DHCP issue PXE-E51
-
@slashdotpwn Then simply re-run the installer and make sure you say
y(yes) when it asks you if it should setup DHCP! -
Okay now when I try to run the installer it says a previous version of fog settings is there. When I go to /opt/fog/ I see nothing.
-
@slashdotpwn In Linux files starting with a dot are “hidden”. So you need to use the
-aoption withlsto actually see it.ls -al /opt/fog/should show the file!In case you want to edit it using a GUI editor you probably need to fiddle with the file explorer options to make it show hidden files.
-
Okay I was able to use CHOWN to take control and edit the file. Rerunning the installer. Wish me luck.
-
@slashdotpwn On the console run
sudo chmod 666 /opt/fog/.fogsettings && sudo chmod 777 /opt/fog/(not nice but should fix this for you!) -
Even after changing the fogsettings file it skipped the dhcp setup
-
@slashdotpwn How do you run the installer? Best if you switch to the proper root account for running it. I’d say, remove the config ands start over:
sudo su - rm /opt/fog/.fogsettings cd /dir/where/fog/is cd bin ./installfog.sh -
Okay retrying the install now. Will let you know the results. Thanks for your patience by the way. I am usually pretty good with this kind of stuff.
-
When setting up the DHCP. It said no router address found. I am setting it up as a stand alone. What should I put in this case.
-
@slashdotpwn What do you mean by standalone? Don’t you have a router/gateway in your network to access the internet? Just put in this address when the installer asks you for it.
-
It isn’t connecting to the internet though. I am setting a static IP and connecting to it that way.
-
Okay so I found out that dhcp was turned off. It looks like my dhcpd.conf file is maybe wrong. It looks like it isn’t assigning ip addresses. I am leaving the office for tonight. I will be back in the morning to hopefully figure this out.

@slashdotpwn said in DHCP issue PXE-E51:

This doesn’t look right! What IP address does your FOG server have? Edit the dhcpd.conf file and put your FOG server IP there! Then run
sudo systemctl restart isc-dhcp-server.serviceEDIT: Ahh, wait a second. Looking at the other screenshot I see you have used 192.168.1.1 by intend? Please tell us the IPs you wanna use for your clients and the IP your FOG server has (post a picture of
sudo ip a s). -
@sebastian-roth My fog server is 192.168.1.1

@slashdotpwn Why are the clients in a totally different subnet?
-
@sebastian-roth Okay so I work for a small mobility firm. I came in and they were using Fog to image their machines. I have no experience with this client at all. So when I came in it was not working. So I am not 100% on why things are the way they are I am just trying to figure it out and get it up and running so I can make new images and start from scratch. If I put the fog server on the main network it will cause our techs to not boot properly.
-
I worked with the OP via IM for a bit and we have things working for dhcp. The root cause is the dhcp config file had a wrong subnet scope defined (10.x.x.x) where the fog server was on the 192.168.1.x subnet. Once we got the configuration file fixed the target computers pxe booted without issue. At this point the OP can pxe boot the computers. He has an issue with imported images from FOG 1.2.0, but that is a story for a new thread.
