Here is what we did:

Reformatted our computer with Ubuntu 11.04 and downloaded FOG 0.32
Then
Attemped to install FOG, and ran into several “fails”. Such as apache errors, php2 errors and several others.

Then:
Formatted the computer with 12.04 and downloaded FOG 0.32
Then
Attempted to install FOG, and still ran into several “fails”. All of which were the same errors as before.

Could it be possible that the version of FOG that we have been downloading is bad or missing files? We did have it working at one time, but we ran into some errors with DHCP. We now have a computer just for DHCP, meaning that the only thing on it is Windows Server 2008 and a separate computer just for FOG.

Any help at this point would be greatly appreciated.

Thank You

Adam & Kyle

it Bash’s with the sudo,

I completely wiped out my computer, installed ubuntu 12.04, installed updates, ran the fog install, and I get to the point where I have to manually install every package by running sudo apt-get php5 and so on down the list for every package, I have never experienced this before and don’t know what the problem could be at this point

Okay i will do that, what is the OS that you currently see to work best?

It doesn’t, now it is back to the previous error. I have installed fog previously and this time was different as i had to sudo almost every pack such as tftpd-hpa to get it to this point, i don’t know if that is part of this issue?

Thanks for the help on that, I ran it and now i get to the same point and get this

" * Setting up and starting Apache Web Server…/lib/ubuntu/functions.sh: line 391: /usr/sbin/sysv-rc-conf: Permission denied
…Failed! "

I am installing on ubuntu 11.10 and if you could, please help me with the line for chmod, never seen that before, sorry for my illiteracy

That sequence “bash’s” when I try it, I believe it has something to do with the
/usr/sbin/sysv-rc-conf line 479.

but I am not fluent in reading those types of files

I’m not sure what you mean by install.sh , sorry, this is what i tried

Hello all!

My current settings have FOG handing DHCP.

Here are my problems, some could be user error.

I was able to clone several computers with my current set up with no problems. I then moved my server into the LMC with the intent of cloning all 50 computers. But when I booted the FOG server, registered all the computers, installed the client on all the machines and attempted to clone I was unable too. I booted the computer from PXE like normal and it did not find the server.

So I did some reading online and I read that I may have to restart DHCP and or MYSQL? Does this sound right?

I can go to my current IP address (10.0.175.162) in the search bar and it says “it works!” I can also log into 10.0.175.162/fog/management. But it seems like when the computers can’t find the server the web interface is really slow.

So then I restarted the computer, unhooked the server from the computers and tried it again and it worked! I also noticed that the web interface was much faster.

I hope you can help me and I was detailed enough!!

Thanks

Cloned 6 computers in about 20 minutes!!!

Thanks for the all the help

Success!!! I am in the process of uploading an image!!!

Woohooo!!!

I am going to get a fresh start. I am going to reinstall Ubuntu 11.04 version

Hello again!

I was thinking one day and thought I may need 2 network cards for my computer to make FOG work? Not sure why, So I tried it and the computer did not boot from PXE.

So then my next venture was to start from scratch, so I reinstalled FOG. Then I got this message-- * Setting up and starting Apache Web Server…Failed!

So here is my current set-up

That is as far as I got. I did take out the extra card. Here is my network information.
IP-10.0.175.162
Broadcast Address-10.0.255.255
Default Router-10.0.0.2
Primary DNS- 64.33.128.10

Our current DHCP server can’t be modified. So I selected FOG to handle DHCP. I hope I was detailed enough! Thanks!

Yes, I hit F12 and selected Boot From PXE.

Ill keep trying.

Thanks again

Sorry for being vague
And…nothing—this means the client machine did not boot from PXE

Did I miss a step?
Probably something simple

Thanks Again

Hello again!

Here is what I did and it didn’t work, I know shocking:

Set up my fog server to handle DHCP…I think
Connected my fog server to a switch no hooked to the internet
Connected the client to the same switch as the fog server
And…nothing

Can someone check my fog settings?

I can’t have my fog server hooked to our current network…it causes some problems

Thanks!!!
