      Hello World 🙂
      New with FOG here and im trying to use it for pxe boot. I do find tutorials online for older versions mentioning that the images should go under root-tftpboot but on the new version the directories are different. so where do i upload iso’s for pxe in this version.

      thank you for your help in advance

        @petec It depends on the FOG server’s linux os, but most are now in /tftpboot directory.

        Please help us build the FOG community with everyone involved. It's not just about coding - way more we need people to test things, update documentation and most importantly work on uniting the community of people enjoying and working on FOG!

          @petec I think the answer depends on how you want to PXE boot the stuff. If you want to use slow TFTP, then they go in /tftpboot but there are other options, like HTTP and if you are pretty keen you can even extract the ISO and make it PXE boot over NFS. So it all depends.

          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

              @petec /tftpboot is the right directory then. But as Sebastian said, there are many methods of pxe booting once you get iPXE loaded into memory. The PXE Rom only supports tftp protocol, so iPXE will need to be transferred via tftp. Once iPXE is running then you can use other protocols like NFS and HTTP(S), which are much faster protocols than tftp.

                depends on how you wa

                I think i figured out how the directories work. Now i upload and extract Gparted inside /tftpboot/gparted and i set these parameters according to a tutorial i found online:

                kernel fog/gparted/live/vmlinuz
                append initrd=fog/gparted/live/initrd.img boot=live union=aufs noswap noprompt vga=788 fetch=http://10.0.0.2/fog/filesystem.squashfs

                The client gives me the following error:

                fog/gparted/live/vmlinuz…ok
                append command not found

                Any tutorials or examples for 1.5.9 that work?

                  append initrd=fo

                  This is a syslinux command not iPXE. You want imgargs keyword for kernel parameters. https://ipxe.org/cmd/imgargs

                    But I can also tell you this is wrong too. I would rewrite it as

                    kernel /fog/gparted/live/vmlinuz
                    initrd fog/gparted/live/initrd.img
                    imgargs vmlinuz initrd=initrd.img boot=live union=aufs noswap noprompt vga=788 fetch=http://10.0.0.2
                    

                    This command might still give you some problems if you don’t have what its wanting to fetch in the right location.

                    You might want to review this post: https://forums.fogproject.org/post/140524 since it appears similar to your imgargs

                      /fog/filesystem.squashfs

                      so here is the current config, with all the paths checked.

                      kernel /fog/gparted/live/vmlinuz
                      initrd /fog/gparted/live/initrd.img

                      Error

                      Could not select: Exec format error

                      im kinda lost. Most of the info online are for the older versions.

                        @petec That message “Exec format error” is because something is wrong with vmlinuz. Either its not in the right path, the file is corrupt, or something else was keeping it from starting up.

                        Confirm that your kernel is in
                        /tftpbboot/fog/gparted/live on the fog server

                        you can also use the linux command file /tftpbboot/fog/gparted/live/vmlinuz to read the kernel header.

                        Remember for the different protocols, they have different doc roots on the FOG server.

                        tftp: /tftoboot
                        nfs: /images
                        http: /var/www (for debian variants) /var/www/html (for rhel variants)

                            @petec You are seeing it transfer the kernel and the init? Do you have a screenshot of the error (clear picture taken with mobile phone)? If the path is right and the kernel is right, ipxe should at least try to boot it.

                                @petec Your screen shot doesn’t show its downloading the initrd image before it tries to boot the kernel. That is strange. The kernel should boot without the initrd only so far, but it should boot.

                                So the next bit is to help a bit more with debugging. In the web ui ->FOG Configuraiton -> FOG Settings menu. There should be a value for logging level. It may be 1 or 4, turn it up to 7. This will inform the linux kernel booting to send all log messages to the console. This should give us a bit more detail.

                                The next bit is to use a windows web browser and browse to http://<fog_server_ip>/fog/service/ipxe/boot.php?mac=00:00:00:00:00 This will print out a bunch of text, copy and paste that text into a new post. That is the iPXE menu commands that builds the FOG iPXE menu. I want to look at the configuration for your menu. There has to be something off here.

                                    Keep in mind that the photo is EFI, if i do Legacy is downloads it and then comes to the same error

                                      @petec OK here is the part of the menu that seems to be causing the problem.

                                      kernel /fog/gparted/live/vmlinuz
                                      initrd /fog/gparted/live/initrd.img
                                      imgargs vmlinuz initrd=initrd.img boot=live union=aufs noswap noprompt vga=788 fetch=http://10.0.0.2/fog/filesystem.squashfs
                                      

                                      Lets change the parameter block to look like this

                                      kernel tftp://${fog-ip}/fog/gparted/live/vmlinuz
                                      initrd tftp://${fog-ip}/fog/gparted/live/initrd.img
                                      imgargs vmlinuz initrd=initrd.img boot=live union=aufs noswap noprompt vga=788 fetch=http://10.0.0.2/fog/filesystem.squashfs
                                      boot || goto MENU
                                      

                                      Please help us build the FOG community with everyone involved. It's not just about coding - way more we need people to test things, update documentation and most importantly work on uniting the community of people enjoying and working on FOG!

                                        kernel tftp://${fog-ip}/fog/gparted/live/vmlinuz
                                        initrd tftp://${fog-ip}/fog/gparted/live/initrd.img
                                        imgargs vmlinuz initrd=initrd.img boot=live config components union=overlay username=user noswap noeject vga=788 fetch=http://10.0.0.2/fog/filesystem.squashfs
                                        boot || goto MENU
