That’s probably the issue. Can you give me some guidance as to where I would make that change? I don’t see it in the web interface settings.

I’m using Ubuntu 12.04

I just updated from fog 0.32 to fog 1.1.2 and can no longer PXE boot.

Everything else seems to be working correctly. I did notice that the dhcpd file is not in /etc as some postings online say it’s supposed to be. I’ve looked everywhere online and can’t seem to find good answers for this issue. This server is operating on large Windows based network with 1 main Windows DHCP server.

BPSTravis:
When you say ‘export images’ and ‘export hosts’, are you talking about backing up and restoring the SQL database? Or is this a separate function?

Junkhacker:
I’m using 0.32 and plan on staying with it for now.

So with SQL, if I do a fresh install of Ubuntu and then of FOG, can I create a new SQL database during installation, restore my backed-up images, and then just make ‘New Image’ entries in FOG and tell it where the file is located?

Thanks BPSTravis, unfortunately, I don’t think the last guy set it up, if he did, I have no idea where it’s at. If I reinstall Ubuntu, I sure do plan on placing some sort of backup system in place.

Another thing, the server that is running these is running RAID 5 and it doesn’t see anything wrong with the disks.

What could I do to check the integrity of the file system and disks in Ubuntu? I’m decent at getting around and operating in Linux, I took a few classes in college for it, but I have no idea where to even start to look for utilities such as these. I’m thinking about backing up everything FOG related and wiping the server and starting with a fresh Ubuntu install, that would tell me if the images are corrupt, but that is definitely last on my list of things to do for now. I found a decent guide tell me what you think: [url]http://community.spiceworks.com/how_to/show/2631-moving-a-fog-server-to-new-hardware[/url]

But for sure let me know if there’s anything I can use to check the files.

I run a FOG server that was installed by a previous technician that has about 30-40 images. We have began to have a problem with the images beginning deployment and then stopping on a random percent on most images. There are never any errors to go off of on the screen or logged in FOG, and I’ve ensured that permissions are wide open for the images. The only things I can think that have gone wrong are maybe a corrupt SQL DB or corrupt images, but I’m not familiar with SQL enough to know where to look, and don’t know how to check the image files. I’ve kind of been tipped off by another forum thread to run the installation package again so that everything is reinstalled, but I’m worried that it would wipe the images, clear the database, or delete some config that I wouldn’t be able to find other than the IPs it asks for at installation. We also have an NFS server that hold some images for extra space, I’ve yet to figure out how that works.

Please help, this is something we use almost everyday to reimages machines for employees and students.
