        @csa For automated installs you might want to check out FAI as well. Does PXE boot as well. I am running FOG and FAI alongside on my dev notebook sharing all the common services (NFS, DHCP, PXE, TFTP, …). I am not saying you shouldn’t do this with FOG. It’s probably doable and you’d have it all together in one solution. Just saying that FOG is made for cloning and FAI is made for automated installs.

        Looking forward to see if you can make it work within FOG!

        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)

          Yes kickstart works like a champ on fog. I want to use cloning and installation on one server. All I need to do is now to be able to create a task, so i can assign to a host. Tom Elliott is checking on some hooks.

          Thank you

            Just wondering if you have any updates. If not can you give me some guide lines on where and how to create the hooks.

            Thank you

              @csa Can you provide an exact diagram of what needs to happen?

              Using the system you have now, it seems to try to do what you’re wanting to do via the FOS systems, but you really have your own environment.

              I can probably help much better if I know exactly what you’re trying to accomplish (and even attempt to replicate so I can test and give a more suitable answer.)

              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!

                All I wanted to do is to call the custom menu that I created via custom task.

                Thank you

                  @csa But the custom task, is it using fos environment to perform the task? What is the task actually going to do?

                    The custom menu is doing kickstart installation ( just like the default memory test that comes with fog ). I can see the menu when I pxe boot just like any other menu. ( again same like memory test) but that is a manual process especially when I want to manage large number of hosts.
                    All I wanted to do now is to create a custom task ( which calls the custom menu ). So I can assign the task to a host that is registered.

                    Thank you

                        Yes I installed task type plugin. Like I shared the snapshots in the initial conversation. I can create a custom task but that isn’t calling the menu. That is where I needed help on how call my custom menu. If you can’t find the snapshot in the beginning of this tickets. I will re-post it.

                        Thank you

                          @csa I was right. There is a hook already for this.

                          The hook to call is:

                          IPXE_EDIT
                          

                          The Particular variable will be:

                          $arguments['Send']['task']
                          

                          That’s called within the hook.

                          Can you post what the sequence to that tasking will be to boot it INTO the tasking?

                            Does this look right for tasking?

                              Sorry I am little confused on following your instructions but here is a screen shot of “Task Type Management” of my custom task. So can you tell me which field gets the “IPXE_EDIT” and which the arguments?

                                Yes that is correct. I use that entries in my custom menu that I call manually. It works like a champ. Now I need to do the same in my tasking or call the menu from tasking.

                                Thank you

                                    Fixed the password issues and upgrade to the latest revision. Switched the flag in “/var/www/fog/lib/hooks/boottask.hook.php to true”.

                                    Do you have couple of min to chat.
