@george1421 Well progress is good.

I can pxe boot the dell (redhat) kernel with this

Menu Item: os.platformR620
Description: Platform Specific Firmware R620
Parameters:
kernel tftp://${fog-ip}/os/dell/psf620/SA.1
initrd tftp://${fog-ip}/os/dell/psf620/SA.2
imgargs SA.1 initrd=SA.2 root=live:http://${fog-ip}/dellsquashfs.img rootfstype=auto rd.live.image rd.writable.fsimg rw DEBUG=0 share_type=NFS loglevel=7 BUILD=0 selinux=0 edd=off rd.md=0 rd.dm=0 quiet – share_script=drm_files/apply_bundles.sh
boot || goto MENU
Menu Show with: All Hosts

SA.1 and SA.2 to into the /tftpboot path and squashfs.img -> dellsquashfs.img goes into the http root of /var/www/html

It boots but doesn’t complete what is needed. But I have access to the command prompt. Focus is on this parameter now: share_type=NFS

Some searching on the target system shows these options:

Now we know the script that is responsible to making the connection and the values supported for share_type.

looking into the script I see two new clues.

$share_location and $share_opts making an NFS mount.

@alansopro If you don’t get anything in the apache error logs you need to check PHP-FPM log or even try syslog/messages as you will get the error on those on some systems. If we don’t know the error, we can’t fix it unfortunately.

@alansopro Do you still see the issue happen?

@alansopro Why not use CentOS 7? It is free, and newer. We even have this spiffy tutorial for it: https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=CentOS_7

Clearly the build you have has issues. These would likely be resolved in CentOS 7.

@Tom-Elliott

Okay. That fixed it. I had already modified what you told me to type. I just never did the /etc/exports. Once I did that it all worked. 🙂

Thank you!

@alansopro There is indeed a new fog client, though the old one is there as a just in case but probably has its own set of issues. Besides, I HIGHLY encourage all people to use the new client. It’s much faster and less taxing on the FOG Server. While the old client wasn’t overly rough (after its initial load up) it still had it’s own issues to think/worry about.
