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

      :WIN7PE64BIT
      initrd var/www/fog/Win7AIO/WindowsAIO.iso
      chain memdisk iso raw ||
      goto MENU

      Needs to be

      :WIN7PE64BIT
      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 MENU

      OR

      :WIN7PE64BIT
      initrd [URL=‘http://$%7Bfog-ip%7D/$%7Bfog-webroot%7D/service/ipxe/boot.php?mac=$%7Bnet0/mac%7D’]http://${fog-ip}/fog[/URL]/Win7AIO/WindowsAIO.iso
      chain memdisk iso raw ||
      goto MENU

      Both 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.

          The log location is os dependent,

          Debian based Location (normally)
          /var/log/apache2
          Redhat based Location (normally)
          /var/log/httpd

          there 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.

                          And if it’s not located in /var/www/fog/ISO and is located in /var/www/ISO the booturl should be:

                                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/

                                    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?

                                      here’s a tip to tracking down what line kills it
                                      put a “prompt” after each line, and it will make you hit a key before continuing

                                        Thanks, the imgargs line kills it. I’ve been trying various tutorials and combinations for that line but I have yet to find one that works.

                                            Awesome, that got me most of the way there. Now its just messing around with kernel arguments for the two Ubuntu distros. But, I did get Xubuntu 13.04 working with the following code in case anyone else finds it useful:

                                            [CODE]:Xubuntu 13.04
                                            kernel ${boot_url}/xubuntu/casper/vmlinuz root=/dev/nfs/ boot=casper netboot=nfs nfsroot=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:/images/xubuntu/
                                            initrd http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/fog/service/ipxe/xubuntu/casper/initrd.lz
                                            boot
                                            [/CODE]

                                            Thanks for all the help!
