      @Tywyn Did you install as server or storage node?

      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!

      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)

        @Tywyn There’s an error_logs folder in the fogproject/bin folder (where you extracted the download). There will be a log file of the most recent installation, there’s probably some more detailed information in there.

            Hm hm … thought over to reinstall about an hour ago but aborted the reinstall. It seems, that this try overwrote the log-files from the last install. So I have none from my orignal installation.

            Maybe I should do another, clean reinstallation.
            Is it just the sudo ./installscript.sh? Or do I have to remove some files/databases?

            Do I have to set router address for DHCP-Server to 192.168.100.1 ?

            Are those settings then correct:

             * Here are the settings FOG will use:
 * Base Linux: Debian
 * Detected Linux Distribution: Debian GNU/Linux
 * Server IP Address: 192.168.100.1
 * Server Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
 * Interface: enp3s1
 * Installation Type: Normal Server
 * Internationalization: 0
 * Image Storage Location: /images
 * Using FOG DHCP: Yes
 * DHCP router Address: 192.168.100.1

            Interface enp3s1 is the one, which listens to 192.168.100.1

              @Tywyn The router address should be the address of the router, it’s unlikely to be the FOG server. This is information used by the DHCP server (which will run on the FOG server in your case it seems) to inform DHCP clients of where the router is they should use.

              You can change this information in /opt/fog/.fogsettings

                Just a small amendment to Quazz’s post.

                You can / fix change this information in /opt/fog/.fogsettings and then just rerun the installer. No need to do a clean install

                    no /opt/fog/.fogsettings == no installer finish.

                    I have done that a few times where I use putty for installation and want to copy the url out of the putty window and I hit crtl-c to copy (which is the wrong keystroke for linux and the installer aborts).

                      Additional info about installing on debian 9.0.0: It seems, that /sbin/ifconfig is not installed by default anymore, but the installer looks for it.
                      So you have to install net-tools.

                        @Tywyn it only uses ifconfig if needed. We try ip addr too

                            @george1421 More specifically CTRL+C tries to abort the current command/script in terminal, this is also true on Windows. (making it one of the more confusing key strokes)

                                I’m guessing you deleted your message because you found the .fogsettings file after all.

                                As for your DHCP concerns, this might be because your router is also handing out DHCP information.

                                If you cannot modify your router’s DHCP settings to hand out TFTP/PXE bootfiles and if you cannot turn it off, then you should like into using ProxyDHCP

                                  @Quazz You are right. I was looking in /etc/fog (for what reason ever :))
                                  There is no router involved.
                                  I have the fog-server connected to a switch (cisco SF100D-05) and my test-client connected to the same switch.
                                  Strange thing is: in the beginning I got ip-adresses on pxe boot via dhcp.
                                  Now not anymore. But: starting Windows and setting network to use dhcp immediatly gets an ip address.
                                  dhcp-Server is the fog-server

                                    @Tywyn Would it be possible to provide a screenshot of the client failing to get an IP?

                                        @Tywyn This might be relevant for your situation:

                                        Either that, or try and get a “dumb” switch and see if that works.

                                          Replaced the cicso switch by an tp-link switch (Easy Smart Switch TL-SG108E).

                                          Same thing. No ip-Addresses anymore …

                                            @Tywyn Can you communicate from the client to the server? (ping and ftp for example)

                                            Another possibility for why it’s not working might be the firewall on debian. You could turn it off for testing.

                                            Explains a bit how to set it up so you can still use it.
