takes like 2 to 3 seconds but when it goes south after about 20 seconds it times out. Now I am starting to believe the problem is server related I got one machine to image by restarting the fog server it seems that apache2 is randomly crashing but only on certain things it appears everything is working till you log into the fog server and there is a ton of errors. I am using Ubuntu 14.04LTS is there a different version I should be using or a different OS? We have been using this for 4 to 5 years now and this is the only hic up we have ever seen this is an excellent product especially when you have no budget.

          Ubuntu 14.04.5 LTS 64bit

            i would recommend almost any other version of Ubuntu over 14.04 LTS. many people have gotten fog to work fine on it, but many people haven’t as well. i personally use Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and have had very few issues.

              Just for future reference you will see changing this dhcp option in the wiki guide to upgrade from 0.32 to 1.x.x. You may want to reference this for other changes.

              Ubuntu 14.04 is known for randomly crashing apache2 and tftp. I believe they have released updates to correct this. Try doing:
              [CODE]sudo apt-get update
              sudo apt-get upgrade
              reboot[/CODE]
              This should update all your packages. [U]Hopefully[/U] this doesn’t break anything.

                Yeah before the upgrade I was using 12.04 but thought it would be safe to update the server as well I was suspecting it was the problem but its so hit and miss it was making it tough to trouble shoot.

                  Yeah if this doesn’t work I will make a new server using 12.04 its what I used in the pass and it worked flawlessly. Didn’t think that would be such a big issue.

                    Hopefully this will help you with some questions on your OS decisions.

                      most of those are pretty outdated, and only have instructions for installing 0.32

                        Well so far it’s looking like the updates may have fixed my issues I haven’t had a TFTP timeout since the update so I will keep you posted if it starts up again.

                          Well definitely spoke to soon even after the updates I am still forced to run this command every so often “restart tftpd-hpa” which fixes the issue usually for about an hour sometimes a lot less I will be making a new install using 12.04.4 LTS server I haven’t heard anything bad about that one.

                            I was on Ubuntu before switching to Debian and had to run the “restart tftp-hpa” command on a regular basis.
