@Wayne-Workman It will look at ftp if a requested node is unable to find localized images. It will try finding images by way of ftp if it cannot set them internally first. This process usually works fine but if ftp is bad then this might happen.

Let us know what it shows, too. Just copy/paste, use the forum’s code snippit tool.

@Wayne-Workman Here’s what I get after pasting in web-browser

#!ipxe
set fog-ip 192.168.0.49
set fog-webroot fog
set boot-url http://${fog-ip}/${fog-webroot}

@ftgjason Well that would definitely cause an input output error. Here’s what my home fog server gives me for a registered MAC address.

This is using svn version 5956.

@ftgjason Given that it only happens on registered hosts, go into FOG Settings and disable menu items only available to registered hosts and see if that helps.

@Quazz I guess I am missing that setting, can you give me more info on what the actual heading is for the setting in Fog Settings. Thanks

Quazz · Sep 21, 2016, 6:36 AM

@ftgjason Configure Boot Menu or something like it. Then go over each option, it has a drop down menu for when you can see the items.

ftgjason · Sep 21, 2016, 1:49 PM

@Quazz @Wayne-Workman I have changed a thing or two that looks like what you are talking about, but nothing has changed on the capture end of things. Still not 100% certain on where the change needed to be made.

Quazz · Sep 21, 2016, 7:51 AM

@ftgjason Never mind that, I was kind of distracted and didn’t notice this was happening on capture not on the boot menu.

Check out the link Wayne posted.

ftgjason · Sep 21, 2016, 2:16 PM

@Wayne-Workman @Quazz Ok…combing through some of the logs…I find a host, which I assume is the FOG server itself, and it has the wrong ip address.
It should be 192.168.0.49 not the 192.168.20.49.
Am I on the right track?

@ftgjason Check storage node settings!

ftgjason · Sep 21, 2016, 2:19 PM

@Quazz it was there listed as one of my old storage nodes, but not the master. I deleted it. Will try to capture and see what happens.

ftgjason · Sep 21, 2016, 3:12 PM

Problem seems to be resolved.
I deleted the storage node that was showing up in apache error log. Not sure why FOG reverted to a storage node that was not listed as master, but it did.
After deleting, I have uploaded an image.
Words of wisdom from an idiot…When SVN up-ing, Make sure that you don’t delete your images, evidently there is a setting to delete images and I missed it. It is a bad thing to delete them. Worse than that…I did not have a backup of the images.
Happy Fogging.

@Wayne-Workman @Quazz Thanks for your support you guys are great to have around.
