Sorry… Found the problem. The /etc/network/interfaces file had the wrong dns-nameservers configuration so it was not resolving domain names.

The Kernel Updates page shows the paragraph of information at the top of the page. It shows the menu items and tool bar. It does not show any of the available kernels. We have 7 fog servers set up in the network and this is the first time we have had this problem occur.

I followed these directions to try to fix the problem:

access: [url]http://fogserver/fog/management/[/url]
*** FOG Configuration ***
*** FOG Settings *** in the menu on the left
-> Replace the FOG_TFTP_FTP_PASSWORD fields under FOG settings

Then open the file:
/var/www/fog/commons/config.php - check the values of: TFTP_FTP_PASSWORD and STORAGE_FTP_PASSWORD
These MUST match the password you set above, if not write them properly in here
Finally reload of the service
/etc/init.d/vsftpd reload

I will have to try it again in the morning.

I am having permission issues again but I’m not sure what I have done wrong. Is there a location which lists standard user and permission levels for the different fog functions such at file ownership and permission settings.

[quote=“Tom Elliott, post: 16280, member: 7271”]I’d say delete the host from the Web GUI and perform a Full registration on it. Have it update.[/quote]

It looks like this is the solution. I just added a brand new client. Created a brand new image in the GUI. Then set a task to upload the image and it launched fine. Must be something in the client registration that changed when I changed some settings. I will delete the hosts and re-register them.
.

I can cancel the task in the GUI and the file disappears.

Changes outside the realm of instructions:

There is a computer user named “fog” (not to be confused with the GUI user named fog). I was unable to su fog with any of the passwords I could think of (including “password”). I changed fog’s password to password. I also changed the Fog Settings FOG_TFTP_FTP_USERNAME = fog
FOG_TFTP_FTP_PASSWORD = password

Yes, it even reacts to Wake-On-LAN.
