When I do a unicast whether it is 1 or 10 it seems to crash the schools network. Any ideas? Just so you know, our Fog server is located on a standalone machine that we can take room to room with us.

Thanks

[quote=“Tom Elliott, post: 35398, member: 7271”]On the fog server, run:

Hey Tom, Once the multicast has completed it just hangs at the 100% and i get a blinking cursor at the bottom. I tried to restart one of the computers and now just get a blinking cursor on start up. Any thoughts?

Another side question.

Thanks for all of you help.

Ever since I uprated to Fog 1.2.0 on Ubuntu 12.04, I have not been able to multicast. I register the hosts, assign image, and add them to a group. I then multicast the group and PXE boot all the hosts. It runs through the process and eventually gets to a Please Wait screen that just hangs there forever. I tried restarting the Multicast Service and still no luck. I am very new to Fog and Ubuntu and need multicast to work before the start of school. I would use unicast, but I can’t have more than one going at a time or it crashes the school’s network. Do I have a setting wrong? Can someone please help?!

[quote=“Tom Elliott, post: 34915, member: 7271”]What version of FOG are you runnign?[/quote]

Sorry for the late response. I didn’t see your message. I am running 1.2.0 on Ubuntu 12.04. I am running into another problem now where even unicasting is crashing the network… Any suggestions?

[quote=“Tom Elliott, post: 34291, member: 7271”]So you’re not able to create a “group” multicast tasking? Or the multicast tasking never starts?

Have you verified that the FOGMulticastManager service is actually running?[/quote]

Hi Tom, I am having a similar issue. When I add the hosts to a group and then multicast, they just sit on a the screen “Partclone v0.2.69 [url]http://partlone.org[/url]” “Starting to restore image (-) to Device (/dev/sda1)” … I can unicast just fine but can not multicast. I must have a setting wrong but can’t figure it out. Can you help?

[quote=“Enrico, post: 34299, member: 25297”]This is the log file: /opt/fog/log/multicast.log
the process is:
ps aux|grep FOGMulticastManager
root 1716 0.0 2.0 333900 20888 ? S 12:31 0:00 /usr/bin/php -q /opt/fog/service/FOGMulticastManager/FOGMulticastManager[/quote]

I am kind of getting the same thing. I click run multicast, PXE boot, and when all computers are ready to go it hangs. It seems like if it is waiting for another computer. On the screen I get " Partclone v0.2.69 [url]http://partclone.org[/url]" "Starting to restore image (-) to device (/dev/sda1). What do I need to do.

Fellas, Let me tell you how much I appreciate everything you have done for me. Everything is in working order. I can’t thank you guys enough for the help! Hopefully someday I can repay you somehow.

[quote=“Junkhacker, post: 34370, member: 21583”]that file is read only for normal users, try this
sudo nano [FONT=arial][COLOR=#262626]/var/www/fog/lib/fog/Config.class.php[/COLOR][/FONT][/quote]

THAT WORKED!! Now when I PXE boot I don’t get a boot menu…

TFTP.
PXE-T01:File not found
PXE-E3B: TFTP Error-File Not found
PXE-M0f: Exiting PXE ROM.

Any suggestions on that?

[quote=“Junkhacker, post: 34366, member: 21583”]if you know what the root mysql user password is enter it between the empty quotes here
define(‘DATABASE_PASSWORD’, ’ ');
if you do not know what the password is, we will need to reset it[/quote]

That’s what I thought, but when I type in what I think the password is, I can’t save it… Is that normal?
