      @george1421 I was trying to get you to read my mind. This is super new to me and I am not sure what I had to look for. The wiki walkthroughs are def not fool proof and super vague in places. I did look in the BIOS and i can set it to UEFI only, legacy only, both, legacy first, UEFI first etc. I will try whatever you suggest.

        @george1421 sounds good. I have a bunch of screen shots. I will send them shortly.

          As @george1421 is suggesting, the bootfile is up to you and your needs.

          Most people start using undionly.kpxe (this is the most generic and tends to work for most systems which is why it’s suggested even in the installer).

          That said, this is not a “hard” thing, just a basis to start with.

          With more and more systems coming defaulted with UEFI enabled, you may need to use ipxe.efi to boot things.

          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)

            @Tom-Elliott ! Ok, so the laptop boots, and gets to the white FOG project screen. I had tried doing full inventory and I get a bunch of errors/info, resulting in a failed task.

            I tried uploading images, but it keeps saying something went wrong while parsing server response.

            So the first set of errors says: ERROR parsing subspaces from PCCT
            Then UDHCPC: sending discover, no lease failing, Failed to get an IP via DHCP, check setup and try again.

            Then it goes to generating new host keys, running post init scripts.

            Then Attempting to register host…Failed.
            An error has occurred. Cannot register host. (/bin.fog.auto.reg)
            Args passed:

            I realize that is a ton of info but I do not know which part of it is relevant.

            I can email screenshots if its easier?

              @cjesso OK you have 2 issues here. One is a bug in 1.4.1 and the second we will focus on in a minute.

              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!

                Please look at:

                FOG Configuration Page->FOG Settings->General Settings->FOG_WEB_ROOT

                I’m going to surmize that it’s basically set as WEB_ROOT. Edit it to read /fog/

                    Does the network switch where this target computer is connected, have spanning tree turned on and its not using one of the fast spanning tree protocols?

                      Still a bug, you need to fix what Tom posted. There was an issue setting up the database that will cause the checkin issue.

                      As for posting images. I use firefox and just drag and drop the images from my desktop to the FOG editor.

                              @cjesso So right now FOG_WEB_ROOT == /fog/ Did you do a fresh install of fog 1.4.1 or was it upgraded to 1.4.1?

                                  @cjesso Very interesting, what we posted was the exact cause of that check in message on the client.

                                  Have you attempted again to pxe boot since you updated to 1.4.2?

                                    @george1421 yes and actually i did a fresh install of 1.4.2. I decided to wipe everything and start from scratch.

                                      @george1421 question about the server install process…if i am not using FOG for DHCP, do i enter the DNS address during setup? or will that be provided by my DHCP server? If not, where can i verify that DNS address is entered on the FOG server

                                        I had an IM session with the OP.

                                        this is what was posted in chat as the error message [when i say Perform full host registration and inventory, i get "Error parsing PCC subspaces from PCCT]
