Now, that part is working, I just copied over 1 image from the exteral hard drive onto the server into the images folder , what steps do I need to take in order for the new server to see the image ? Also what do I need to do in so that the clients can boot on the network and pickup an ip address?

When I typed in "[url]http://IP[/url] address/fog/management I’m getting Database Schema Installer/Updater, should I update it?

[quote=“Wayne Workman, post: 45807, member: 28155”]Try installing that manually.
[CODE]sudo apt-get install apache2[/CODE]

Then check the status of the install:
[CODE]service apache2 status[/CODE]

Post the output of these two commands, please.

When I followed the steps on this site
[url]http://www.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/FOG_on_an_Isolated_Network[/url]

I’m getting an error "“Checking package apache2… failed!”

[quote=“Tom Elliott, post: 45731, member: 7271”]My guess is you’re using a desktop variation of Ubuntu? Can you give us an output of [code]ls -l /{media,mnt}[/code][/quote]

its showing the external as Sda1

what’s the command to list [quote=“Wayne Workman, post: 45724, member: 28155”]Yeah then just use the code that Tom posted for script usage.

navigate to the directory for the backup script.
type:
[CODE]./FOGBackup.sh /mybackupdrive[/CODE]

[FONT=Consolas]So, if my external drive was mounted as “USB3_2TB” it would be something like this:[/FONT]

[FONT=Consolas][CODE]./FOGBackup.sh /USB3_2TB[/CODE][/FONT][/quote]
what’s the command to show me the name of that external drive in the command line? Bare with me i’m new to this.

[quote=“Wayne Workman, post: 45718, member: 28155”]If you’re running FOG on a Linux server build, it’s likely that the external drive is not automatically mounted.

Is the Ubuntu 14 a workstation/client install or the server install?

Can you access the external drive at all? If not, you’ll have to mount it…[/quote]

It is a workstation/client install and yes i can access the external drive.

[quote=“Wayne Workman, post: 45582, member: 28155”]I will add that if the FOG server is on your production network, FOG can name & then join the computer to the domain FOR YOU, automatically![/quote]

I"m trying to run this command "./FOGBackup.sh [directory]
Where it says directory how do I get that to go to my external drive for doing backups?

I see that there is a backup util for the fog server, is there a way to run that and have it point to a external hd that I have?

[quote=“Wayne Workman, post: 45582, member: 28155”]I will add that if the FOG server is on your production network, FOG can name & then join the computer to the domain FOR YOU, automatically![/quote]
It doesn’t need to join the domain, we usually just add it after the image is complete.

ok, I’m using Ubuntu 14.04.

So start with that walk through ?

Well, I need this server to hand out DHCP address just for imaging and then after the image is done I will set that computer to the domain which is a live network.

No I didn’t look at this walk though, just a youtube video.

Can someone walk me through on setting up a standalone fog server , this server cannot be on the production network, I have installed Ubuntu 14.04 on a HP Proliant .

Thank You

Has anyone installed Ubuntu 14.04 on a Hp Proliant DL 380 G3 , I would like to make this my fogserver ? Let me know if there was any problems with using that hardware.

Thank you

[quote=“Jaymes Driver, post: 45289, member: 3582”][code]
sudo chmod -R 0777 /images
[/code][/quote]

So I should do that after I copy over the images folder that is on the external hard drive?

[quote=“Jaymes Driver, post: 45158, member: 3582”]What version was your previous FOG server?

You shouldn’t have any issues, but when you copy your images into your /images folder, you will also need to create an image store for each image. You will also want to make sure that the path listed in the Image store is IDENTICAL to the folder that is storing the image.

The only thing you need to look out for is if your server is an older version, such as 0.32, or 0.33b. We upgraded the partimage to partclone and the images are not exactly reverse compatible, but there is a way to enable the Legacy flag so that you can continue to use your older images on a newer server. Personally, I’ve had better luck with deploying the image from a current server and uploading fresh to a new server.

For Example. Lets say one of your images is named Dell2015. When you add the image the the image store you will want to verify that the “Image File” box has the correct folder listed. In linux Dell2015 and dell2015 are NOT the same thing. If the folders are not correct, you will not be able to deploy your images, as FOG will not be able to find them.

After you copy your images to your new /images folder, you will want to issue a chmod command to allow global read/write privileges so that the image can be found and used.[/quote]

what’s the command for the chmod to allow global read/write?

I have a server that is having issues, but last week I backed up my images to an external hard drive, I was going to rebuild a server but I would like to know if there is any issues by copying over images from the external HD to the new server? If anyone has done this what steps did you take to make this process go smooth?

Thank You
