      @unknownhost99 Before you go through the process of reinstalling everything. You need to ensure that mysql is configured to allow remote access. Some distros disable remote access to mysql database server for security reasons.

      for example: https://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/how-do-i-enable-remote-access-to-mysql-database-server.html

      You can also test to see if mysql is listening on your fog master server by using this command to see if the port is open on your master fog server.
      netstat -an|grep 3306
      You should see a line that looks like this

      tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:3306            0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN

          i have had an error during my dnsmasq installation and was wondering what the cause might be and if it is a problem before i continue.

          when typing the the sudo make install command from this guide https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/8725/compiling-dnsmasq-2-76-if-you-need-uefi-support/5 it showed the following error
          0_1513067998654_f9925cf4-e70f-4e2e-8e84-f834c4c78cbf.jpg

          any information on the error would be helpfull thanks!

            @unknownhost99 You need to install build dependencies first. sudo apt-get build-dep dnsmasq should do most of that even though you are compiling a different version. If you still have compile issues note down the filename (here idna.h) go to https://www.debian.org/distrib/packages (section “Search the contents of packages”) and search for that file you are missing. Then install the package(s) shown to you by hand - e.g. sudo apt-get install libidn11-dev

            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)

            Please support FOG if you like it: https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Support_FOG

              @unknownhost99 You might want to check with your distribtion’s repo. Many distributions contain dnsmasq 2.76 or newer version already compiled. So these steps may no longer be necessary.

              [edit] I’m not totally sure what I’m looking at, but it does look like there is a debian package that has been already created for you: https://packages.debian.org/stretch/dnsmasq

                  @unknownhost99 Just so I’m clear, you installed your linux distro’s version of dnsmasq? If so you should be able to key in sudo dnsmasq -v That should show you the version of dnsmasq installed.

                  From there, to your second question the ltsp.conf file typically goes in /etc/dnsmasq.d directory. Make sure there are no other .conf files in that directory to cause you pain.

                      @unknownhost99 ok lets backup here.

                      The config file from my post needs to be placed in a file called ltsp.conf (as a standard) The location of the config files for dnsmasq is typically in a directory called /etc/dnsmasq.d

                      Navigate to that directory and do an ls -la to see all files in that directory. If there are any that end in .conf remove them. Create a new file called ltsp.conf in that directory with the following command vi /etc/dnsmasq.d/ltsp.conf and then paste in the contents of my config file. Make sure you replace <fog_server> with the IP address of the your fog server.

                      Save an exit vi

                      Then from the linux command prompt key in dnsmasq -v to ensure you have version 2.76 or later installed. If that returns a successful response then start the service. It appears based on your previous error message that debian 9 is systemd compliant so once dnsmasq is installed you should be able to key in the following commands.

                      systemctl enable dnsmasq
                      then (re)start the service
                      systemctl restart dnsmaq

                        @george1421 i did vi /etc/dnsmasq.d/ltsp.conf and there also was no .conf file except a file called dnsmasq.conf.example Though when i try to save/write the config file it says:‘’ /etc/dnsmasq.d/ltsp.conf’’ E212 Can’t open file for writing

                          @unknownhost99 You may have to use sudo vi /etc/dnsmasq.d/ltsp.conf to get the proper rights to create the file, if you didn’t switch user to root.

                              @unknownhost99 Did you install dnsmasq from your distribution’s repo? I don’t know debian so I can’t give you the exact commands to install (I’m a rhel guy). But /etc/dnsmasq.d is the default configuration directory.

                              Can you confirm that dnsmasq is installed by running this command sudo dnsmasq -v ? It should respond with something that looks like this:

                              Dnsmasq version 2.76  Copyright (c) 2000-2016 Simon Kelley

                                  @unknownhost99 said in Need help making my own Debian 9 FOG server!:

                                  install without uefi support

                                  I don’t understand this, what do you mean you installed without uefi support. What version did you install? Again the command I posted sudo dnsmasq -v will indicate the version.
