PXE Boot stopped working

Tom Elliott · Jan 20, 2015, 5:45 PM

Is this before or after the delayed task has started?

geoffpeters · Jan 20, 2015, 6:04 PM

The delayed task never shows that it has started. Actually, I’m not sure what I should see in Task Management. If I look at Scheduled Tasks I see the Upload task I just created. Under Active/Type I see Yes/Delayed. The task never appears in the Active Tasks window. It is now 10 minutes after the scheduled start time.

Tom Elliott · Jan 20, 2015, 6:06 PM

my guess is the time is off then.

Have you ensured the date.timezone setting of both the /etc/php5/apache/php.ini and /etc/php5/cli/php.ini were set, and that the FOG Services were all restarted after the apache service was restarted?

geoffpeters · Jan 20, 2015, 6:24 PM

Yes, both php.ini files contain date.timezone=“America/Los_Angeles”. My path includes apache2, I assume that is OK.

I followed the steps you outlined and I restarted the FOG server.

When I restart the apache2 service I get a message:
“Could not reliably determine the server’s fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.1.1 for ServerName.”

When I restart the FOG services I see this:
“Restarting FOG Computer Imaging Solution: FOGScheduler
start-stop-daemon: warning: failed to kill 939: no such process” [OK]

check this out you may want to look at those files again and change 127.0.1.1 to localhost

I fixed the ServerName problem.

I tried to insert screen shots of the php.ini files but it seems I don’t know how.

In any case it looks to me as if they are both correct.

This is good for the time zone.

However, for your error of “Could not reliably determine the server’s fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.1.1 for ServerName.”

Yes, I did that.

[S]The scheduled task now appears in the Active Tasks window.[/S]

My mistake. The scheduled task is not running.

I tried the client with a user logged in, at the ctl-alt-del screen, and with a reboot.

In the first two cases nothing happened. In the reboot it went through the PXE menu and by default booted from the hard drive

geoffpeters · Jan 20, 2015, 9:14 PM

Any more ideas about getting the scheduled task deployment to work?

Wolfbane8653 · Jan 20, 2015, 9:25 PM

I hate to throw this out there but did you disable windows firewall yet?

geoffpeters · Jan 20, 2015, 9:31 PM

No firewalls on Windows boxes (via GPO) or the FOG server.

Just a reminder, the upload task works fine if I deploy the task instantly.

Wolfbane8653 · Jan 20, 2015, 9:40 PM

SO instant works but not delayed. have you tried cron-syle?

Sry currently testing the delayed on my configuration. I usually don’t use the delayed method. Just instant and cron-style.

Edit: delayed donate works for me. about 3 mins off from scheduled time thought. Most likely due to task check periods

geoffpeters · Jan 20, 2015, 10:07 PM

I’m trying cron-style now. I set it up as 56, 13, 20, month, dow. That is, 1356 on the 20th, no month, no day of week. (I’m in California)

It is now 1407 and nothing.

Tom Elliott · Jan 20, 2015, 10:08 PM

YOu have Cron set to run, every 1:56 pm, on the 20th day. When did you set this? Do you set it before 1356?

geoffpeters · Jan 20, 2015, 10:09 PM

Yes, at 1354

Edit: The task appeared in the scheduled tasks window

Tom Elliott · Jan 20, 2015, 10:13 PM

Okay,

What is the last 20 lines of:
[code]tail -20 /opt/fog/log/fogscheduler.log[/code]

geoffpeters · Jan 20, 2015, 10:28 PM

Here you are:

The clock looks wrong

I just ran the tail command again and the time did not change…
