with fog 0.32 exist some bugs to fix to get fog working:
0)patch the udpcast package.
-cut&paste patch file [url]http://www.pastebin.ca/2554510[/url] to /tmp/mcast_patch
-Download package [url]http://www.udpcast.linux.lu/download/udpcast-20120424.tar.gz[/url] to /tmp

• cd /tmp;tar xvf udpcast-20120424.tar.gz ; cd udpcast-20120424; cp …/mcast_patch . ; patch -p1 < mcast_patch
  -edit the …/lib/common/config.sh file in the FOG installation folder to look for the /tmp/udp-20120424 folder by changing the udpcastout variable to udpcast-20120424
  -install fog via fog_0.32/bin/installfog.sh with empty root mysql password

1. Go to your fog webdir. Probably at: /var/www/fog (UBUNTU TYPICAL) and substitute
   “&$tmp” variable at the end of lines of file tasks.confirm.include.php
   (various occurences) with “$tmp”

at this time works most procedures, except multicast deploying.

[quote=“Tom Elliott, post: 21377, member: 7271”]I don’t know for sure how to get them started, but I know that the Regular Active Tasks should NOT be displaying the multicast tasks.[/quote]

to start unicast:

group management -> list all group -> click on group name -> image association -> x
group management -> list all group -> click on group name -> os association -> x
group management -> list all group -> click on group name -> basic task -> deploy

to start multicast:

task management -> list all group -> deploy multicast, but don’t work giving the error in first message of this thread

[quote=“Tom Elliott, post: 21449, member: 7271”]Are you looking at multicast tasks or active tasks[/quote]

clicking on
group management -> list all group -> click on group name -> image association -> x
group management -> list all group -> click on group name -> os association -> x
group management -> list all group -> click on group name -> basic task -> deploy

starts unicast imaging.

task management -> list all group -> deploy multicast, but don’t work giving the error in first message of this thread

[quote=“Tom Elliott, post: 21443, member: 7271”]create a group of the hosts you’re trying to multicast to.

Then go into that group and set the host OS. It will apply the setting to all of the hosts within that group from one simple location.[/quote]

i already set host OS, and image for the group, but the multicast still don’t work…

and 19 tasks is created, not 1.

And in this way, first 10 pc images, others wait for open slot… and there are 10 different tcp transmission, not 1 for all 19, or 10 pc.

2 years ago i used the broadcast function, with 0.32 and was working… so there are a new bug introduced?

another suggestions?

[quote=“Tom Elliott, post: 21375, member: 7271”]It sounds to me you’re making a multicast task. Use that link on the task management page rather than the plain active tasks.[/quote]

to start the task i click on task management -> list all groups -> multicast. this is the correct way, right?

do, day2, fog don’t work. i retry tomorrow… we must patch the package and release 0.33stable version… the hours used to make run fog is too much.

i created a group containing 19 pc, then started a multicast deploy.

but if i reclick on “active task” button, the list shower on the web page is empty!
some ideas?

on the clients the error is: * No job was found for MAC Address: xx:xx:xx:xx:xx and retry to infinity

this is the error on multicast.log :

every time we install and use fog 0.32 minor bugs (but blocking) are present:

-udpcast install problem
-&$tmp variable in php file problem
-the broadcast imaging don’t work every time we must fix…

• • Setting up and starting MySql…Failed! when i try to reinstall fog over a existent install…

addittionally i remember that in past 2 process is running, the multicastserver and the scheduler. i cannot find the multicastserver:

i installed with all default option, not using nameserver and dns. =“N”

so in one day, from 8am to 18:30am i’m unable to install and use fog. I retry tomorrow

The people don’t use opensource if install and use it is a jungle! so tell me how to repackage a working fog (about 2 years ago i used and worked perfectly…)

is possible to repackage the release?

i rebooted the server, and the /opt/fog was deleted.

i removed /images dir (i have no space on this disk).

then i symbolic linked to another location(usb disk):

images -> /media/03f3128f-6142-47f8-a1a6-38b063439545/

but the client after image upload says: *unable to move /images/dev/mac to /images/imagename

howto fix/debug?

--------EDIT:--------

solved via chmod -R 777 /media

solved! thanks

I installed fog, then inventored a pc.
now i want to uplad the image but if i click on basic_task -> uplad nothing appenas and i view a blank webpage. here the log of apache error.log: [url]http://pastebin.com/41AkaR7v[/url]

Hi to all!

is possible to add [url]http://fogproject.org/forum/threads/setting-up-and-building-udpcast-failed.4548/[/url] patch to stable 0.32 release?

Ho i can contribute to develop and test the next release?
