Optionally, you can use Mod_Alias for apache.

Ubuntu 10.04 LTS

I could not connect using the root account and a bad password out of 51,152 attempts using a php script.

Could this have anything to do with the BIOS settings for the HDD modes: SCSI, RAID, AHCI, IDE?

The imageID field is auto-increment in the database for Fog 0.32. So you just don’t pass it a value when you do the insert.

Say that you wanted to export FogServer1: Image23 to FogServer2. The steps to follow would be:
[LIST=1]
[]On FogServer1, make a copy of the image folder or image file from /images.
[]On FogServer2, store the image file or image folder to your /images.
[]On FogServer1, export the data you need for the image definition. You can do this using phpmyadmin. Select the record from the images table, click the export button. Uncheck to export the structure, make sure to check to export the data. Remove the imageID field from the fields list and the value from the values list (remove the comma with the value).
[]On FogServer2, import the data into the Fog database, images table.
[/LIST]
You can automate this with scripts if you are a scripting guy AND you do a lot of image copies to other fog servers. If not, it may be quicker to manually redefine the images in the webUI.

On 10.04 LTS [B]Server[/B], you should not have to make that change. Create a new thread with the particulars of your issue including Fog version, OS Version, and as much information about the error as you can. We’ll be glad to help you.

Find a kernel that supports your video cards. Most of the kernels available through fog support multiple video chipsets. Sometimes the KitchenSink (KS) kernels work better. Use the Kernel updater portion of the WebUI to try different kernels until you find one that works best. If you are up to it, compile a custom kernel that supports your hardware. It’s a bit scary for a beginner, but after doing it once or twice, it gets a lot easier.

In my setup, our domain is “domain.loc”

My Active Directory Defaults settings, under Other -> Fog Settings in the Web UI are:
FOG_AD_DEFAULT_DOMAINNAME: domain.loc
FOG_AD_DEFAULT_OU: [blank]
FOG_AD_DEFAULT_USER: domain\username
FOG_AD_DEFAULT_PASSWORD: [FOGCrypted password]

Also, make sure the account you are using is a member of the domain group BuiltIn\Account Operators, is a member of Domain Admins, OR has been delegated rights to add, delete, and manage computer accounts in the default “Computers” container and any other container in which you want to create computer accounts. I think there is a 10 computer limit on normal accounts adding computers to the domain.

This will drop the images table on the other servers and replace it with the one you exported. I’m not sure if you are trying to sync the images across all servers, or if some servers have different images than others.

You may have have to export just the rows for the image definitions you want and insert them into the other servers images table, letting mySQL autogenerate the image ID, or scripting your insert to use the next available image ID number.

You might be able to do this by creating a custom PXE boot menu option that loads the bootable CD/DVD image that came with your server. A bit beyond my scope, but people are booting to all kinds of things from the Fog boot menu these days. You’d want to boot the the setup utility, then create a image deployment task though. I don’t know how you can chain them together.

What version of Fog are you running and on what OS?

First off, are all your fog servers independent of each other? By this I mean, did you do a normal install on all 16 servers, or do you have 1 normal install and 15 storage node servers?

If they are all independent, then try this:
mysqldump the images table from the “main” fog server and restore it to the other fog servers.
Main Fog Server, run:
[CODE]#mysqldump -u root -p[password] fog images > images.sql[/CODE]
Other Fog Servers, run:
[CODE]#mysql -u root -p[password] fog < images.sql[/CODE]

So you have a netgear router that is not capable of PXE options in it’s DHCP server? Have you checked if there is a firmware update that may provide this option?

If not, then you’ll have to setup the ProxyDHCP for Fog using the article on the wiki, [url]http://www.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Using_FOG_with_an_unmodifiable_DHCP_server/_Using_FOG_with_no_DHCP_server[/url]

You might have to compile your own kernel. I compiled one to work with a tablet with similar specs. See [url]http://fogproject.org/forum/threads/compiling-a-custom-kernel-for-acer-iconia-tab-copied-from-old-forums.216/[/url]

Or you can message me and we’ll see if my kernel works for your hardware.

Might be better asked in the Developer forums

When these boot into Windows or other operating system, like the LiveCD of Ubuntu, are they able to get an IP address from DHCP? Can you release/renew without issue?

Have you tried joining them to the default computers container, i.e. leaving the OU field blank?

load the live disk and list the modules with lsmod. This may help you find all the drivers you need to compile into the kernel.

Here is some info on the R200 series servers that might help with the disk issue.

I thought all the Fog settings referred to an IP address and not the actual interface name. I know the /tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/default file has the IP address in it several places when referring to the website.

I’ll do my best, as I have not done it yet, but this is where I would start.
[LIST=1]
[]Download a subversion client.
[]Connect to repository
[]Download source files
[]run install script.
[/LIST]

When you installed Fog, it asked if you wanted to setup Fog as your DHCP server, and it configures it properly if you say YES. But you said NO, and it prompted you with instructions on how to update your existing DHCP server to modify options 66 and 67 (windows) or next-server and filename (linux). You must have missed these helper notes.

I think all you need to do is update your dhcpd.conf with the next-server and filename options for the scope definition. See: [url]http://www.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Modifying_existing_DHCP_server_to_work_with_FOG[/url]

Let me know if this helps. You may want to post your dhcpd.conf file (use code tags when posting to boards).
