CentOS 7 Problems

Dino_Nerd · Jun 20, 2017, 10:25 PM

followed the steps found here: https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=CentOS_7#Installing_CentOS_7

to install fog on CentOS 7

some system information:

The problems are these

no background image on the menu, perhaps there is one and I just haven’t set it. Is there a wiki page on setting this up in CentOS?

Unable to register the host, claims there is no bzImage

Thanks in advance

@Dino_Nerd Please open the following URL in your browser (correct IP for FOG server) and post the full text here: http://192.168.0.x/fog/service/ipxe/boot.php

Is this a uef system? If that is the case you may not get the pretty FOG background in the iPXE menu.

Also did you remember to disable selinux (actually set to permissive)? You should also disable firewalld.

I agree with Sebastian, call that url with a browser and post it here.

Also confirm that bzImage exists in /var/www/html/fog/service/ipxe directory.

@Dino_Nerd Doesn’t look too bad Can you access/download the picture (http://192.168.0.15/fog/service/ipxe/bg.png) or the kernel (http://192.168.0.15/fog/service/ipxe/bzImage) from your browser?

As George said, check the directory on your FOG server: ls -al /var/www/fog/service/ipxe

@Dino_Nerd Were you able to complete the steps that Sebastian requested

@Dino_Nerd Can you access/download the picture (http://192.168.0.15/fog/service/ipxe/bg.png) or the kernel (http://192.168.0.15/fog/service/ipxe/bzImage) from your browser?

If you can then the web bits are in place and correct.

Just to be sure you did set selinux to permissive right?

yes,

@george1421

Is there a solution to this?
I’d be very surprised if debian was more stable than a RHEL based OS.

@Dino_Nerd I’ll ask the same question yet again

yes and yes.
Sorry I thought I already answered this but I guess I hadn’t.

I also reinstalled as BIOS machine instead of UEFI
My currently running FOG server is CENTOS 7 BIOS. I updated the requested files below

Tom Elliott · Jun 27, 2017, 7:31 PM

Are you doing any weird redirects? For example FOG is expecting to look to /var/www/html/fog (http://SomeIP/fog/)
But you have it set to go: http://someIP and it’s passing you to the fog site?

Tom Elliott · Jun 27, 2017, 7:32 PM

Also can you please check FOG Configuration Page->FOG Settings->Web Server->FOG_WEB_ROOT and make sure it’s not set to WEB_ROOT, aka please set to /fog/

Tom Elliott · Jun 27, 2017, 7:34 PM

The really feels like a double installation almost. Though I don’t know quite how to describe it.

I’ve fresh installed CentOS with fog at least 5 times now and keep getting the same result
I attempted a fog installation with Archlinux as well and got this same result.
by fresh install, I mean wiping the hard drive completely and installing a brand new OS, then installing fog

This is a clean install, I haven’t changed any settings that aren’t stock
