@Dino_Nerd I can’t say for sure. By default when you create a vm its bios/legacy mode. I can’t see why it wouldn’t. EFI mode under virtual box is a bit wonky, but VMWare esxi or workstation should be OK. You’ll know right away if it will work or not because centos won’t boot if its wrong.
I’ll start a new thread when I hit the roadblock I was getting before, thanks so much for your help
@Tom-Elliott said in CentOS 7 Problems:
The really feels like a double installation almost. Though I don’t know quite how to describe it.
I’ve fresh installed CentOS with fog at least 5 times now and keep getting the same result
I attempted a fog installation with Archlinux as well and got this same result.
by fresh install, I mean wiping the hard drive completely and installing a brand new OS, then installing fog
@Tom-Elliott said in CentOS 7 Problems:
Also can you please check FOG Configuration Page->FOG Settings->Web Server->FOG_WEB_ROOT and make sure it’s not set to
WEB_ROOT, aka please set to/fog/
@Tom-Elliott said in CentOS 7 Problems:
Are you doing any weird redirects? For example FOG is expecting to look to /var/www/html/fog (http://SomeIP/fog/)
But you have it set to go: http://someIP and it’s passing you to the fog site?
This is a clean install, I haven’t changed any settings that aren’t stock
@george1421 said in CentOS 7 Problems:
@Dino_Nerd I’ll ask the same question yet again
@Dino_Nerd Were you able to complete the steps that Sebastian requested
@Dino_Nerd Can you access/download the picture (http://192.168.0.15/fog/service/ipxe/bg.png) or the kernel (http://192.168.0.15/fog/service/ipxe/bzImage) from your browser?
yes and yes.
Sorry I thought I already answered this but I guess I hadn’t.
I also reinstalled as BIOS machine instead of UEFI
My currently running FOG server is CENTOS 7 BIOS. I updated the requested files below
Is there a solution to this?
I’d be very surprised if debian was more stable than a RHEL based OS.

If you can then the web bits are in place and correct.
Just to be sure you did set selinux to permissive right?
yes,
root@fog:~# getenforce
Permissive

followed the steps found here: https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=CentOS_7#Installing_CentOS_7
to install fog on CentOS 7
some system information:
The problems are these
no background image on the menu, perhaps there is one and I just haven’t set it. Is there a wiki page on setting this up in CentOS?
Unable to register the host, claims there is no bzImage
Thanks in advance

@george1421 said in Parted Magic not working in pxe boot:
@Dino_Nerd Centos 7.x and 6.5+ work with FOG. That is what we run on our campus. This IS a current issue with centos 7 in that a defective rpcinfo rpm was released. I believe they just update that in the repo. But other than that, fog works perfectly on cento 7.
Any idea if it works as a UEFI booted VMWare workstation Virtual machine?
Is there any advantage to using UEFI over BIOS for a FOG server?
