@sebastian-roth it’s working now. I had the wrong bootfile Name in option 67 on my DHCP server.

@sebastian-roth The majority of my servers are hosted off-site and have the 10.4.58 IP range. Any devices located in my office, such as my FOG server, have the 192.168.30 IP range.

FOG server - 192.168.30.16
DHCP server - 10.4.58.10

My original plan was to upgrade my current FOG server and keep it as a standalone server. However, when I couldn’t get that to work I decided to go this route. Any assistance you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I’ve abandoned my plans to try to setup the server as a standalone. I’m now getting the IP addresses from my DHCP server. When I attempt to boot a laptop to upload and image, I receive the attached TFTP error message. I’ve combed though the forums looking for a solution, but had no luck. Any suggestions anyone can provide would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

@george1421 sorry, correct image attached here0_1525264255931_IMG_1227.pdf

@george1421 I’ve attached a screen shot of the error message. When I setup my FOG server in the past, I was able to setup and IP address for the FOG server, a router IP address for the DHCP server, and an IP address to be used for DNS on the DHCP server and client boot image. With the newest installation of FOG, I was prompted for everything except the IP address for DNS on the DHCP server and client boot image. I’m guessing this is the problem. Does anyone know how to set this up with the new version of FOG? Am I missing something obvious? Thanks.

@george1421 When I setup FOG, I gave it a IP address of 10.1.10.13, a router address for the DHCP server of 10.1.10.1. I’m reviewing the procedure I’ve used in the past and realized I was never asked during the FOG installation to provide a DNS address on the DHCP server and client boot image. Is that possibly the issue

Sorry, I misspoke when I said the laptop could ping the FOG server.

Yes, my FOG server has 2 network cards installed

I tried to upload a screen shot several times, but it wont let me. The error reads…

No DHCP or proxyDHCP offers were received.

Thanks.

I setup a brand new FOG server. I’m using version 1.5.2. When I attempt to upload a new image from a Windows 7 laptop, it times out (for lack of a better term) at the point where it’s looking for DHCP. My FOG server is not on my network. I have the FOG server setup to manage DHCP. I used this setup in the past and it worked, so I’m sure I’m just missing something obvious. The FOG management console PC is able to see the FOG server, and I’m able to ping the FOG server from the laptop I’m trying to upload. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thank you.

@george1421 thanks for your directions. I was able to get the newest version of FOG up and running on my server. Thanks again.

@george1421 I installed Ubuntu 16.04.4 and then followed your steps to install the latest FOG version from github but still got the same results. The installation starts, it installs or skips a bunch of packages. I get to the end, and it tells me the Installing now everything updated has failed and it takes me back to the prompt. I also see that it failed to install the php-mysqlnd package.

George,
Thanks for your response. I’m not concerned about my images. I have those backed up to an external drive. I was attempting to do a clean install. Yes, I was using some older software, but as I stated, I did so because that’s what worked for me in the past. After posting, I tried a newer version of Ubuntu - 16.04.4 and Fog 1.4.4. At the end of the installation the very last line reads:
Installing now everything is updated…Failed!
So, I am at a dead end again.

I am trying to setup a clean install of my FOG server. I’m using Ubuntu 12.04 simply because I have no Linux background, and that’s the version I used on the prior FOG server and it worked. I’m following a written procedure I created when I setup the FOG server originally, so I know it’s worked in the past. After installing Ubuntu I ran all updates and upgrades before installing the FOG software. I pulled FOG version 1.4.4 from the sourceforge website. I was previously using version 1.2.0 (I think). During the installation of the FOG software I received a message that PHP failed to install properly. The installation process could not find /etc/php/7.1/apache2/php.ini. I recall at one point being prompted at the beginning of the FOG installation process that I should let it remove some PHP and Apache files, which I let it do. I’m not well versed on Linux at all, so I"m kind of lost. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your time and patience.

I appreciate the feedback, however, as you said, I have to remain productive at work. I have been without an imaging server for 3 days now and the customers aren’t going to continue to wait. I have made changes via the web GUI without any issues so far. In order to try to determine which changes are causing the problem, I am saving after each change instead of waiting to save once all changes are done. It’s tedious, but it might help isolate the problem. I will re-post if I experience it again. Thank you all for you assistance.

[quote=“Tom Elliott, post: 43772, member: 7271”]remove the [/code[ part of the command that was a typo on my side[/quote]

I made the changes, but it did not resolve the issue. I finally just wiped the server and started over. I’m back in the management portal, but am concerned to make any changes. Does anyone know which items are causing this problem?

[quote=“Tom Elliott, post: 43762, member: 7271”]So you set a password for your mysql?

Change the code to:
[code]mysql -u root -p fog[/code[

Enter the password set for the mysql user. Once in:

[code]
update globalSettings set settingValue=‘1’ where settingKey=‘FOG_INACTIVITY_TIMEOUT’;
exit;[/code][/quote]

Ok Tom, I’m clearly typing something incorrectly. Received "Unknown database ‘fog[/code[’ I’ve tried several different ways of typing it but no luck.

Tom,
I’m getting a message “Access denied for user ‘root’ @ ‘localhost’ (using password: NO)”.

I’m having the same problem. I just finished setting up my first FOG server. I made some changes through the web interface, and now I am unable to log back in. I’ve read the thread, but am uncertain what I need to do. As some of you who helped me earlier know, I’ve only been working with Ubuntu for the past couple of days. I have zero understanding of MySQL. If you can provide some guidance perhaps my situation can help you find a fix. Thanks again.

I followed these steps and it resolved my problem. I was able to get the FOG software successfully installed, and am now able to connect to FOG manager. Thanks to all for your assistance.

I will try this out when I get back to the office tomorrow.

Could any of this be hardware related?

I don’t have to use the non-GUI version. I chose it because that’s what the prior server had on it. You think it would be helpful to try the GUI version?
