        @george1421 Hi George,Ii have extracted the zip renamed the old one on fog, about to copy over but the filenames in the extracted zip does not contain refind.efi however is does contain
        Refind_ia32.efi
        refind_aa64.efi
        refind_x64.efi
        I suppose that’s 32 bit, arm64 and X64, I thought about changing Refind_x64 to refind.efi, however I have no idea how fog makes this decision so don’t want to do the wrong thing, could you please advise?

          @Trev-lchs Right, unfortunately we didn’t use the original name. Rename refind_x64.efi to refind.efi and give it a try.

          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 Hi Sebastian, , Permission denied.
              Error code: 3
              Error message from server: Permission denied

              this when attempting to copy from local PC to server using winscp
              I am obviously doing something wrong, any advice would be truly welcome.

                @Trev-lchs Which Linux OS do you use?

                Run chown apache:apache /var/www/html/fog/service/ipxe/refind.efi for RedHat/CentOS systems or chown www-data:www-data /var/www/html/fog/service/ipxe/refind.efi on Debian/Ubuntu Linux.

                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)

                  @Trev-lchs Ahhh, I miss-read your message. You get the error when trying to upload the file to the server?! Which user do you use to upload the file? Maybe just upload the file to /tmp and then run the following commands on the console:

                  sudo -i
mv /var/www/html/fog/service/ipxe/refind.efi /var/www/html/fog/service/ipxe/refind.efi.orig
mv /tmp/refind.efi /var/www/html/fog/service/ipxe/
chown www-data:www-data /var/www/html/fog/service/ipxe/refind.efi

                  (For Debian/Ubuntu - if you have CentOS/RHEL, then use the other chown ... command posted a minute ago.

                  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-rothHi Sebastian I thought id take your advise and upgrade to the latest version of fog, I think the gods are against me today any advice on the below would be most welcome

                      The current *fogstorage* database password does not meet high
   security standards. We will generate a new password and update
   all the settings on this FOG server for you. Please take note
   of the following credentials that you need to manually update
   on all your storage nodes' /opt/fog/.fogsettings configuration
   files and re-run (!) the FOG installer:
   
   Press [Enter] to proceed after you noted down the credentials.

OK

                        @Trev-lchs Which Linux OS and version do you have? Kind of looks like Ubuntu 16.04?!?!?!

                              @sebastian-roth Hi Sabastian, thank you so much for the save with fog, it is now back up and I am happy to say we still have the refind issue, happy I can be at that point. On testing it is just saying Chainloading failed , hit S. Should I still rename the file refind_x64.efi to refind.efi and copy that over. I am using the user I would normal use to log into the server with, then I run sudo -s to allow me to do things, the Winscp has the user details that I would normally log into the server with but I guess without sudo -s bit, it wont be able to do anything?

                                  @sebastian-roth I have now carried out everything you have listed and still have the same error with refind Chain loading failed hit s. As this is a new version of fog I will check all the other exit types, you never know!

                                      @sebastian-roth having now tried all the various options of exit in the latest version of FOG I have had no luck, this is with the rEFInd.efi renamed and the latest X64 REFInd file copied over it (0132) and named rEFInd.efi. Should I now revert everything back to standard? Any advice as always gratefully accepted. To note, once it was using the REFInd exit version (the 0132 one) it still hung at initializing

                                          @trev-lchs said in REFInd-Initializing - hangs:

                                          The case of the filenames do actually matter on Linux systems!! Not sure but that could be the problem now.

                                          Beside that it’s very hard to help without knowing what exactly has been done. Maybe run the following commands and post output here so we know what it looks like at the moment:

                                          ls -al /var/www/
ls -al /var/www/html/
ls -al /var/www/html/fog/service/ipxe/
