Aha, thanks a lot. That worked.

Thanks!

Server

• FOG Version: 1.4.4
• OS: Ubuntu Server 16.04.02 (no GUI)

Client

• Service Version: PXE Booting
• OS: Virtualbox PXE Boot

Description

Hello. I can’t seem to get a computer to PXE boot from the FOG server (called fogpxe).
I installed FOG and then followed these instructions: https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=Using_FOG_with_an_unmodifiable_DHCP_server/_Using_FOG_with_no_DHCP_server
These let my virtual machine detect the pxe server and boot from it. Once I select boot from network, it says
PXE-T01: File not found
PXE-E3B: TFTP Error - file not found
Here is a screenshot

Contents of /etc/dnsmasq.d/lstp.conf is this:

lewis@FOGPXE:/tftpboot$ cd /etc/dnsmasq.d
lewis@FOGPXE:/etc/dnsmasq.d$ sudo nano ltsp.conf
[sudo] password for lewis:
  GNU nano 2.5.3                                    File: ltsp.conf

# Sample configuration for dnsmasq to function as a proxyDHCP server,
# enabling LTSP clients to boot when an external, unmodifiable DHCP
# server is present.
# The main dnsmasq configuration is in /etc/dnsmasq.conf;
# the contents of this script are added to the main configuration.
# You may modify the file to suit your needs.

# Don't function as a DNS server:
port=0

# Log lots of extra information about DHCP transactions.
log-dhcp

# Dnsmasq can also function as a TFTP server. You may uninstall
# tftpd-hpa if you like, and uncomment the next line:
# enable-tftp

# Set the root directory for files available via FTP.
tftp-root=/tftpboot

# The boot filename.
dhcp-boot=pxelinux.0

# rootpath option, for NFS
dhcp-option=17,/images

# kill multicast
dhcp-option=vendor:PXEClient,6,2b

# Disable re-use of the DHCP servername and filename fields as extra
# option space. That's to avoid confusing some old or broken DHCP clients.
dhcp-no-override

# PXE menu.  The first part is the text displayed to the user.  The second is the timeout, in seconds.
pxe-prompt="Press F8 for boot menu", 3

# The known types are x86PC, PC98, IA64_EFI, Alpha, Arc_x86,
# Intel_Lean_Client, IA32_EFI, BC_EFI, Xscale_EFI and X86-64_EFI
# This option is first and will be the default if there is no input from the user.
pxe-service=X86PC, "Boot from network", pxelinux

# A boot service type of 0 is special, and will abort the
# net boot procedure and continue booting from local media.
pxe-service=X86PC, "Boot from local hard disk", 0

# If an integer boot service type, rather than a basename is given, then the
# PXE client will search for a suitable boot service for that type on the
# network. This search may be done by multicast or broadcast, or direct to a
# server if its IP address is provided.
# pxe-service=x86PC, "Install windows from RIS server", 1

# This range(s) is for the public interface, where dnsmasq functions
# as a proxy DHCP server providing boot information but no IP leases.
# Any ip in the subnet will do, so you may just put your server NIC ip here.
# Since dnsmasq is not providing true DHCP services, you do not want it
# handing out IP addresses.  Just put your servers IP address for the interface
# that is connected to the network on which the FOG clients exist.
# If this setting is incorrect, the dnsmasq may not start, rendering
# your proxyDHCP ineffective.
dhcp-range=192.168.1.203,proxy

# This range(s) is for the private network on 2-NIC servers,
# where dnsmasq functions as a normal DHCP server, providing IP leases.
# dhcp-range=192.168.0.20,192.168.0.250,8h

# For static client IPs, and only for the private subnets,
# you may put entries like this:
# dhcp-host=00:20:e0:3b:13:af,10.160.31.111,client111,infinite

I noticed that in the ltsp.conf file, the client is told to find pxelinux.0. Listing the directory of the /etc/tftpboot shows that pxelinux.0 doesn’t exist.
.

How can I get FOG to work? Sorry if this is is too much.

Thank you,
