Hello,
i think i have a lot of duplicate options… this is a image i posted on the other topic
https://forums.fogproject.org/uploads/files/1435136067281-fog1.png

unfortunately the restart didn’t change anything and also reinstalling mysql nothing happen.

i did

sudo apt-get remove mysql-server
sudo apt-get install mysql-server

thanks for the support

yeah, a lot of hours wasted for a trivial error… actually we are for re-do all the network and add a lot of new servers, it can be the right time for do a complete documentation.

what about the new error? I tried to google it but i can’t find others people with the same problem, i hope it is fixable!
thanks a lot

----- UPDATE

I discovered i can’t modify anything, for example if a try to create a new image i can do it but after i don’t see the new image in the list, is like i have only read permissions…

Hello guys, thanks a lot for your answers. Yesterday i was home so i didn’t tested anything, now i’m here.

i tried to follow the ‘IP conflict’ way… i changed the reservation from DHCP to another ip that i was sure it was free (192.168.148.192) i updated the DHCP fog info (i put again the undionly.kpxe instead of the .kkpxe) and followed the first part of this wiki https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki//index.php?title=Change_FOG_Server_IP_Address and fortunately i found also this page https://www.designwright.com.au/articles/update-a-fog-server-ip-address because it explain how to modify the default.ipxe file (maybe someone should update the wiki!) and finally i can get in the FOG menù at every boot.

…and YES there was an ip conflict! from the dhcp server i could see the 192.16.148.25 (old ip) was free but probably a client took it because after i changed the FOG server to the new ip i could still ping 192.16.148.25 and i see a device from a ip scanner

unfortunately i don’t know how to understand which device it is because i tried to do ‘ping -a 192.16.148.25’ but i only get the ip address and also from Spicework if i try to search the mac address i can’t find it. I also tried to search the mac address on the DHCP server but nothing. Anyway it is just a curiosity because now i don’t need that ip.

NOW i have another problem, but i hope this time it will be easier. Since i update FOG to 1.2.0 i noticed that i lost every host previously registered, not a big problem because i register only a few hosts because it was a pretty new installation… the problem is that i cannot register any new host. If i try from the pxe menù to do a quick or a full registration i get this error:

and also if i try to register a new host on the the website it says ‘Host added’ but if i i click on ‘List All Hosts’ i can’t see any host. do you have any idea?
thanks a lot

the ip of the server is still the same (i also browse the FOG site with the ip in the address bar) and also in the dhcp server i see only it with his ip, maybe i can try to change it just for see what happen. thanks again

i forgot to say that the server was working well, than we moved our dhcp server to another machine (window server 2008) and FOG starts to has problems. at the start i thought the FOG has problems also with its site because i couldn’t reach it from my pc so i did many tries and i discovered my pc had a problem…many hours wasted but this is the best way to learn. so here the new configuration on the new dhcp server my colleague did. It seems ok for me, so i will try to do the TCPDump. Thanks again

Hi Wayne,
thanks for yours answer. unfortunately same error.

Hi guys, i love FOG but sometimes i hate it! it think our story is 1/2 love and 1/2 hate.

I have a problem, the site is working well but i cant register any host or download upload anything because i have this annoying TFTP timeout error. !

I’m on ubuntu server 14.04.2 LTS and i had the 1.0.0 version of FOG, i updated it yesterday because it was not working.
actually i have to manually start the mysql service after each reboot or i get the database error when i try to reach the FOG page, i fixed it before an ubuntu update.
i also noticed that many FOG settings are duplicate, here an example.

i also tried to do

sudo stop tftpd-hpa
sudo start tftpd-hpa

and i can see the FOG ipxe menù but if i select something (like full registration) it give the TFTP open timeout screen.

here the Config.class.php

The firewall is disabled and if i try to do tftp x.x.x.x get undionly.kpxe from a windows pc it can download the file…

I don’t know what else i can do, do you have any suggestion?
thanks a lot for your work guys.

Hello, sorry i forgot to update with the solution… what happened to me was the disk space on the storage was near to the end so when i uploaded the image of the new PC probably it uploaded it corrupted but it didn’t said anything so i thought it was everything ok with the image indeed it was 24gb… so when i tried to image a new pc the cloning process was skipped and i dind’t know why so i thought the fault was of FOG because it was fucking the HD partition on the new partition so everytime i had to use a partition manager for do again the mbr table on the hd. after that i played a bit with the option in the pxe menu and i set the option to go on the menu only if a specific key was pressed so thats was the cause it was not booting on the pxe menu. It was a really easy easy thing but like everything, it was easy just when you discover it. :mad:

ps. of course you have to have a dhcp server who say to the clients where to try the pxe boot!
