        Are you concerned about DHCP being on your production network?
        You are not required to run DHCP on FOG. You may use your existing DHCP server.

        Have you taken a look at our numerous walk-throughs for installing? [url]http://fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/FOGUserGuide#Installing_FOG[/url]

        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!

          Well, I need this server to hand out DHCP address just for imaging and then after the image is done I will set that computer to the domain which is a live network.

          No I didn’t look at this walk though, just a youtube video.

            Ok. That will be fine.

            You will need to connect the FOG machine to the internet temporarily, still.

            And I would recommend a fresh install of revision 3255 on either Ubuntu server or Fedora server. You may, instead of using a revision, choose to install 1.2.0. Many people use it, but it is becoming quite outdated as our Senior Developer, Tom, keeps pushing forward at the pace he’s holding… (for more info on revisions, see: [url]http://fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/SVN[/url] )

            Additionally, I can’t help most people with 1.2.0 because I have never even used 1.2.0 in production.

            You’ll need to keep the FOG machine on the internet until at least you’ve downloaded every utility / tool / updates that you need.

            If you hit any snags, just ask. We’re here to help.

                Well, there are several, for whatever version of Linux you choose.

                The most common installation is on Ubuntu, but the choice is up to you.

                Yes, start with a walk through.

                    I will add that if the FOG server is on your production network, FOG can name & then join the computer to the domain FOR YOU, automatically!

                      It doesn’t need to join the domain, we usually just add it after the image is complete.

                        The wiki shows one example here [url]http://www.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/FOG_on_an_Isolated_Network[/url] .
                        Here is how I setup a standalone fog test server I can’t find the original link I got this from if anyone knows post the link so I can credit them. The key is a second NIC so it has internet access but all the fog traffic stays off the main network then just hook a switch up to the other NIC for your hosts. This also includes webmin for headless admin and SVN instructions also culled from the wiki.

                        [COLOR=#555555][FONT=Arial]The setup is simple: a single Ubuntu server will act as a gateway and DHCP server for a local network. All other machines on the local network will receive their IPs from the DHCP server. To make things easier, I’ll call this Ubuntu server “Skyray” for the rest of the post.[/FONT][/COLOR]
                        [COLOR=#555555][FONT=Arial]Skyray has two network interfaces, eth0 and eth1. eth0 is on the 10.20.30.0/24 subnet and this is the Internet facing interface. eth1 is on the 172.22.22.0/24 subnet, where all other machines are also present.

                            The installation of FOG is fairly straightforward, once installed the bulk of configuration is handled from the Web GUI through your browser. There are a couple of further tweaks that can be done from the system side but they are optional depending on your environment.

                            1. Enter the following at your Ubuntu command line.
                              • cd /opt
                              • sudo wget [/FONT][URL=‘https://sourceforge.net/projects/freeghost/files/latest/download?source=’][FONT=Tahoma]https://sourceforge.net/projects/freeghost/files/latest/download?source=[/FONT][/URL][FONT=Tahoma]
                              • sudo tar –xvzf fog_1.20.tar.gz
                              • cd fog_1.2.0/
                              • cd bin
                              • sudo ./installfog.sh
                            2. Follow the steps in the FOG installer wizard
                              • Choose Option 2 (Ubuntu)
                              • Choose N (normal)
                              • Press enter to leave IP address default
                              • Press enter to leave gateway default
                              • Press enter to leave DNS default
                              • Choose NO when asked to change default NIC
                              • If you already have DHCP configured, press NO to disable FOG DHCP
                              • Press Enter to acknowledge MySQL warning
                              • Set a password for MySQL when requested if you want (I left mine blank)
                              • Be awesome and send a notification to the FOG community!
                            3. FOG is now installed, we just want to check some of the MySQL settings real quick. wizard (skip this step if you left the password blank)
                              • sudo vi /var/www/fog/lib/fog/Config.class.php
                              • Set MYSQL_PASSWORD to the password you configured in the FOG
                              • Confirm MYSQL_USERNAME is set to root account
                              • sudo vi /var/www/fog/lib/fog/Config.class.php
                              • Set MYSQL_PASSWORD to the password configured in the FOG wizard
                            4. Congrats! FOG is fully installed!! [/FONT]

                              I see that there is a backup util for the fog server, is there a way to run that and have it point to a external hd that I have?

                                  If you’re running FOG on a Linux server build, it’s likely that the external drive is not automatically mounted.

                                  Is the Ubuntu 14 a workstation/client install or the server install?

                                  Can you access the external drive at all? If not, you’ll have to mount it…

                                    You have to mount your external drive first. You mount to a specified directory. Something like /mybackupdrive

                                    [code]sudo mkdir /mybackupdrive
                                    mount [device/path/to/externaldrive] /mybackupdrive
                                    ./FOGBackup.sh /mybackupdrive[/code]

                                            My guess is you’re using a desktop variation of Ubuntu? Can you give us an output of [code]ls -l /{media,mnt}[/code]
