66 was my ip address of the FOG server, in this case 10.8.22.3
67 I put in “pxelinux.0” as per the install instructions in the wiki

the error code is PXE-E32, honestly didn’t see this cause the screen was part of the way off the monitor lol

Should probably Also include this is Ubuntu 12.10 Fog 0.32

Let me start by saying I’m still very new at this.

Anyway I have installed and configured my FOG server, I had it happily talking with my computers until I edited the DHCP server to add the line 66 and 67 to it to point to my fog server. Before I was able to get it to the fog server by letting it first get a DHCP address and then disconnect it from the network to the DHCP (only still being connected to the FOG Network) and I could boot my pxe menu.

Today, I am not able to get my PXE menu, It grabs a DHCP address and it looks to the TFTP and it only times out. I have tried a stop and restart of the TFTP service, I have tried my previous methods (disconnect form network stay only connected to fog) but this does not seem to be working today.

I am at a loss and I need assistance with getting my fog server communicating with my workstations again.

I have followed the Wiki and reset my fog password, I have defined and edited the /var/www/fog/commons/config.php and reloaded it after first editing the password in the fog manager, I have tried start the DHCP service and running only in my little workroom network but even this is not working today Please help!

but I am also looking at [url]http://www.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Tftp_timeout[/url]…
but with the command I get a return
[code]
Connected to 10.8.22.3 (10.8.22.3), port 69
getting from 10.8.22.3:pxelinux.0 to pxelinux.0 [netascii]
Received 16967 bytes in 0.0 seconds [4349119 bit/s][/code]

so from my understanding the TFTP is doing what it’s suppose to but the pxelinux.0 is not?

No, I guess I’m understanding it wrong.

When I installed FOG I did a [N] Normal setup, Gave it the Router Address, Gave it the IP Address for the DNS server.

I didn’t install the DHCP service, but while I was troubleshooting earlier I used one of the DHCP restart commands and the service started, I thought the service was provided from FOG and thought at that point I had installed the DHCP service and thought it could have been the reason I wasn’t seeing my FOG PXE unless i d/c from the network and use FOG only in that network group (no connection to other servers or internet).

well that makes sense to me.

I have a quick question, and I don’t want to open a new thread, I’m sure this is answered someplace I’m just not using the right search words for it, and it falls right in line with this.

The reason I ask about presidence is because the only way to get my computers to default to the FOG server is if I disconnect it to the rest of my network. Did I do it correctly by installing and setting up DHCP? Would it be different had I not set up DHCP and instead disabled? Still a newbie here this is way different than using linux to store web hosting files (kinda I mean there are similarities with the apache and php and stuff) hahahaha

not to nit pick but the command is

[B]sudo service tftpd-hpa restart[/B]

this gave me a fit for a bit

Yes, Thank you Bryce that was exactly what I was looking for, had a lingering task just had to get rid of it!

I agree Steve, the UDP is VERY nice, but working from a command line is nice too I like the best of both worlds, I’m going to be looking into my own scripting for the boot menu and see if I can add some extra features in there!

Thanks all for the help!

Is there a way to make my FOG server show up as the first PXE and have presidence over the other PXE servers in my facility? There’s another PXE server located in another building, it is a Windows PXE server to push out our windows & and XP installs, I have to disconnect my computers form the other servers to get FOG to boot, I would prefer that in this building that it talks to my FOG server. Is there a setting where i can set it up as the main go to? Or would this fall under Routing?

it is the same as this issue

I did not want to bump an old topic and it was never resolved

Very cool, I imagine I will get around to doing something like this in the future as well.

It’s nothing major but I can’t seem to find it anywhere, so let me begin.

First off, Avid Linux user here, Love Ubuntu, or I use to back before unity

Anyway, in the past we have used Clonezilla and I set up an SSH server with Ubuntu to house my images. Everything has gone well. I have started researching FOG, I’m very interested in it, it will make working in my labs a breeze and I manage multiple buildings, so I’m very excited to get it working!

I installed FOG, and configured it, wow you guys have made that as easy a possible, I thank you. I have no problems.

Using FOG has been a little different, and has taken some getting use to., I’d really like to do a lot more form the PXE menu, such as deploying and uploading an image without having to touch the server. Would be easiest to add a dialog where an admin can log in to do these features without having them available for my students to play with, but that’s to be discussed later

Now on to the fun stuff:
I registered my host, and uploaded my image. I registered a few more hosts and I pushed a few images out. Things went flawlessly, until I accidentally got a little excited during registration and I put in the wrong OS selection. Now that host is stuck in a loop, going back to the PXE menu and spitting back to me that there is an Error(0) Invalid OS Selection, and reboots in a minute.

I tried to edit the host manually on the FOG server and I managed to save the information, but I still get the same error. I even tried deleting the host so it could be re-registered with the FOG server.

Is there a way to kick it out of the loop it’s in where it wants to load up and image? Can I get it back to where I can register and try to deploy my image again?

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

The machines I am using are Tangent computers with Windows XP SP3 installed.
