@dureal99d The syntax is:

ln -s <source> <destination>

You should remove the left/right carrots when running the command.
If all the ISOs are in /opt/bootimgs the command would be:
ln -s /opt/bootimgs /var/www/html

Of course, apache needs access to this new directory also. It’s fine to set ownership of /opt/bootimgs to apache:root or 777 or something.

And your resultant web path to these files would then be:
http://<IP>/bootimgs/whatever

How would I give apache permissions to the new folder?

I set the folder as chmod 777 and can now write into the folder on the local machine. but when I try to load any distro I now get the dreaded permissions denied on nfs mount. and the nfs is exported.

@Tom-Elliott yum doesn’t apply to me I’m on Ubuntu 16.04.1. it does offer for me to install it should I? @Tom-Elliott I have installed yum. and am executing the program you have told me too.

@Tom-Elliott Should i be trying to mount this share locally or on another machine?

@dureal99d can you post your exports file again?

/images *(ro,sync,no_wdelay,no_subtree_check,insecure_locks,no_root_squash,insecure,fsid=0)

@dureal99d those messages are fine
Any luck mounting now?

No luck

@Tom-Elliott no, i didnt know i had to, but will try it

@Tom-Elliott sudo mount 192.168.1.109:/opt/bootimgs/fedora /mnt

@Wayne-Workman ok ima get on it and post the results shortly

@Wayne-Workman said in How to pxe boot cent os 7:

you would still need to create a soft symbolic link from this new directory to somewhere in the web directory.

Ok how do i create this soft link?

@Tom-Elliott removed the suggested lines from the command same result

@Wayne-Workman as suggested by @george1421 I am moving all my files to a folder called /opt/bootimgs on my Linux box

@Tom-Elliott ok so i did as suggested and now i get this

mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on 192.168.1.109:/opt/bootimgs/fedora,
missing codepage or helper program, or other error
(for several filesystems (e.g. nfs, cifs) you might

   dmesg | tail or so.

@Tom-Elliott said in How to pxe boot cent os 7:

Is it in ipxe or just in cli

my cli is clearly wrong then as I just copied and pasted what @george1421 put a command I should use to mount and now that I look at it I probably read it wrong

@Wayne-Workman said in How to pxe boot cent os 7:

directory. This is a rather very nasty setup IMO - and

Ok I’m in the middle of moving it all to the suggested location as we speak.

@Wayne-Workman I see, well clearly i have a lot to learn about nfs. and i am at another station trying to “linux” of course trying to mount the share.
