      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]

      Please help us build the FOG community with everyone involved. It's not just about coding - way more we need people to test things, update documentation and most importantly work on uniting the community of people enjoying and working on FOG! Get in contact with me (chat bubble in the top right corner) if you want to join in.

      Web GUI issue? Please check apache error (debian/ubuntu: /var/log/apache2/error.log, centos/fedora/rhel: /var/log/httpd/error_log) and php-fpm log (/var/log/php*-fpm.log)

            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
            menu
            item Ubuntu12 Ubuntu 12.04 x64 Live
            item Ubuntu14 Ubuntu 14.04 x64 Live
            item return return to previous menu

            :Ubuntu12
            kernel http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/var/www/html/fog/service/ipxe/ubuntu12/casper/vmlinuz.efi
            initrd http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/var/www/html/fog/service/ipxe/ubuntu12/casper/initrd.lz
            imgargs boot=casper netboot=nfs nfsroot=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:/images/ubuntu12.04/
            shell
            boot

            :Ubuntu14
            kernel ${boot_url}/ubuntu/casper/vmlinuz.efi
            initrd ${boot_url}/ubuntu/casper/initrd.lz
            imgargs boot=casper netboot=nfs nfsroot=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:/images/ubuntu14.04/
            boot

            :return
            :return
            chain http://${boot_url}/boot.php?mac=${net0/mac} ||
            prompt
            goto MENU

            autoboot[/CODE]

                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.

                      Rather than imgargs, place the ARGs you want on the kernel line.

                      TRY THIS:
                      [CODE]
                      set boot_url http://${fog-ip}/fog/service/ipxe/

                      menu
                      item Ubuntu12 Ubuntu 12.04 x64 Live
                      item Ubuntu14 Ubuntu 14.04 x64 Live
                      item return return to previous menu
                      choose target && goto ${target}

                        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!

                            It was a little ugly but advanced menu codes started working for me after removing

                            [CODE]print “console --picture http://${boot-url}/service/ipxe/bg.png --left 100 --right 80\n”;[/CODE]

                            from advanced.php

                            I put the line back in replacing “${boot-url}” with [[I]my.servers.ip.address[/I]]/fog and all was well and looking good.

                                I managed to post this in the wrong thread. It has better context in and was intended for [url]http://fogproject.org/forum/threads/ipxe-advanced-menu-or-memdisk-problem.10544/page-2[/url]

                                To answer your question:

                                I did the initial install from 1.0.1 subversion 1783. After reading a post from Tom last Thursday I updated to svn 1799. When that still didn’t fix my issue I patched to svn 1801. Fog version did in fact change to 1.1.0 with eiter svn 1799 or 1801. Apparently the advanced.php file was not being updated in that process. Perhaps I missed a step but all seems well now.

                                  Anybody have any idea how to add a login option to the advanced menu? Or is this not currently possible? I really need a password on some of my options, and this was really easy to add with syslinux. I can’t seem to figure it out with iPXE.

                                  Thanks!

                                          really? a webserver should never delivery a php file contents cleartext.

                                          Regards X23
