since upgrading to 1.5.10.1754 deploying image from the fog client menu fails (deploying from console is fine)

[Gordon Taylor]

I upgraded fog server the other day it was only a minor version out of date (i just cant remember exactly what it was on but fairly certian it was 1.5.10.17xx)

as explained in the title from the fog PXE boot menu on the client computer if you choose deploy image and pick the image it then displays this error message.

http://myfogserver/fog/service/ipxe/boot.php...  HTTP 5xx Server Error (https://ipxe.org/1d0c6598)
Could not boot: HTTP 5xx Server Error (https://ipxe.org/1d0c6598)
Could not boot: HTTP 5xx Server Error (https://ipxe.org/1d0c6598)
Chainloading failed, hit 's' for the iPXE shell; reboot in 10 seconds

if i go and find the host in the web console and choose deploy image it works fine and will deploy the image - so workaround fine… but i would like to fix it as we mostly reinstall from the client…

From the client PXE menu we are fine registering new hosts (including choosing to image them as part of that process)

@Gordon-Taylor Can you please install the dev-branch version?

The error (value min() issue you see) has been fixed in the latest dev-branch.

I hope this would fix the problem you’re seeing of course, but we won’t really know until that’s done.

1754 is the latest “stable” version, but dev-branch is a bit newer than the stable branch specifically in an attempt to fix other (and this) particular issue(s).

@Gordon-Taylor If you’re seeing an HTTP 5xx (doesn’t matter the exact number)

can you please provide your http error logs:

/var/log/php-fpm/www-error.log (on redhat based)
/var/log/apache2/error.log (on debian/ubuntu)

Also, can you get your mysql history:

sudo mysql -u root fog
select * from history;

Thank you!

@Tom-Elliott Thanks Tom, yes that looks to have sorted it out thankyou…
