 The client doesn’t understand paths on the fog server, only http paths. :WIN7PE64BIT 
 initrd var/www/fog/Win7AIO/WindowsAIO.iso

 initrd [URL=‘http://$%7Bfog-ip%7D/$%7Bfog-webroot%7D/service/ipxe/boot.php?mac=$%7Bnet0/mac%7D’]http://${fog-ip}/${fog-webroot}[/URL]/Win7AIO/WindowsAIO.iso

 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/
 set boot_nfs ${fog-ip}:/images/:MENU

 should be

 Thanks, that got me further. Now it goes back to the first menu (same error) after initrd loads. I’m thinking it has to do with the arguments passed to Ubuntu, but I am unsure. Any ideas?
