It seems like it would be easier to just restore the image to a client, but I had to find a way.

All of this is done on Debian 7 and like Wayne I would not advise you doing this on your production server.

Install ntfs-3g, partclone, and pigz
Decompress image and restore to a file

apt-get install ntfs-3g partclone pigz

The only way I could find to clear it was through the database.

You could use the event scheduler to automatically clear the table.

Here’s what I came up with to remove completed tasks older than a month.

USE fog;
CREATE EVENT clear_snapinTasks
ON SCHEDULE AT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP + INTERVAL 1 MONTH
DO
DELETE FROM fog.snapinTasks WHERE stCompleteDate < DATE_SUB(NOW(), INTERVAL 1 MONTH);

If you add this to your PXE configuration it should work.

Change x.x.x.x to the FOG IP Address.

MENU TITLE Fog Reimage Menu
MENU COLOR TITLE        1;36;44    #ffffffff #00000000 std

Taken from: https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Chainloading_PXE_to_iPXE_using_pxelinux.0

Found this thread on the iPXE forums.

No idea if this will help but all files were built with debugging enabled and latest commit as of today. It will also drop you into the shell on dhcp failure.

The ISO in this thread should still work: https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/4782/help-usb-boot-fog/27

You can write it to your USB drive with dd if=ipxe.iso of=/dev/sdb bs=4M Just replace sdb with your drive.

Do you have other E6540s that work?

I have had this issue with some Lenovos in the past. Updating the BIOS and resetting to defaults usually fixes it, but when it doesn’t we’ve had to replace the NIC.

No idea if this is the best way, but it seems to be working. I’ll let y’all know when it finishes compressing.

for f in *.img; do mv "$f" "${f%.img}-bak.img"; done
for f in *bak.img; do pigz -d -c $f | pigz -9 > "${f%-bak.img}.img"; done

Here is the ipxe files built with debugging, it also exits to shell instead of rebooting.

What about something like this?

Just circling back to the original issue. Can you ping from a device on the 200 network to a device on the 172 network?

If not, what do you have as your layer 3 device?

The only way I could find to clear it was through the database.

You could use the event scheduler to automatically clear the table.

Here’s what I came up with to remove completed tasks older than a month.

USE fog;
CREATE EVENT clear_snapinTasks
ON SCHEDULE AT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP + INTERVAL 1 MONTH
DO
DELETE FROM fog.snapinTasks WHERE stCompleteDate < DATE_SUB(NOW(), INTERVAL 1 MONTH);

Is mysql running? You can typically check by running service mysqld status

If so, can you log into mysql using the credentials in config.class.php?

Grep your credentials with:grep DATABASE /var/www/html/fog/lib/fog/config.class.php

root@Fed-Fog:~# grep DATABASE /var/www/html/fog/lib/fog/config.class.php
        define('DATABASE_TYPE', 'mysql'); // mysql or oracle
        define('DATABASE_HOST', 'localhost');
        define('DATABASE_NAME', 'fog');
        define('DATABASE_USERNAME', 'fog');
        define('DATABASE_PASSWORD', "password");

Test your connection with:mysql -u fog -p

root@Fed-Fog:~# mysql -u fog -p
Enter password:
Welcome to the MariaDB monitor.  Commands end with ; or \g.
Your MySQL connection id is 10385683

Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the current input statement.

MySQL [(none)]>

To continue on with @THEMCV 's solution.

Either change the following in 000-default.conf
DocumentRoot /var/www/html to DocumentRoot /var/www

or the block @THEMCV posted would change to:

a2ensite 000-default
service apache restart
mkdir /var/www/html/dban
mount -t iso9660 -o loop /iso/dban.iso /var/www/html/dban```

First, I haven’t tested this. If I had a usb drive laying around I’d gladly test it first.

Do you know how many partitions you have in your image?

On your server you can run ls /images/W7PUniversalx64STANDARD

I only have one partition, here is my output:

root@Fed-Fog:~# ls /images/StaffWindows10/
d1.fixed_size_partitions  d1.mbr  d1.minimum.partitions  d1.original.fstypes  
d1.original.swapuuids  d1p1.img  d1.partitions

My thoughts:
Set up a bootable linux usb. It needs to have at least partclone and pigz installed.
Copy the d1p1.img file to a usable spot on the drive at /images/d1p1.img for ease.
Boot the machine from the usb
Partition disk correctly, and create filesystem
Write the image to the hard drive using:
cat /images/d1p1.img | pigz -dc | partclone.restore --ignore_crc -O /dev/sda1 -N -f 1

I’ll bring a drive tomorrow to test and follow up.

Those having issues, do you have any errors in your Apache logs?

Fedora/CentOS

tail /var/log/httpd/error_log

Debian/Ubuntu

tail /var/log/apache2/error.log

Good catch, the post has been modified.

Can you get to a terminal on your server?
