The kernel page is fixed in the latest revision now.

Glad to hear you are up and running!

For now, whatever kernel you want to download, open a terminal to the fog sever and do this:

[CODE]cd /var/www/fog/service/ipxe

touch NAMEOFYOURDOWNLOADEDKERNEL

cd backup

touch NAMEOFYOURDOWNLOADEDKERNEL[/CODE]

And then use the UI to download the kernel, it should complete now.

Just make sure whatever name you are going to type into the box for the kernel is what you replace “NAMEOFYOURDOWNLOADEDKERNEL” with.

On a side note, if you leave the name bzimage it should download fine.

We are working on that issue.

Then your FOG server sees no external connection(to the internet).

Did you set it up with two NIC’s or just one?

If those pages don’t work then FOG is not seeing an external connection OR something is blocking the traffic to get to Tom’s site.

Does the login page display the FOG site info below the login box?:
[CODE]Estimated FOG sites: 4354

Latest Version: 0.32[/CODE]

Permissions and owners:
[CODE]drwxr-xr-x 2 fog fog 4.0K Apr 23 15:27 backup
-rw-r–r-- 1 fog root 11M Apr 18 16:32 bzImage
-rw-r–r-- 1 fog fog 13M Apr 23 15:27 bzImage2
[/CODE]

SQL Database.

I have exported my images table and imported it to another server, just keep the image names on the hdd the same and you won’t have to change anything.

Don’t forget to export your hosts and import them again.

use 12 or 13

1493?

If so the issue is likely password related.

Try setting your ftp info under the fog settings tab.

If that doesn’t work reset the password to what you have in the fog UI settings on the Ubuntu system itself.

Where did you get the latest version from?

“Ubuntu Server 14.04” This distro is barely a week old. I wouldn’t recommend using it for a server…

Also Revision [SIZE=13px][FONT=arial][COLOR=#262626]r1483 fixes your issue.[/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE]

Here is the fix as you’ve already installed:

Personally I only use the menu for joining new machines to FOG, after that I do everything from the webUI unless I need the debug menu.

And even now i’m not using that as much thanks to PDQ Invntory, I just export the machines from there into FOG.

From the wiki link I gave you about upgrading:

.32 does not officially support windows 8.

IF you can, set up a 33b server, it’s stable and nearing official release. It will handle windows 8 without problem.

If you feel daring here are the upgrade instructions but i STRONGLY recommend a fresh install of 33b.

Sometimes a machine will hang when the menu is already loaded causing it to skip right through due to the timeout being met already.

It should be 3 seconds by default.

Keep in mind most of us don’t want that menu hanging for a long period of time or users will ask us what it is or report the machines as not working just because a fog menu is there.

Specifically the configure dhcp section.

If you have an existing dhcp server, you should point it to your pxe server by doing something like the following
[CODE]subnet 192.168.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
<other config here>
filename “pxelinux.0”;
next-server <pxe host>;
}[/CODE]

Be sure to restart your dhcp server so that the changes take effect
[CODE]sudo /etc/init.d/dhcp3-server restart[/CODE]

filename “pxelinux.0”;

Should be

filename “undionly.kpxe”;

I would use .33

More features and is now a release candidate.
