@Tom-Elliott

Should have clarified, just realized this is centos 6.8

[Tom Elliott]

Doesn’t matter.

How are you installing FOG 1.3.0? I need exact details, such as what you’re using to get the latest and greatest.

See, fog installs a specific repository and uses that repository to install php packages. The fact that you are only ever getting php 5.3 is really off.

You might need to run: yum -y remove --erase php*

@Tom-Elliott

Was told this was a centos 7 server, in fact this is centos 6.8

[finvader]

@Tom-Elliott

Yum is only giving me 5.3.3

[finvader]

@Tom-Elliott

yum install git -y
cd ~
mkdir git
cd git
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/FOGProject/fogproject.git
cd fogproject/bin
./installfog.sh

[Tom Elliott]

@finvader if you run:

yum -y update php* --enablerepo=remi,remi-php56

[finvader]

@Tom-Elliott i now have php 5.5 the command you posted did not work correctly, i wget the the remi repo and it gave me remi-php55. Is that good enough?

[Tom Elliott]

It should be sure.

[finvader]

OK, so the installation using php5.5 worked succesfully, rebooted and tried to download image to a machine and encountered a chain load error and could not boot.
http://172.16.61.17/fog/service/ipxe/boot.php …Input/output error

Could not boot: Input/output error
Chainloading failed, hit ‘s’ for the ipxe shell; reboot in 10 seconds

[Tom Elliott]

This is why I’m not a fan of isolated fog servers. I’m not saying they shouldn’t be around, but there’s too much 'tis for 'tat kind of stuff going on.

Please check your /etc/httpd/conf.d/fog.conf file.

Where it says ServerName 127.0.0.1 change to read as ServerName 172.16.61.17 and restart httpd with: service httpd restart, Then pxe booting should work properly (hopefully).

Now I am here.

@finvader Try restarting nfs service?

service nfs restart

@Tom-Elliott

As of now, I am scraping the fix on this one. some of the files are owned fog.apache, some are root.root, permissions are wrong all over the place.

Going to attempt to put a clean fog install on a new centos 7 machine.

[finvader]

Thanks to all of you for your time. I know this is a rough one, at least for me.

So is reinstalled on a fresh centos 7.2 machine and I am getting tftp timeout issues. I installed using my corporate network of 10.x.x.x and I then went in attempted to change over to 172.x.x.x but there seems to be alot of places the IP gets stored. Think I will build a centos 6.8 and just use 1.2.0 as its all contained and doesnt need to talk back to the net. I can at least control the IPs etc, as I am not an expert in linux, php, apache, fog, etc.

I just need a server running asap, then I can go back and build the updated trunk as I do wish to have the new features, but right now we are down hard in our lab.

@finvader You are so close I hate to see you back track now. @Wayne-Workman has a script for a portable fog server that will fix all of the bits with the IP address once 1.3.0 is at the right IP address.

But that elusive /tftpboot/default.ipxe contains one of the places where the IP address is hardcoded. There is also in the storage node and then in the FOG configuration setting in the web gui

[finvader]

@george1421
Would love to have that script. I am not giving up on this one. Will be at this first thing in the morning. Gotta go home and feed the kids.

Let me know how I can get that script you mentioned. I did check the default.ipxe and it was good to go.
