Fog 0.33b edit PXE menu
-
UPDATE; I got it working.
I copied vmlinuz, initrd.img and filesystem.squashfs from gparted into /var/www/fog/gparted/
and then updated my iPXE menu as follows:kernel http://${fog-ip}/fog/gparted/vmlinuz
initrd http://${fog-ip}/fog/gparted/initrd.img
imgargs vmlinuz boot=live config union=aufs noswap noprompt vga=788 fetch=http://${fog-ip}/fog/gparted/filesystem.squashfs
boot[/CODE]All tested and working now.

The client doesn’t understand paths on the fog server, only http paths.

chain memdisk iso raw ||
goto MENUBoth should tell the client to look in the same place, although the first form is preferable.
If this fails check your apache log, it will tell you where i is looking for the iso.
-
okay thx, where i find the apache log?
-
The log location is os dependent,
Debian based Location (normally)
/var/log/apache2
Redhat based Location (normally)
/var/log/httpdthere are 2 logs, access.log and error.log.
The messages you need will probably be in the access log, search for WindowsAIO.iso starting at the end, you should see a status 404, which says not found
You can test by typing the following in to your browser[URL=‘http://$%7Bfog-ip%7D/$%7Bfog-webroot%7D/service/ipxe/boot.php?mac=$%7Bnet0/mac%7D’]http://<fog_ip_address>/fog[/URL]/Win7AIO/WindowsAIO.iso
replacing <fog_ip_address> with your fog server ip.eg
[URL=‘http://$%7Bfog-ip%7D/$%7Bfog-webroot%7D/service/ipxe/boot.php?mac=$%7Bnet0/mac%7D’]http://192.168.3.11/fog[/URL]/Win7AIO/WindowsAIO.iso -
my fog ip is 192.168.2.100
is this correct? [URL=‘http://%24%7Bfog-ip%7D/$%7Bfog-webroot%7D/service/ipxe/boot.php?mac=$%7Bnet0/mac%7D’]http://${fog-ip}/${fog-webroot}[/URL]/Win7AIO/WindowsAIO.iso
or [URL=‘http://%24%7Bfog-ip%7D/$%7Bfog-webroot%7D/service/ipxe/boot.php?mac=$%7Bnet0/mac%7D’]http://${192.168.2.100}/${fog-webroot}[/URL]/Win7AIO/WindowsAIO.iso
-
the first of those two is correct, assuming that you have that file located in /var/www/fog/Win7AIO/WindowsAIO.iso
[URL=‘http://%24%7Bfog-ip%7D/$%7Bfog-webroot%7D/service/ipxe/boot.php?mac=$%7Bnet0/mac%7D’]${fog-ip}[/URL] is a variable set to your server’s IP, in your case “fog”
[URL=‘http://%24%7Bfog-ip%7D/$%7Bfog-webroot%7D/service/ipxe/boot.php?mac=$%7Bnet0/mac%7D’]${fog-webroot}[/URL] is a variable set to the root of your fog installation, in your case “192.168.2.100” -
when i type [url]http://192.168.2.100/ISO/Windows8x64.iso[/url] it will start the download…i think it work but in the fog menu it goes direclty back to the menu.
-
if you paste your advanced menu code here, i will help you troubleshoot it
please use the “code” format button when doing so. -

And if it’s not located in /var/www/fog/ISO and is located in /var/www/ISO the booturl should be:
[code]http://${fog-ip}/ISO/Windows8x64.iso[/code] -
iso is stored @ /var/www/fog/ISO fog search with initrd [url]http://${fog-ip}/${fog-webroot}/ISO/Windows8x64.iso[/url]

Hello, I am using Fog 1.0.1 on CentOS 6.5 and attempting to get Ubuntu 12.04 or 14.04 to live boot. Does anyone have a working iPXE menu configuration, or have any idea why mine is failing (screen flashes and it goes back to first iPXE menu). I had a working configuration for both using fog 0.32. My menu code is below:
[CODE]set boot_url http://${fog-ip}/var/www/html/fog/service/ipxe/
