      Hey everyone,

      I performed a clean install of ubuntu server 14.04 and fog 1.2.0 and I can’t get the machines to boot to pxe properly. I get the following output

      Client Mac Addr…everyone okay here
      TFTP
      PXE-T01: File Not Found
      PXE-E3B: TFTP Error - File Not found

      Machine reboots.

      I have tried everything I can find on the forums.
      Verified options in DNS 60, 66, 67
      Verified that foguser and tftp passwords all match

      I’m new to installing fog. Changed jobs, used it at my old job wanted to use it here too. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

      Thanks,
      Kevin

              An H3C switch. The client is a virtual win 7 pro box on a hyper-v server in the same rack as the new ubuntu server.

                  Is the IP address pointing: option 66, at your FOG Server?

                  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)

                      Is this a fresh install of the OS too? Did you turn off iptables/firewalld/ufw/selinux?

                        It is a clean install of the OS. I tried to run the commands that I found to disable selinux and the system told me it was not installed or already disabled.

                          Have you tried DNSMasq?

                          I recommend this a lot 🙂

                          It really helps to resolve to your bootfile and server, it can fix the issue that you are describing, I had to use it in my environment (Novell with Windows DHCP and WDS) so that my machines would default to FOG instead of the silly WDS server.

                          I would start here: [url]http://fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Using_FOG_with_an_unmodifiable_DHCP_server/_Using_FOG_with_no_DHCP_server#DNSMASQ_settings_for_iPXE[/url]

                            Thank you to everyone for your help. I solved the problem by starting over.

                            I dumped the ubuntu server, fog install and all the changes I made to DHCP/DNS and started from scratch with a virtualized ubuntu desktop install. Followed the Chuck Syperski youtube install from there. What ever the issue was it is gone now and I don’t have the ubuntu server driving me crazy.

                            Thanks again,
                            Kevin

                              Glad you got is sorted, sometimes, a fresh install isn’t such a bad idea (even if you JUST installed fog) 😉
