TFTP Issues

[Tom Elliott]

TFTP_DIRECTORY needs to be:
TFTP_DIRECTORY="/tftpboot"

Once changed restart the tftpd-hpa service.

comments out the option (aka makes it so it doesn’t get used)

Also, on the default FOG install, the PXE boot files are in /tftpboot

[pencils]

added the line. now the ftp service wont load. Its saying that /tftpboot is missing.

[pencils]

OK. The Dir is actually /var/lib/tftboot. Which was i assume installed when fog was installed.

I have changed to reflect that now. however, Im still no closer to get the TFTP side to work.

[Tom Elliott]

I’m very confused. Why is TFTP setup for /var/lib/tftpboot? If you installed fog, it defaults to /tftpboot, not /var/lib/tftpboot.

[Tom Elliott]

@pencils And what do you mean ftp service? TFTP and FTP are 2 VERY different things.

[pencils]

@Tom-Elliott sorry tom. I meant the TFTP service. I installed 1.3 RC release and it installed it the the DIR i have already mentioned. On the FOG server the TFTP PXE KERNEL DIR is set to /var/www/fog/sservice/ipxe?

Should i make a copy of the folder to the root?

@pencils I’m pretty sure there is zero code in any version of fog that puts boot files anywhere but /tftpboot

What is the output of:
ls -lahRt /var/lib/tftpboot

What is doing DHCP in your setup?

[pencils]

@Wayne-Workman

Also the switch is doing is leasing IP address and have just got it to work with the two options. Question on Option 67, the wiki says to use file name UNDIONLY.kpxe. Is this correct?

[Wayne Workman]

@pencils those files are not files from fog 1.3.0

Did the installer even complete for you? Fog puts the boot files at /tftpboot and nowhere else.

[Quazz]

The files of /var/www/fog/service/ipxe are in your /var/lib/tftpboot folder and the the /tftpboot folder does not exist.

Try running the FOG installer again and hope it can fix this mess.
