Awesome, that did it. I think that’s all I need and I’ll be off and imaging, thanks. Now onto snap-ins…

Do I run sysprep on the machine I am uploading the image from? I’ve been looking for a good guide on how to do it, and I found this…

Do I need to foollow all of these steps prior to upload?

I was able to get the image to download to the client, but when it boots and I select boot from hard drive, it boots and opens start-up repair. I tried to have it fix the problem, but every time I boot it goes back to repair. Suggestions?

Looks like I was the confused one, I never tried to PXE boot to fog with the client I wanted to upload. Image is uploading now. Thanks again for all the help.

The machine I am uploading the image from has never been set to PXE boot, it just boots locally. I am trying to upload the image from that machine, and then PXE boot it on a second client computer. Just got in this morning and it is still rebooting, and there is still nothing in /images

I just started the upload, and when the task started, the client I am uploading from immediately restarted, and now it keeps restarting itself about 30 seconds after start up…

Thank you for all the help. I remember checking this multiple times before I started my own thread, but it turns out I wasn’t editing the root version of the config.php file. I just changed it to match my password, and I will update you on if the image was uploaded successfully tomorrow. Thanks again.

If I go into the tmp folder under root, it is the same as the images folder. There is a folder titled “images” and within it is an empty folder titled “dev”. I don’t think it is uploading the image at all. Is there a way to verify communication between the server and client? I can ping the server successfully, but is there anything else?

Okay I went to that folder and in it is a folder titled “dev” with nothing in it

Is the path for the images folder fog_0.32/packages/tftp/fog/images? Am I checking the right place? The only thing there is “init.gz”

When I try to deploy it to my other client I get the “unable to locate image file for <image> sys.img.000” message as if the image is not uploaded to the FOG server. I don’t think it is actually uploading the image, because I would think the wait time would be much longer than it was…This is why I tried to manually put the image on the server, to see if it was the uploading or the deploying that was the problem. I believe it is the upload.

It does not report successful on the client machine. I haven’t seen any messages on it, actually. I am trying to clone a Windows 7 machine, I just tried the multiple platforms all disks option and got a message I haven’t seen before. I am working on the FOG machine, I selected the host I want to upload from, I clicked upload, and it gives me the message: Unable to start task

New user to FOG, I’ve been trying to set it up for the last few days. I have been able to answer most of questions browsing this forum, but I haven’t found a solution to why my client won’t upload an image to fog. I thought the upload was successful, because the image showed up on FOG, but the image file wasn’t actually there, because when I try to PXE boot the image from another machine I get the message “unable to locate image file for <image> sys.img.000”. I tried to manually put an ISO on the server, but when I try to PXE boot my other machine, I get the message "can’t read the following volume file: /images/<image> Can anyone help?

I am running FOG 0.32, and Ubuntu 12.04 LTS on the server
