I just wanted to let you guys know after a few more tries we were able to get FOG working inside our environment.

@Dalton-Childers How? What did you do?

The credit can really go to my boss, but this is how it ended up working.

For the FOG setup on Ubuntu 1.2.0

Follow this guide: https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=Using_FOG_with_an_unmodifiable_DHCP_server/_Using_FOG_with_no_DHCP_server

• Skip the “Additonal Steps for 12.04.4, 12.04.5, 14.04, 14.10” section

The ltsp.conf should look like this:

port=0
log-dhcp
tftp-root=/tftpboot
dhcp-boot=undionly.kpxe,{server name},{static server ip}
dhcp-no-override
pxe-prompt="Press F8 for boot menu", 3
pxe-service=X86PC, "Boot from network", undionly
dhcp-range={static server ip},proxy

Make the following changes to the interface order:

eth*
lo.inet*
lo.dnsmasq
lo.pdnsd
lo.!(pdns|pdns-recursor)
lo
tun*
tap*
hso*
em+([0-9])?(_+([0-9]))*
p+([0-9])p+([0-9])?(_+([0-9]))*
ath*
wlan*
ppp*
*

Without these changes DNSMASQ would break DNS lookups.

Fix MySQL otherwise it’ll wig out on you.

• Edited /opt/fog/.fogsettings

snmysqluser="root"
snmysqlhost="localhost"

• Set the database password
• Ran sudo dpkg-reconfigure mysql-server-5.5

Fog services weren’t starting automatically:

• Changed /etc/rc.local to look like this:

sleep 10
service FOGMulticastManager restart
service FOGScheduler restart
service FOGImageReplicator restart
exit 0

For some reason this made it work finally.

Also, in the file “dnsmasq.conf” at the end of the file uncomment the conf-dir.

It should look like this:

# Include another lot of configuration options.
#conf-file=/etc/dnsmasq.more.conf
conf-dir=/etc/dnsmasq.d
