    You mean you cannot add a host manually via the web interface?? I am just a bit confused. Re-reading everything I still don’t really get what’s going wrong for you.

    Where do you want to “select the boot file”??

    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)

      Yeah I’m totally lost.

      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.

        it went ok except I can not select the boot file now. It’s just a blank area with no way of selecting anything. When booting a machine now it’s looking for default.kpxe

        How were you selecting the boot file before? Can you provide photographs or a short video (via YouTube) of what you’re seeing?

          thanks for the response, I had a feeling it wasn’t clear. in fog settings under tftp i believe there was a drop down to select the pxe file, the options were several different files. I don’t remember the names available but there were at least 4.
          That selection box is no longer available it shows just a blank space with no box for drop down. I’ll provide a vid in the morning when i get to work. Thanks again for such a quick response.

            Ok we understand more now. So you know, that drop-down box has never actually done anything. Now I’m suspecting that you have DB or Apache issues… Can you provide us with your Apache error logs? They are here: FOG Configuration -> Log Viewer -> Apache Errors.

            Additionally, I would still recommend trying to use undionly.kkpxe Follow these steps to change your boot file: https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Modifying_existing_DHCP_server_to_work_with_FOG

              Hi, The error log is pretty short, I verified that Bootfile in DHCP was set to undionly.klpxe. This had not changed. I had a function FOG server setup for over a year however the VM it was hosted on died. I found out later that we had no backup. live and learn i supose…

                Good morning, It would seem that the fog server is in fact partially working. I by chance had an optiplex 7010 boot into the imaging selection menu. It would seem that the HP Z230 and the older dell inspiron with a yukon chipset still can not boot. They both timeout at tftp://10.1.9.9/defualt.kpxe. The DHCP server is still set to use undionly.kkpxe so i’m a bit confused as to why its trying to use the default.kpxe.

                  @AustinR

                  Can you run this command on the FOG server and provide the results?
                  find / | grep default.kpxe

                  Also look at this: https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Troubleshoot_TFTP

                    Here is the output, also i was able to successfully grab an image from the z230 i was working on It failed but at least the registration portion is working. The issues are now only with the inspiron laptops and a the surface pro’s we purchased. I’m not to concerned about the surface as i couldn’t get them to work properly in the prior version either.
                    Wayne, sorry about not responding to the IM, somehow the avatar circle was placed under the new post button and i literally just realized it was there.

                        @AustinR That’s interesting because I’m on FOG Trunk just as you are, but I cannot find any such file called default.kpxe on my FOG server.

                        Look into “FOG Configuration” and tell us what kernel it says it’s using.

                            So… DHCP… and DHCP Scopes - and DHCP Global settings… somewhere or another you likely have default.kpxe set as option 067.

                            I’ve seen situations in organizations that have the correct settings set lower in the DHCP scope for a site, but a global setting simply overrides it. Please double check if this is the case.

                            Also - do you have dual DHCP servers or redundant DHCP servers? Are you sure DHCP is not running on the FOG server? Is dnsmasq or CrucibleWDS ProxyDHCP running anywhere? Do you have an active WDS Server on your network?

                              @Wayne-Workman , I just verified that the only scope using 66,67 is the 10.1.12.x that workstations get their IP’s from. Is there a log created during the pxe startup on the client machine ? i see something flash by but to fast to see what it says, its only these few machines now. The Optiplex 9020,7010 and the HP z230 are all booting and exiting properly now. honestly we don’t have very many of the others left. I think i’ll just move on. I appreciate all the help you provided.

                              Thank you.

                                @AustinR, there is no such file as default.kpxe presented to any of our underlying code. If you have edited the file to get default.kpxe, maybe this is the issue altogether?

                                If you mean default.ipxe which is stored it /tftpboot, all this file is is a text file that is telling the ipxe (undionly.kpxe) what to look for. What I’d recommend is changing from the bootfile undionly.kpxe to undionly.kkpxe.

                                Then I again I am still kind of lost on what this thread is about, so forgive my misunderstanding. If I understand it correctly, some systems are booting fine, while others are hanging or erroring out. My best guess is this is due to the bootfile and I’d start by trying the undionly.kkpxe. If this still doesn’t work, at least we know we’re heading somewhere.

                                Please help us build the FOG community with everyone involved.

                                  @Tom-Elliott looks like it is .ipxe that is showing up, I had to record a video and play it back to see it. Yes the thread has moved in the direction of some machines are booting and others aren’t. It was originally a thread about none of the machines being able to register due to a MAC issue.
                                  I’ll change the boot file to .kkpxe and see if that works with the machines that won’t boot.
