fog configuration problem

[Tom Elliott]

Can you provide the error log from the installation so we can maybe help provide more information?

[alexamore90]

@Tom-Elliott there are no installation errors, the fog is installed without errors, but when I start a PC in pxe it stops at DHCP, as if it wanted to contact the fog but fails

[Tom Elliott]

@alexamore90 So the “reinstall” process is really very simple.

And generally corrects 90% of the problems people face. It’s not quite the same as a reinstall as you might envision it.

Would you be willing to try simply re-running the installer? It will not delete existing information or anything, and might tell you if dhcp fails to start as well.

[alexamore90]

@Tom-Elliott ok I’ll try to reinstall, but is the network card configuration ok?

[Sebastian Roth]

@alexamore90 Is this a typo with IP, gateway and DNS all set to the same address?

You might want to run systemctl status isc-dhcp-server (Debian/Ubuntu) or systemctl status dhcpd (Redhat based distros) and post output here.

@alexamore90 The d in the dhcpd that Sebastian suggested is absolutely necessary:

It stands for “DHCP Daemon” as a way to think of it all.

Please what is output of:
systemctl status -l dhcpd

@alexamore90 You might want to set a subnet for the interface.

0.0.0.0 subnet mask means no ips available. So how could it even get 192.168.11.1

Your subnet should potentially be 255.255.255.0?

I don’t know wht the dhcpd.conf file looks like though either.

I am also attaching my dhcpd.conf file, but I noticed that when I try to restart the dhcp service Init.d tells me that it was not found, is this normal?

[Tom Elliott]

@alexamore90 The service is called dhcpd not dhcp

While in our eye’s they’re one in the same.

@alexamore90 said in fog configuration problem:

@alexamore90

This picture is incorrect I think.

You probably want the “Netmask” to be 255.255.255.0 as well. 0.0.0.0 = “any open IP address” which isn’t really “feasible” or accurate. In Most systems this is unusable as a Netmask.

[alexamore90]

@Tom-Elliott ah, could you tell me what command to use to restart the dhcp service?I use centos 7
but is the dhcpd.config correct with the parameters?

I also put 255.255.255.0 in the network card parameters

[Tom Elliott]

@alexamore90 systemctl restart dhcpd

It looks correct, at my cursory glance of things, yes.

[Tom Elliott]

@alexamore90 What’s the output of

systemctl restart dhcpd
systemctl status -l dhcpd
journalctl -xe
