@Tom-Elliott Looks like there was something wrong with yum. I did a basic yum clean all and that seemed to solve my issues with connecting to the mirrors. I’m progressing through the installation now. Thanks again for all of your help everyone!

@Arrowhead-IT That’s a good idea. I’ll see if there is another test box I can try using. I did try those DNS servers and still having problems (also my mistake 4.2.2.2 is Level 3 not Google). I’ll speak with our networking team and one of our Sr Sys Admins and see if they have a second to look over the system. Thanks for all of your help and speedy responses @Tom-Elliott, @Arrowhead-IT , @george1421 and @Wayne-Workman

@Tom-Elliott Hey Tom, we are not dead set to use 1.2.0 we just figured we’d download the latest from the FOG project website

@Arrowhead-IT As we’re troubleshooting I’m thinking it is definitely something with our internal networking configuration. The DNS servers we are using include google’s 4.2.2.2 and an internal DNS server.

@george1421 Yep, I can ping friendly names like mirrors.gigenet.com and google.com

@Tom-Elliott I attempted to go through the installer and saying no to DHCP and DNS but if failed to install tftp-server this time. Attached is the foginstall.log file.0_1450298881023_foginstall.log

@Tom-Elliott Sorry about that. Yes, the CentOS server is the what we’re running FOG on. I’ll just say FOG server moving forward to avoid any confusion. Yes it is successfully downloading other packages (httpd, php, php-cli, php-common, etc) but is not downloading the dhcp package. It has internet connectivity and will for the remainder of the setup. Once everything is up and running we’ll remove the internet connection and put it on an isolated subnet physically connected to the devices it needs to connect to.

@Tom-Elliott The CentOS machine currently has internet access that’s how I downloaded the installer.

@Tom-Elliott If the FOG server is on-net with the devices won’t that make an internet connection unnecessary?

@Arrowhead-IT That is good to know. I am pretty sure all we need is to push IPs from a given IP pool to each of these devices.

@george1421 I’ll give that a shot. Thanks

@Arrowhead-IT Unfortunately that failed as well. I’m thinking there may be an underlying networking issue that I’ll work on with our networking team. Either way even if dhcp isn’t running on this server shouldn’t I still be able to get to http://xxx/xxx/xxx/fog ?

@george1421 We are hoping to use PXE booting for these NAS devices using this FOG server to push a FreeBSD image over an isolated subnet.

@Wayne-Workman Yes it does. Once the install/services are up and running we’ll take it off of the public facing IP and throw an internal IP on it.

@Wayne-Workman Installing 1.2.0 and we are not using a proxy server.

@Arrowhead-IT We are utilizing this FOG server to push a basic FreeBSD image to a large number of NAS drives that will be using an isolated subnet so we figured we’d just use the FOG server to run DHCP. I’ll check with our networking team to see if they can allow the FOG server to utilize its services.

I simply tried: yum install dhcp
but that fails with the same error as the FOG install: Errno 256 No more mirrors to try.

Hey All,

I’m setting up FOG for the first time and I’m having some problems with the install. Following the installation guide I end up getting all of the packages installed except dhcp. I figured I could just install the dhcp package with yum but that’s failing as well. I’m trying to get to http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/fog /fog/client and /fog/management but it won’t connect.

Here is the error at the end of installation:

Error Downloading Packages:
[Errno 256] No more mirrors to try

OS: CentOS 6.5
DNS: working
Internet: accessible
LAN: accessible via SSH
Firewall: disabled

Followed all of the steps below:
Type 1 and press Enter for Fedora/CentOS installation.
Type N and press Enter for Normal installation.
Supply IP Address, it should be the static IP address we setup earlier.
Type Y and press Enter to setup DHCP Server address.
Enter the DHCP Server address. If it's going to be the FOG Server, set it to the same IP Address as the FOG Server.
Type Y and press Enter to set up DNS.
Enter the DNS Server address.
Type N and press Enter to leave the default network interface.
Type N and press Enter to disable the FOG Server to act as the DHCP Server. Type Y to enable it.
Type N and press Enter to not install additional languages, unless you want them.
Type Y and press Enter to actually begin the installation.

Any suggestions?
