FOG 33b - installation - HP Elite 8300 SFF

Please make sure you listen to Tom FIRST!

Sometimes after a restart you need to restart the tftp service.

[CODE]sudo restart tftpd-hpa[/CODE]

Edit:
Also, use the ip address of the fogserver for option 66.

[Alistair]

I have also tried one of the new HP clients. It does not find the pxe file either.

[Tom Elliott]

Probably still necessary. I don’t have a definitive answer because this varies per system.

[Junkhacker]

i recommend setting 66=10.0.1.40 on your DHCP server, so there isn’t any question if it’s resolving the hostname

[Alistair]

And could I have a definitive answer on if it is necessary with 33b to modify the bind-address= in /etc/mysql/my.cnf to my fogserver ip address? (as it was necessary with 32)

[Alistair]

yes

[Tom Elliott]

does your fog server have the file:
/tftpboot/undionly.kpxe

[Alistair]

I am trying to register 1 client, an old HP

PXE TFTP open timeout

It’s not finding the pxe boot file.

A few years ago I think I fixed this with
sudo start tftpd-hpa

But tftpd-hpa is already running.

Server 2012 R2 already has DHCP scope options:
066 = fogserver
067 = undionly.kpxe

So what’s the problem?

[Alistair]

Thanks so much Tom. It works again. And I will not tick that option again.
Can I suggest the following text in addition to that you have by that tick box:

Warning - if you tick this box, this user will not be able to log into this FOG Management Console in the future.

[Alistair]

And could I have a definitive answer on if it is necessary with 33b to modify the bind-address= in /etc/mysql/my.cnf to my fogserver ip address? (as it was necessary with 32)

[Tom Elliott]

You have to unflag the user.
[code]mysql -u root -p fog[/code]

From the mysql shell run the command:
[code]UPDATE users SET uType=‘0’ WHERE uName=‘fog’;[/code]

[Alistair]

That’s correct. I selected that option believing that it gave me an extra option on the PXE registration page.
You need to put a better explanation of what it is on the initial user creation page.
I really did not know if I should tick it or not.
What do I do now to get access again. This is the one and only user I have called fog.

[Tom Elliott]

Then the user you’re trying to login is flagged as quick image/mobile

[Alistair]

Have put # in front of bind-address and saved.
then
sudo start mysql
running
Tried login - not work.

As I said it is easy to see that my correct password is being accepted because I do not get “invalid login”

[Alistair]

Oh yes # to comment

[Alistair]

By the way, is it best to stop mysql first before doing changes and then start?

[Alistair]

how do I comment the bind-address

[Tom Elliott]

From what I can tell, it appears the username and/or password are not working for mysql.

Try commenting the bind-address part of the my.cnf file entirely and restart mysql and try again.

[Alistair]

Why would it work for 10 minutes and then not? The same yesterday.

[Alistair]

10.0.1.40 is the fogserver
10.0.1.39 is my work station

Clearing the cache did not help. Using firefox on fogserver did not work either.
