This is much easier and from a command line.

Edit the file freespace.php in your web-root (/var/www/fog/status/) (on centos 6 see /var/www/html/fog/status):
define( “SPACE_DEFAULT_STORAGE”, “/home/fog/images/” );
You may also need to modify the permissions for the /home/fog directory. It is suggested that you use:
chmod 701 /home/fog
Create .mntcheck file in your new “images” and “dev” folders :
touch .mntcheck
That’s the ticket! Installed without a hitch.
Err… had to manually restart the mysql service to get it to work even after a fresh installation.
Also had to edit the settings in /opt/fog/service/etc/config.php to reflect the proper mysql user, and host.
[code]
sudo gedit /opt/fog/service/etc/config.php
[/code]
Make sure that
Define (“MYSQL_HOST”, “localhost”),
Define (“MYSQL_DATABASE”, “fog”),
Define (“MYSQL_USERNAME”, “root”),
Define (“MYSQL_PASSWORD”, “”),
are all set correctly, save and close.
then run [code]sudo mysql service restart [/code]
navigate to the fog web page localhost/fog/management and complete the set up.
something is still referencing the wrong file.
Can not stat '…/packages/udpcast-20071228.tar.gz I’m heading home for the afternoon I can try more tomorrow.
I believe you are correct about UDPCast… Its close…
sed can’t read /lib/config.sh: No such file or directory should be /lib/common/config.sh
Tom, it will ask you to create a mysql password in the current operating window… so if he still had the command window open from running ./installfog.sh Then, from my experience using FOG and Ubuntu, mysql would have taken the window and finished installation there. I think there is a problem with the repo he is trying to use.
Try these steps.
from a command line type
[code]
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get update
sudo ./installfog.sh
[/code]
if you would like to re-try on your current set up you need to run [code]sudo apt-get autoremove mysql-server[/code] reboot, then run the fog installer again.
mySQL works with 13.10 and it installed without issues. I had complications installing anything without root but once you put sudo in front of the command it should go without a hitch. I would first run the apt-get clean and apt-get update so it has clean and updated repos.
NOW I want to warn you… UPDcast will fail installation I am still working on that one. Honestly, I would spin up Ubuntu 12.10 and use my installation guide here on the forums in the mean time.
Negative, DNSMasq is a service you install on your FOG server.
I’m your local Ubuntu nut, I will spin up 13.10 and see what I can find. In the mean time I would try the 12.10 Ubuntu, I have not had any trouble setting it up in the past.
Alright, in that case the issue is specific to your new machines, or their hardware. I would install the DNSmasq service and give it a go. Since the TFTP service is currently working we can rule it out as a possibility that is did not get started.
Something to note: In my Novell environment we are using IP helper addresses to get the information where i needs to be, unfortunately I can NOT shed light on this as I am still new to the corporation and I don’t fully understand any of it, or where I would edit those settings.
When I started working with FOG I had very little knowledge of the infrastructure we used. I set up the “Next-Server” option the “boot file” option and installed DNSmasq. I spoke with one of my other colleagues to update the “ip helper”
FIRST… I would see if the tftp service is working… From a windows box open a command prompt and issue the following command
[code] tftp x.x.x.x get pxelinux.0 [/code] I would do it form a machine that was able to image before.
What was the output?
Earlier chad asked you to boot a machine known to work with FOG, instead you used the cable. I want to make sure the service is running on the server for the machines to talk to. You can run the command, or pxe boot an old machine known to work.
My recommendation:
Use the DNSmasq service for your server, not a proxy dhcp.
DNSMasq IS the proxyDHCP this way and ti will ONLY be used during pxe.
[quote=“chad-bisd, post: 21390, member: 18”]Are you running proxy DHCP server on the novell system? I remember our old Novell Configuration Management server had a proxy process that helped machines connect with PXE. I had to modify our FOG setup to use ProxyDHCP so that come clients would pxe-boot because they failed to download the initial file over TFTP (bad chunk error). Some of the systems are running realtek nics, the others are using ASIX usb-to-ethernet adapters.[/quote]
I second the notion for ProxyDHCP I run an old Novell Environment and it was the only way to get my pxeboot file to it’s destination. Everything we have is Realtek NIC.
to “Upgrade” your fog installation, download the tar.gz, unzip and run installfog.sh once again.
Thanks for all of your work Tom, I know we keep telling you, but I feel if we don’t take rounds you will stop updating 
Speaking of update, I’m going to go update my 0.33b server 
My main concern with this switch is messing something up… the nice part is the CNA (link below) will let you back up settings and configurations, NOW THAT IS A LOAD OFF!!!
Since I was no longer scared to break it… I managed to solve my issue

Log into your managed switch with the administrative username and password.
Click Configure on the left hand side. Choose Port Settings from the list.
Select all ports to be used for PXE boot. Click Modify. Enable Port Fast. Save. Close open windows.
With Configure still selected, choose IGMP Snooping. Click the “Multicast Router Ports” tab.
Click Create, enter the number of the vlan you wish to apply changes to, select all ports to enable multicast on (Select All click Add) click the apply button, settings may take a few minutes to take affect.

I have looked at the settings that I can edit/change via the management software… I have a feeling I need one of those LAN Console cables to program the silly thing… Any expertise you have is greatly appreciated like I said, this is a learning experience for me, I know NOTHING on how to manage this switch.

{ORIGINAL POST}
Hey all,
I’m touching base here and hoping to find some information.
Normally I work HP Pro-Curve equipment, but one of my school buildings had a new addition added to it and along with it, a whole new switch and network was added to the building that was purchased by the installation contract (So we got the equipment that the normally set up), installed by the contractors, and managed by the contractors. Now that they are gone, I have no one to help me to square away the new issues that are arising.
I am looking for someone versed in these managed switches that can help me to get the new addition talking to the rest of my network properly. Currently DHCP, and Novell are working. Each machine is doled IP addresses from my DHCP server as expected, the units can log in and talk to my sever, tree, context all that good stuff. I can browse my NDS, but my fog server is not passing the PXE boot information through the new switches. I use the dchpmasq service to normally allow my units to boot via pxe, and the rest of the building is still working as expected THANK GOD, but the new addition is giving me fits!
I can unplug my new Cisco managed switch and replace it with a “hub” of sorts and I can still see my pxe boot information as expected so I am thinking that there is maybe an IP helper or something along the lines that I need to update/add.
So anyone with expertise or suggestions, I am open
That may be a possibility. You can try the Partimage solution.
But as VincentJ stated, it could be a problem with the IDE nature of the hard drives in the virtual hardware itself. I know when I use VMWare I had to build a custom kernel that included scsi drives just to be able to upload, and it was ALWAYS painful to upload from VMWare. I [U][B]NEVER[/B][/U] solved the issue with slow uploads. I switched to using VirtualBox instead. It uploads WAYYYYY faster than VMWare could have hoped to.
I know that’s probably not what you wanted to hear, but I would test some other physical hardware (Nothing spectacular just upload and image and push it to a test machine) so you can see if the speeds are normal. If the image uploads/downloads at a decent rate, you know the issue has to be with the virtual hardware. In which case I would recommend building a custom kernel, which MAY NOT solve the issue.
Hell I will link you another topic I was a part of about this discussion maybe you can pull some information from it.
[URL=‘http://fogproject.org/forum/threads/slow-upload-from-vmware-esxi.4541/#post-13208’]http://fogproject.org/forum/threads/slow-upload-from-vmware-esxi.4541/[/URL]
[url]http://fogproject.org/forum/threads/increase-vmware-host-upload-speeds.4388/[/url]
In these particular topics you can see the discussion I had with the posters, some decided to barate me instead of condusively figuring out the issue. Some people have no issues with VMWare, but I never could get anyone to stick around long enough to troubleshoot the issue with me.
