Error Summary

So now what?

And as a side note - I can’t access the FOG web gui management page, I changed the [SIZE=12px][FONT=Arial][COLOR=#000000]“MYSQL_PASSWORD” to a blank password[/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE] at ‘[SIZE=12px][FONT=Arial][COLOR=#000000]/var/www/fog/commons/config.php’, and there’s no such path as [/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE]
[SIZE=12px][FONT=Arial][COLOR=#000000]‘/opt/fog/service/etc/config.php’ to change the other “MYSQL_PASSWORD”.[/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE]

(As a 2nd side note, I already have a working FOG server, so I know it can be done, although I bought a newer computer to load Fedora (13 - old machine was with FOG.)

Please help, thank you very much.

Is there are reason you’re preferring to install 0.32 vs. 1.1.2?

Fedora has some funny issues in regards to any version of FOG as repositories are not installed, and the more modern you get with fedora, the changes become way too overwhelming. That said, have you simple tried removing the conflicting package? Set your network up as Static IP and ensure it’s good with DNS as well to access the internet. To remove the conflicting client, you could try:
[code]yum remove dhclient; yum install dhpc[/code]

[Jim Smith]

Well I think I was having some sort of issue with version 1.1.2, maybe it was the dhcp conflict, it’s been a long day. But removing the dhclient and installing dhcp, then installing the .32 script worked. I can now get to the FOG Mgmt gui.
Thanks for your help!
I’ll try v1.1.2 soon.
Jim

[Jim Smith]

I upgraded to v. 1.1.2 and everything went fine (after I ran the ‘yum remove dhclient’), only question now, is where is the images folder where I can put my custom boot iso’s? I noticed tftpboot isn’t there anymore. I also need to edit the default menu.
Thanks again,
Jim

[Tom Elliott]

/tftpboot is still there, but if you’re doing custom ISO’s you will likely want it on the /var/www/html/fog/service/ipxe/ folder.

[Junkhacker]

personally, i would recommend using a folder such as /var/www/html/ISO because this folder will not be touched in fog upgrades, but the /var/www/html/fog/service/ipxe/ folder will be moved
