When i try the URL with hostname.php it keeps trying but nothing happens

You mean in a web browser?? Wow… this is… not as it should be I guess!

What do you see in the apache error logs while you try to access this URL from a browser. Depending on your distribution those files might be in /var/log/apache2/ or some similar path on the FOG server.

@Wayne-Workman I checked that, but I’ll check @tom-elliott’s suggestion next time I’m working with it.

6 weeks? I threw together my golden image in 2 days… Yours was definitely more well documented and probably supported more computer models though as mine only had to work on about 5 different models ^^

I’m trying to convert our environment to fog, and one of the labs is using software that I really don’t want to figure out how to redo from scratch, so I took one of the computers that was running in there and sysprepped it to audit mode and that’s what this is.

I don’t sysprep… However, on that same note… my co-worker was messing around with Windows Deployment Services which requires sys-prep.

I remember him getting aggravated about the 3 reboot limit thing… I told him, ok build the image over again… and we will just upload it to FOG for safe keeping. If you need to restart, we can restore it (THEN) in 15 minutes.

And now, we’ve ditched WDS in favor of FOG, and because of the awesome compression and upload / download times in FOG Trunk, we often find ourselves doing a pre-upload of images lol… Uploading what we have before we do something risky that you can’t come back from cleanly.

Once we verify that what we did works, we delete the early image of course. But, we have reverted to early images a few times.

Yeah, I found the speed difference in snapshot vs. upload is well worth building it in a VM, but I suppose if that’s your style then go ahead.

That is what I did. I will say I haven’t rebooted in a while so not sure if it worked for me but that is what I did.
