FOG Management Console not accessible from other computers.

[jjsplitter]

I will be as brief and detailed as I possibly can.

I am running CentOS 7 with Fog server version 1.4.4 SVN 6077.

The issue I am running into is that on the Fog server itself (10.10.0.65) I can open the management console. When i go any other computer I cannot access the console. I can ping the computer from everyone, just can’t access the console.

There is another issue which I believe is related and that is that when i attempt to do the PXE boot i get the error "http://10.10.0.65/fog/service/ipxe/boot.php/........Connection timed out (http://ipxe.org/4c0a6035). I already checked the “defualt.ipxe” folder and made sure the IP is correctly listed inside.

My assumption is that there is that there is something i missed or overlooked that is preventing other computers on this network from accessing the fog server.

Let me know if there is anything I may have overlooked, ideas, or if you need more info.
Thank you in advance.

@jjsplitter Firewalld, SELinux. The correct configurations for those things is in our CentOS 7 tutorial.

That is the exact tutorial i followed when i was setting up CentOS and FOG. The only part i was not able to complete was:

for service in http https tftp ftp mysql nfs mountd rpc-bind proxy-dhcp samba; do firewall-cmd --permanent --zone=public --add-service=$service;
done

This kept giving me an error of: “Error: INVALID_SERVICE: " " not among existing services”.

My FOG server is also not responsible for DHCP so I am not sure if this is needed either way.

Thank you,
Justin

It looks like the instructions from the wiki came from here: https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/6162/firewall-configuration

If you need to leave firewalld running then you will need to enable exceptions to the block all policy. I know that you have that script, but my guess is that you don’t have samba installed and that is why its failing.

This script

for service in http https tftp ftp mysql nfs mountd rpc-bind proxy-dhcp samba; do firewall-cmd --permanent --zone=public --add-service=$service; done
systemctl restart firewalld.service

can be rewritten as:

firewall-cmd --permanent --zone=public --add-service=http
firewall-cmd --permanent --zone=public --add-service=https
firewall-cmd --permanent --zone=public --add-service=tftp
firewall-cmd --permanent --zone=public --add-service=mysql
firewall-cmd --permanent --zone=public --add-service=nfs
firewall-cmd --permanent --zone=public --add-service=mountd
firewall-cmd --permanent --zone=public --add-service=rpc-bind
firewall-cmd --permanent --zone=public --add-service=proxy-dhcp
firewall-cmd --permanent --zone=public --add-service=samba

Again I think its the samba that is causing the query to fail

@george1421 Holy mother of everything. That worked. I can access the management console from my own computer now.

Now to test and see if the images will work now.

Thank you x1000!

@george1421 I am now able to get past the other error during the PXE boot and I can see the FOG menu screen (where you deploy images and or create host registrations).

You’re the best!

@jjsplitter Since you still had firewalld enabled, did you remember to set selinux to permissive? If not you will have a sad time when you try to capture an image.
