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

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.

[quote=“Junkhacker, post: 34376, member: 21583”]did you change your dhcp option 67 from pxelinux.0 to undionly.kpxe?[/quote]

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?

[quote=“Junkhacker, post: 34363, member: 21583”]ok, that means that you still have your database issue. do you know if the database had a password before you upgraded? it is likely that the password is incorrect in [FONT=arial][COLOR=#262626]/var/www/fog/lib/fog/Config.class.php[/COLOR][/FONT][/quote]

When opened, Do I type my password in…?

define(‘DATABASE_TYPE’, ‘mysql’); // mysql or oracle
define(‘DATABASE_HOST’, ‘localhost’);
define(‘DATABASE_NAME’, ‘fog’);
define(‘DATABASE_USERNAME’, ‘root’);
define(‘DATABASE_PASSWORD’, ’ ');

When I visit my GUI, I get database schema installer/ updater prompted to Install/upgrade. When clicked I get a long list of errors.

[quote=“Tom Elliott, post: 34340, member: 7271”]Simply download installer. if you’ve got a good prior installation it will just update what you’ve currently got[/quote]
I get this error when I try to run the setup.

[quote=“Junkhacker, post: 34336, member: 21583”]it’s ok. just go ahead and update to 1.2 now, the fog installer will either fix the mysql problem, or it should be easy to fix afterward anyway.[/quote]

Is there an easy way to update? I tried looking on the WIKI and found ways to install FOG but not update.

[quote=“Junkhacker, post: 34333, member: 21583”]ok, tom’s on his way home and can’t answer at the moment. i’ll try to help you out here
the “unable to connect to database” is typically either because the database is not running, or more commonly because the password is incorrect for the database.
after you updated from 11.4 to 12.04, did you reboot?[/quote]

I did reboot but to no luck. Sorry if I am being dumb. I am new to all of this.

[quote=“Tom Elliott, post: 34330, member: 7271”]When did you start having this problem[/quote]

Right after I updated to Ubuntu 12.04.

[quote=“Tom Elliott, post: 34328, member: 7271”]I don’t understand what you mean[/quote]

When I try and log into the GUI, I get “unable to connect to database”

[quote=“Tom Elliott, post: 34326, member: 7271”]You can run that in the command in terminal or however you decide to run it you can choose to upgrade to 1.to.0 if you want to but it’s not an absolute must if you are sure everything you have now works you just need a new kernel to get rid of the call trace[/quote]

What about not being able to connect to the server after updating?

[quote=“Tom Elliott, post: 34258, member: 7271”]It won’t hurt to update, but update first then reinstall fog.

That all said, try my 32 bit kernel using these commands:
[code]sudo wget -O /tftpboot/fog/kernel/bzImage https://svn.code.sf.net/p/freeghost/code/trunk/packages/web/service/ipxe/bzImage32[/code] Hopefully you’ll behold all the juicy goodness built within this kernel.[/quote]

Hey Tom, sorry to bother, i’m just in crisis mode. I updated to 12.04 and now i’m getting “unable to connect to database”. Should I try and install 1.2.0 or stick to the .32? I am also unfamiliar with the command you sent. Do I run that in terminal or…? Let me know and thanks for your help.
