FOG Compatibility Test Failed

[techlover28]

@Tom-Elliott I re-tried installing Trunk from scratch after removing-reinstalling DHCP and VSFTPD RPMs.

It got stuck at same place again (Setting up and starting DHCP Server…Failed!).

Attaching logs for reference. 1_1454387019861_foginstall.log 0_1454387019861_fog_error_6134.log

It is not able to start the DHCP service, therefore I manually configured it and re-executed the installfog.sh script. Script overwrites the configuration and fails.

My manual configuration which let DHCP service to start:

   subnet 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
   # option subnet-mask ;
    range dynamic-bootp 192.168.1.10 192.168.1.100;
    default-lease-time 21600;
    max-lease-time 43200;
    #       option domain-name-servers      x.x.x.x; 
    #       option routers      x.x.x.x;
    filename "undionly.kpxe";
    }

Script configuration which does NOT let DHCP service to start:

    subnet 0.0.0.0 netmask  {
    option subnet-mask ;
    range dynamic-bootp 0.0.0.253 192.168.1.254;
    default-lease-time 21600;
    max-lease-time 43200;
    #       option domain-name-servers      x.x.x.x; 
    #       option routers      x.x.x.x;
    filename "undionly.kpxe";
    }

@techlover28 I don’t think you have the latest version of trunk. The very, very latest has a more robust dhcp configuration.

And, in the script you posted, I think it fails to start because your interface IP address is not being detected correctly. The address and mask detected are what’s used to calculate the subnet address and start range, exactly the things that are not configured correctly here. Also the subnet-mask option is blank, which would be blank if the netmask couldn’t be calculated.

If you can post the output of ip addr I will try to come up with a more robust IP detection method that will hopefully solve your problem.

[techlover28]

@Wayne-Workman Thank you for your response.

I am using version 6134 (as written on a cloud on FOG management page). Please let me know where I can download latest Trunk.

Please find the output of said command below (I am using interface em2 for FOG/DHCP management):

@techlover28 we we ask you to upgrade we need you to update the sources as well. If you’re running svn trunk you cd to the trunk directory, for example /opt/svn/trunk then run

svn up
cd bin
./installfog.sh -y

If running git for example stored in /opt/fogproject you cd there and run

git pull
cd bin
./installfog.sh -y

[techlover28]

@Tom-Elliott I have done the “svn up”, below is the output:

# svn up
   A    .gitignore
   U    lib/common/functions.sh
   .
   .
   U    packages/web/lib/fog/group.class.php
   Updated to revision 4752.

But the install.sh script failed again at the same place (Setting up and starting DHCP Server…Failed!).

[Wayne Workman]

@techlover28 Ok so, you have many interfaces.

What network do you want FOG to serve DHCP to? The 192.168.1.0 network or the 10.201.0.0 network?

[techlover28]

@Wayne-Workman I am using interface em2 (192.168.1.0) for FOG/DHCP management.

[Wayne Workman]

@techlover28 So are you specifying the correct interface during the FOG installation? the em2 interface?

[techlover28]

@Wayne-Workman Yes, I am.

 * Here are the settings FOG will use:
 * Base Linux: Redhat
 * Detected Linux Distribution: CentOS
 * Server IP Address: 192.168.1.1
 * Interface: em2
 * Installation Type: Normal Server
 * Donate: 0
 * Internationalization: 0
 * Image Storage Location: /images
 * Using FOG DHCP: Yes
 * DHCP router Address: 
 * DHCP DNS Address: 

[Wayne Workman]

I’ve forked the fogproject and added auxiliary code in case the IP or Subnet mask is missing - to hopefully solve your issue.

If you know how to use git, the project is here: https://github.com/wayneworkman/fogproject

Report back with your findings please, if it works we need to merge it to the main repo.

[techlover28]

@Wayne-Workman I had installed FOG 1.2.0 earlier. It worked fine with DHCP. I observed the issue during upgrade to Trunk (I attempted to upgrade because I was facing issue with the RAID disk and Trunk has RAID drivers included).

If you know how to use git, the project is here: https://github.com/wayneworkman/fogproject

This link appears to be pointing to the download of Fog 1.2.0. Is it the updated version including RAID drivers?

[Wayne Workman]

@techlover28 It’s not pointing to 1.2.0.

[Wayne Workman]

@techlover28 Please update and try again, the changes I’ve made have been merged. Maybe it’s fixed now?

[techlover28]

@Wayne-Workman Sorry I should have downloaded and installed it instead of just looking at the text. I have downloaded it and trying to install it now.

I am getting an error:

Setting up and starting DHCP Server…/lib/common/functions.sh: line 1705: 255.255.255.0: command not found
Failed!

I think it should be something to do with GIT.

[techlover28]

I am trying to make an understanding with GIT and going to try again installing version 6181 after setting GIT up.

[Sebastian Roth]

@techlover28 No I think there is a fix needed that @Wayne-Workman can shoot up pretty soon!

In line 1705 instead of:

            [[ -z $submask ]] && $( cidr2mask $(getCidr $interface))

should be (I reckon):

            [[ -z $submask ]] && $submask=$( cidr2mask $(getCidr $interface))

You can edit this in your local files and test till you hear from Wayne.

[techlover28]

@Sebastian-Roth I have edited functions.sh file - replaced 1705 line.

I am facing the same issue again.

Setting up and starting DHCP Server…/lib/common/functions.sh: line 1705: =255.255.255.0: command not found
Failed!

[Sebastian Roth]

Sorry! Should be (remove $

            [[ -z $submask ]] && submask=$( cidr2mask $(getCidr $interface))

@george1421 You are absolutely right about people need to get enough sleep!

[techlover28]

@Sebastian-Roth Thank you for the instant response.

I have edited it and removed the “$” symbol.

It has failed again.

Setting up and starting DHCP Server…Failed!

It seems that “dhcpd.conf” has the “option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;” line in it. When I remove it, I am able to start the DHCPd service.

subnet 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0{
option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
range dynamic-bootp 192.168.1.253 192.168.1.254;
default-lease-time 21600;
max-lease-time 43200;

[Sebastian Roth]

I have that option in my config too. Does not cause an issue?! I can’t see what’s wrong with it.
