      Just make sure you call the script from fog.postdownload

      ${postdownloadpath}/driverinstall.sh

        Shouldn’t entering echo ${postdownloadpath}/driverinstall.sh on the server output /images/postdownloadscripts/driverinstall.sh, or no? I was having some issues at first and ended up putting the absolute path to rule that out as an issue

          @ArchFan I don’t think so. Not on the server. The client/host during imaging or in the init process itself, yes, the server no.

          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)

            Gotcha - I’ve had some other issues getting it to work as intended, so it probably wasn’t an issue after all. Thanks Tom

              @giejo63 I’m running into the same issues. I have a sysprepped Win 7 image that has the C:\drivers location set to look for drivers. I have the drivers on the FOG server in /images/drivers and the scripts are executable. The postdownload file is set to run the script, and I have SetupComplete.cmd on the image set as described in Andrew’s wiki page.

              Anyone have some ideas?

                Feeling pretty discouraged at the moment 😞

                My postdownloadscript works perfectly unless I use variables, at which point it no longer works. You can see a few of the things I’ve attempted and commented out. Even using ${postdownloadpath} doesn’t seem to work - I can only call my postdownload script if I specify the absolute path. My cabs are in /images/drivers/Win7/. So for the Optiplex 9020M, the location is /images/drivers/Win7/Optiplex 9020M/*.CAB - I’ve also tried Optiplex9020M - still doesn’t work. I’m on Rev 3606, Debian 7

                The only things in /images/postdownloadscripts are fog.postdownload and driverinstall.sh. Permissions on both are 777

                Contents of fog.postdownload:

                #!/bin/sh
                ## This file serves as a starting point to call your custom postimaging scripts.
                ## <SCRIPTNAME> should be changed to the script you're planning to use.
                ## Syntax of post download scripts are
                #. ${postdownpath}<SCRIPTNAME>
                #. ${postdownloadpath}driverinstall.sh
                . /images/postdownloadscripts/driverinstall.sh
                
                

                Contents of driverinstall.sh:

                #!/bin/sh
                
                #This script was adapted from Lee Rowlett's fog.drivers postdownload script (https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/4278/utilizing-postscripts-rename-joindomain-drivers-$
                #This script assumes your image has been modified to look in C:\Windows\Drivers in addition to the default location for Windows drivers (http://technet.microsoft.com/$
                #Make sure this script is called from your fog.postdownload file by adding ${postdownloadpath}/driverinstall.sh to the /images/postdownloadscripts/fog.postdownload fi$
                mkdir /ntfs &>/dev/null; #Create new directory called ntfs and supress any system or error messages
                mount.ntfs-3g /dev/sda2 /ntfs; #Mount the NTFS Windows OS partition to the new ntfs directory
                machine=`dmidecode -s system-product-name`; #Get the model name of the computer being imaged
                #machine=$(dmidecode -s system-product-name)
                #machine=$(echo $machine | tr -d ' ') #Remove the trailing spaces from the model info
                #Get the OS version info and set it equal to the osn variable for later use
                #if [ $osid == "5" ]; then

                #fi
                #osn="Win7"
                mkdir /ntfs/Windows/Drivers &>/dev/null; #Create the C:\Windows\Drivers directory and supress any system or error messages
                echo -e "Extracting Drivers..."; #Tell the user that FOG is extracting the drivers within C:\Windows\Drivers

                echo -e "DONE!"; #Tell the user that FOG has finished copying the drivers and finish the imaging process

                    Debugging 🙂 i found 2 problems:

                    • ${postdownloadpath} variable is not recognized

                    • when i put the full path /images/postdownloadscripts/driverinstall.sh, i have an error which says that /bin/bash^M: bad interpreter. -> i dont have any ^M at the end of the line.

                    Any ideas for the variable and bad interpreter ??
                    Thanks in advance

                      Did you by chance transfer the file from a windows machine? If so you may need to convert line endings.

                      dos2unix /images/postdownloadscripts/driverinstall.sh

                        @cml i will try that. Maybe it comes from a windows machine.
                        Do you konw why i can’t use the ${postdownloadpath} variable ? (my fog server is a ubuntu 14.04)

                          @giejo63 where are you check the variable? Is it on the server or the system downloading the image?

                              I mean where are you checking the variable being set?

                              Are you checking directly on the fog server with echo $postdownloadscript or are you checking on the system receiving the image?

                                @Tom-Elliott as it is in the fog.postdownload script, i think it is the system receiving the image
