1.4.0 RC 8 pxe boot failure

[code7]

Server

• OS: Ubuntu Mate 16.04

Client

Description

After upgrading to 1.4.0 RC 8 from the current git master branch, pxe booting client machines fails with an I/O error on http://<fog server ip>/fog/service/ipxe/boot.php

Going to it in a web browser without args outputs a seemingly incomplete ipxe script:

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

@code7 please also post the tail of the apache error log. That will tell us why the ipxe menu isn’t being built correctly.

for the time being, please update FOG Configuration Page->FOG Settings->Web Server->FOG_WEB_HOST to match the IP address setting of your FOG Storage Node.

This was fixed and working in RC-7, but some merge reverted some of the originally implemented code. The merge didn’t show me the reverted code and I had to manually look at everything between RC-7 to my current state to re-implement the changed out code. This has been fixed for working and will be working properly for 1.4.0.

Here’s the error log data.

Any update after updating again?

[code7]

Yes, that portion seems to be working now. On to the next bug…
