      [quote=“Junkhacker, post: 41943, member: 21583”]well, what do you get if you enter this in a web browser? [url]http://10.2.6.40/fog/service/ipxe/boot.php[/url][/quote]

      When i enter the link in a web browser, i get a blank page. Even if I do it from the FOG server (10.2.6.40), I still get a blank page.
      I have attached screenshots. Is there anything wrong?

        yes, that should return the text for the ipxe boot menu. do you have any problems logging into the server through your browser?

          I have no problem logging into the server. I’m running svn 2979.

            What are the permissions on the folder, do you have rights to view the content and execute it?

              Hi Jaymes, I just check the permissions, and look like no one has execute permission. I’m not sure if I’m correct.
              I have attached a screenshot.

                try [code]sudo chmod -R 0777 /var/www/fog/service[/code]
                this will give global read/write permissions just to verify we can get the page to display, we can adjust settings later for 755 or 644.

                  Hi Jaymes, it seems like it’s still the same. It still displays a blank page.

                    At least now we know it isn’t a permission issue 😄

                    I will see if I can get some time to set up a test server and work on this for you. I used chain loading back when 0.33b was in the works, and it worked well then, We should be able to get it going again.

                      LOL!! I’m so tempting to re-install the whole thing because I recall it happens after I updated to a newer svn version.

                          That of course, is always an option, but I should be able to set up a test server tomorrow to assist you further.

                              First off: I will rewrite all of this in complete steps when we are done, but for now, lets focus on the fragments.

                              ipxe.krn needs to be in /tftpboot not in /tftpboot/fog/kernel.

                              I see you already have placed /var/www/fog/service/ipxe, that is good.

                              Now we need to get the kernel booting.

                                When you tried [url]http://10.2.6.40/fog/service/ipxe/boot.php[/url] in your web browser and got a blank page, did you check the apache error log?
                                I am seeing the same now I’ve upgraded to 3010, I get an error 500 in the error log.

                                I’m just trying a reinstall on a clean vm.

                                  I’ve done a clean install of r3010, and have the same problem.

                                  I’ve got round it by manually adding a host,
                                  [url]http://http://192.168.1.20/fog/service/ipxe/boot.php[/url]
                                  then returns data.
                                  For me it still works even if I delete the host.

                                  For info for Tom, the error was
                                  PHP Fatal error: Call to a member function get() on a non-object in /var/www/fog/lib/fog/BootMenu.class.php on line 143

                                    Still problems I am afraid.
                                    If I delete all hosts from the gui, and then quick register one, ( same MAC address as before) I get

                                    Call to undefined method MACAddress::isImageIgnored() in /var/www/fog/lib/fog/BootMenu.class.php on line 761

                                    when going to [url]http://http://192.168.1.20/fog/service/ipxe/boot.php[/url]

                                    I’ll upgrade to 3012 and see how that goes

                                          I did a fresh installation of FOG 1.2.0 (without updating svn) and chainloading pxe is working now.
                                          I think there may be some updates in the svn which stop chainloading pxe. o_O
