FOG Trunk background image.

[Quazz]

It’s /var/www/fog/service/ipxe (singular service)

Hi George,

I used cp -i /home/deploymentsvr/Desktop/bg.png /var/www/fog/service/ipxe and it asked if i wanted to replace.

I selected y and did use sudo too so it should have replaced however when pathing to it like you said it is not the updated background.

Any thoughts?

[alexwarren]

Also when copying the file out, it shows the new updated one that I want to use.

@alexwarren Try removing the file, then copying it again.

If it still acts up see if copying it under a different name produces better results

[alexwarren]

@Quazz I’ll try that now and reply when done,

Thanks

Oh, you replaced the image with a custom one? How about permissions and ownership?

[alexwarren]

@Wayne-Workman I used sudo cp -i and have removed and re-added it to no success (still the default background). How else would I add a custom background. I managed to do it in the bootmenu.class.php in 1.2.0

@alexwarren just for clarity the actual path (which should be the same as you have listed) is /var/www/html/fog/service/ipxe and from a browser http://<fog_server_ip>/fog/service/ipxe/bg.png If this is not loading your correct background then you need to traverse to the path I provided and post the output of ls -la /var/www/html/fog/service/ipxe

That image file is what you need, no need to mess with any code now days. You need to get the URL i just posted to pull the correct image then you are done.

@Wayne-Workman Would the command for chown on the bg.png be the fog:root? (for clarification)

chown -R fog:root <Path to file>???

[Wayne Workman]

@adukes40 I’m just guessing because I’m not at a comp, I think fog:apache 770.

@george1421 Thanks George, thats solved it. I wasn’t using the /html/fog. Is this a trunk update that has included it in the html folder or just my mistake?

Sorry for asking such basic questions, i’ve only learnt a bit of ubuntu to get the server running

@alexwarren That is an Ubuntu 14.04 change that caused FOG to change to use the /html/fog
