Fatal Error: Failed to Mount NFS Volume

[michaeloberg]

I see there is 4 different versions available, how can I tell which one will be best for our environment, also being new to Linux are the commands on the Wiki the exact syntax I will type in an SSH session with the command interface?

I should clarify here, there is only one “Latest Trunk” version of FOG. there are many revisions, but only one “Latest”.

However, there are many methods to GET the latest trunk version.

I’d recommend using the SVN method. This might be a little more clear: https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/SVN#Ubuntu

[michaeloberg]

Sorry methods, not versions. Not sure if this helps at all but when I try to do a full host registration it fails, says attempting to send to inventory…

Never does.

Hmm…

Well just upgrade to trunk, we will go from there.

Same problem with the last ubuntu (Fog 1.2)

Back to debian Wheezy and it works fine. (Fog 1.2)

We are a little worried about upgrading at this time, we have 1000 computers to reimage (our old ones and they are working) it is the 400 new ones that won’t do a full host registration, can anything think of a BIOS setting or something else I need to check in our existing environment to get this working??

[michaeloberg]

So as mentioned earlier it won’t let us do a full host registration, when I do a quick host registration it say it did so, then see the attached picture, it just says attempting to send inventory…

Can you go back to System Info menu item and choose IP Information from the menu, instead of Compatibility?

[michaeloberg]

[Tom Elliott]

Alright, based on that, the nic is getting an IP.

Can you get it so it’s continuously entering “Attempting to send inventory…” and on the server get us a copy of the file: /var/log/apache2/error.log

[michaeloberg]

I don’t have a log directory after var.

[Joe Schmitt]

In *nix systems putting a / infront of a path means it’s at the root. So what you were doing is this:

cd /var <-- Basically C:\var
cd /log <-- Basically C:\log

You need to enter the whole path like this :

cd  /var/log 

OR

cd /var
cd log

[michaeloberg]

OK I found my way how to navigate to the error.log, how to I obtain a copy of it so I can share that on here:

Copy it to your /tftpboot folder, then use a windows client to grab it via TFTP. See the example here:
https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Troubleshoot_TFTP#Try_to_get_a_file_with_Windows:

[michaeloberg]

When I try to copy the error.log file to the TFTPBoot directory I get the following message:

@michaeloberg sudo ?

[michaeloberg]

Yep, sudo did it. Again, I am new to Linux, your help is greatly appreciated.

When I try to get the file from my windows box I get the attached error. I am sorry for all of this, I am new to FOG and Linux but am learning a lot from you guys. Thanks for your help:
