Stop at boot.php when creating capture task

george1421

Before you installed fog, did you set the fog server to have a static IP address?

And the ip address listed in the /tftpboot/default.ipxe points to the IP address of your fog server?

christianu

Yes to all of it - the “//” was not the problem. Yes the servers owns a static ip and is behind a dhcp - all options are set (i already saw your bootmenu)

But i found something else for now

I called the url with the MAC address the not working host and i got just these lines

#!ipxe
set fog-ip 192.168.22.76
set fog-webroot fog
set boot-url http://${fog-ip}/${fog-webroot}

Than i remembered that i created an image pull task for this host - deleted the task and the boot menu is back again.

george1421

@christianu So its solved or just different results?

christianu

When i create a new capture task its the same error again. But i have to change the title apparently

Wayne Workman

Make sure apache2 is running. I had an instance this morning on one server where it (very unusually) did not start up automatically after a reboot.

christianu

Yeah but the management console is running

george1421

Does the apache error log give you any indication of the error? It sounds like the deploy is failing to create the required ipxe fog menu.

Because this is wrong, it should give you the full path to something

set fog-ip 192.168.22.76
set fog-webroot fog
set boot-url http://${fog-ip}/${fog-webroot}

@christianu said in Stop at boot.php when creating capture task:

okay i will change the default.ipxe (it should not help)

Ah - its a Debian and completely fresh.

@george1421 A screen full of text

Can you copy/paste this so we can see it?

christianu

This is what i get when i call it without capture task

@christianu Does the issue only happen on upload/download? Can you queue a task for this MAC and then see what this URL produces?

christianu

Yeah just the first 4 lines

#!ipxe
set fog-ip 192.168.22.76
set fog-webroot fog
set boot-url http://${fog-ip}/${fog-webroot}

george1421

@christianu When you get these 4 lines. What does the apache error log say. Not sure where it is on debian, let me see if I can find Sebastian’s signature.

[edit]Web GUI issue? Please take a look at your apache error log file (debian/ubuntu: /var/log/apache2/error.log, centos/fedora/rhel: /var/log/httpd/error_log)

Tail the above log file. My bet there is an error thown.

christianu

This comes when creating the task

PHP Warning: curl_setopt_array() expects exactly 2 parameters, 1 given in /var/www/html/fog/lib/fog/fogurlrequests.class.php on line 107, referer: http://fog.mgmt.offber/fog/management/index.php?node=host&sub=deploy&id=2&type=2

christianu

And this when calling the url

That may be what is know and an unexpected programming occurrence. @Senior-Developers ?

christianu

Actually this is strange

 parameter 1 to be resource, null given, Host: fogserver, Username: fog

“fogserver” is in this case the old fogserver ip instead of the new one - where can i change this?

Update: Found it - the nfsGroubmembers where still using the old ip.

On a side note - your boot menu config is gone (no bg nothing just blue and red) where can i restore this with bg and all?

In the code you posted below you can see that the image filename is missing:

:get_console
console --picture http://192.168.22.76/fog/service/ipxe/ --left 100 --right 80 && goto console_set || goto alt_console
:MENU

Check FOG_IPXE_BG_FILE in the FOG configuration on the web GUI.

christianu

Yeah the settings are completely gone … even with the colors

christianu

You can actually solve this issue - the problem was the wrong ip address - thanks guys for the support
