      So,
      I have about 30 PC’s linked to my fog server, all windows 10. I have the fog client installed (v.0.11.16).

      Up to a a while ago, I could create a deploy task and the client would automatically reboot to receive the new image. Imaging still works fine, but the client needs to be manually rebooted.

      Somehow, the fogclient does not seem to receive or execute the reboot command.

      Where do I start with debugging this?

        @palloquin Take a look at the log file in the Windows PCs. It’s usually in C:\fog.log. Post the last 100 lines of the log here in the forum.

        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

            Those are the relevant lines frm the log. Please check the apache and PHP-FPM error logs (see my signature) to find out what is causing the HTTP 500 internal server error.

            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)

              @sebastian-roth Thanks for your help! that solved it:

              in www-error.log I have and endless list of these errors:

              [28-Jan-2021 11:23:41 UTC] PHP Fatal error:  Uncaught Exception: Error multiple hosts returned for list of mac addresses in /var/www/html/fog/lib/fog/hostmanager.class.php:209

              looking at the date in c:\fog.log (or access_log on the server)

              http://172.16.1.2/fog/management/index.php?sub=requestClientInfo&mac=00:FF:3E:84:3E:C1|40:A8:F0:61:47:B3&newService&json

              We see two macs being posted. One this the mac of acual NIC in the machine, the other is for a VPN client.
              The MAC for the VPN client is identical on all machines, and, by mistake, that mac got linked to a host in FOG. I removed the incorrect MAC from the host config and things started working again!

              thanks again!

                Yeah, we have seen this a couple of times. There is an option in the FOG web UI to prevent from certain MAC addresses to be auto-registered by the fog-client: FOG Configuration -> FOG Settings -> FOG Client - Host Register -> QUICKREG PENDING MAC FILTER (Though I do remember there was an issue with exactly this option that we fixed not too long ago. Just found it. The issue makes it impossible to use wildcard MACs but a full MAC should still work with FOG 1.5.7. With FOG 1.5.9 wildcards can be used again.)

                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)
