      Success! Dropped the files into /var/www and used set web-path to ${fog-ip}. In case anyone else has this issue this is my iPXE menu item parameters:
      set tftp-path tftp://${fog-ip}/os
      set web-path http://${fog-ip}
      set pe-path ${web-path}/pm11_winpe
      kernel ${tftp-path}/wimboot gui
      imgfetch --name BCD ${pe-path}/BCD BCD
      imgfetch --name boot.sdi ${pe-path}/boot.sdi boot.sdi
      imgfetch --name bootmgr ${pe-path}/bootmgr bootmgr
      imgfetch --name boot.wim ${pe-path}/boot.wim boot.wim
      boot || goto MENU

      @brakcounty Pleas run the following commands and post output here:

      ls -al /var/www ls -al /var/www/fog ls -al /var/www/html grep FOG_VERSION /var/www/fog/lib/fog/system.class.php grep FOG_VERSION /var/www/html/fog/lib/fog/system.class.php

      I guess what we have here is an install with two web directories.

      @brakcounty While I can imagine an upgrade to break things in rare cases I would not think this would happen for a service like ISC-DHCP which has been around for so many years. But hey, you never know. Everything is possible.

      Boot FOG on client PC using a special partition?

      @brakcounty Over all the details about GRUB I lost sight on what this topic is all about… The USB method uses GRUB as boot loader because it can be installed into MBR on the USB to be used to boot legacy machines. As I said before, the alternative USB boot method is not part of the official FOG stuff and has not had enough attention to be fully integrated yet. Not because it’s impossible to do but because we have way to many things on the list.

      Now that you use UEFI only in your setup you could skip GRUB altogether and directly boot using iPXE from the hard drive’s UEFI boot partition and should be able to use FOG exactly the way you would if it does PXE boot. For that you just grab one of the iPXE .efi binaries from your FOG server (e.g. /tftpboot/ipxe.efi) and but that on your disk’s EFI boot partition as \BOOT\EFI\BOOTX64.EFI (case doesn’t matter here as Windows will ignor it). When booting the iPXE binary will run its embedded script to get an IP from DHCP and chainload to the FOG boot menu.

      @brakcounty To get some more information, can you please schedule a debug deploy task (same as you would do a normal deploy task but just before you hit the last button in the web UI there is a check box for debug). Boot up the client as usual and let it boot up. Then you need to hit ENTER twice to get to the shell. Now type fog and ENTER again to start and step through all the process till you hit the error. It will throw you back to the shell. Now type:

      sgdisk -gl /images/Win10Standard_GPT_EFI/d1.mbr /dev/sda

      It surely will fail. Take a picture of the screen and post that here.

      @brakcounty said in customizations to ipxe menu not applying after updating to 1.5.7:

      One question though, from the main FOG ipxe menu, when i hit Deploy Image, and get the prompt to authenticate with fog/pass, that text is blue, i want it to be white. Where can i change that setting?

      In my test environment if I change the iPXE main colors (FOG Configuration -> FOG Settings -> FOG Boot Settings -> IPXE MAIN COLOURS) this is valid for all the text in the iPXE boot screens as well as for the password entry.

      @brakcounty Using FOG with more than one NIC is not officially supported. While it can be setup this way and mostly works it can still cause trouble as we see.

      I probably won’t find the time to set this up myself and test but you are more than welcome to investigate in which case it works or fails. If you need assistence on debugging this feel free to ask here.

      @brakcounty It contains all of the exportable items and more (like deployment history, inventory, snapin groups, and other things I can’t remember without looking). The fog database is everything except the raw image data stored in /images. With the metadata (mysql database) and the raw image files in /images you can rebuild your fog server from a fresh install.

      @Sebastian-Roth said in Updating FOG and retaining settings:

      @willian Upgrade will rewrite the DHCP config of your FOG server. So make a backup copy if you have modified it.

      I could even clone the server for testing but later I will see how I do.

      As well make sure you read und understand this before you upgrade: https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/13488/fog-1-5-7-officially-released

      Is there any important information in this topic about this issue? I read everything but I saw nothing related.

      Thanks.
