Good afternoon everyone,
I’ve got a little problem that I am hoping someone can help me solve. I know this is a little long, but I’ve done a whole bunch of troubleshooting and I want everyone to know what has and has not been tried.
Yesterday I upgraded my Ubuntu FOG server from 11.10 to 12.04. Upgrade went fine and was error free.
I then went to image a machine using a known good image and received the following error: “TFTP Open Timout”
Did some reading and found that this seems to be indicitive of password mismatch of some sort. OK, no big deal. According to my readings I needed to do the following:
change the fog password by typing sudo passwd fog
Then, in storage Nodes on the front end I clicked on Default Member and changed the management password to match my newly set password. I also went to Other Information and changed FOG_TFTP_FTP_PASSWORD to the same thing.
Then, in the config.php file I changed TFTP_FTP_PASSWORD and STORAGE_FTP_PASSWORD to match the above.
then reloaded the service using this command:
/etc/init.d/vsftpd reload
Everything said it changed fine.
Tried again. Same error. Repeated the above steps using both the hashed version of the password and a plaintext version (wasn’t sure which was right) Still no dice.
Gave up and re-installed FOG.
Imaged my machine. Everything seemed fine. Saw the image being loaded onto the computer, last I checked it was at 60% or so of a Win 7 image. Left work, came back this morning and I have a screen with an error that more or less said it couldn’t connect to the FTP server (Wasn’t thinking and turned off the computer without writing down the error) booted the machine back up. Same error again. Booted the machine again, but manually skipped the network boot. Windows came right up. All seems to be ok, but FOG keeps shutting the machine down to try to add it to the domain so I can’t confirm.
Killed the task in FOG thinking maybe that would help.
Now, if I don’t skip the network boot I get the following error:
Checking Queue
No job was found for [my mac address] [time it checks]
So now I went to try to re-reimage the stupid thing and I get this message in the frontend:
None of the machines were able to be queued!
[ComputerName] Unable to connect to tftp server.
I’ve rebooted the server about a million times and it doesn’t help.
*forgot to add that I am able to [url]ftp://fogserverIP[/url] and log in with the normal credentials just fine.
Any ideas anyone?
