I want to start the fog server only if I want that. Accessing the webinterface is not that important but if it’s possible to stop the clients booting from the fog/ipxe and leave the UI still accessible would be nice. If the fog server is stopped, the UI is only for accessing the data from the registered hosts.

Hello to all,

I didn’t find a answer to my issue in the forums so i opened a new topic.
I want that the FOG web interface is still available but the clients stop to do networkboot by stoping the services.
But if I stop the isc-dhcp-server, tftp-hpa and the vsftpd service, the clients still get an IP-address from the fog server and trying to to load the files.
So which services I have also to stop that the clients skip the FOG server?

My system is Ubuntu Server 14.04.3.
I cannot fully understand why but this worked for me:

First add the proxy with:
export http_proxy=http://username:password@host:port/
export https_proxy=https://username:password@host:port/

Then put in /etc/sudoers:
Defaults env_keep=“https_proxy”

Last:
start the installfog.sh as root and not as sudo

Hello to all,

I have the same problem with the repository. My FOG is behind a proxy but if proxy is enabled or not, the upgrade script is not working. My SVN version is 3735. Tried the upgrade wit git and SVN. Both are failing at this first step.

I restarted the installer several times - the only file, which could not be downloaded was the “FOGService.msi” maybe because I’m downloading behind a proxy. But because I’m cloning ubuntu machines I think I don’t need this file. Otherwise the installer said I can download it with:
wget -O /var/www/html/fog/client/FOGService.msi https://github.com/FOGProject/fog-client/releases/download/0.9.4/FOGService.msi.

The other files like “bzimage,bzimage_32,init.xz,init_32.xz” were downloaded properly.
Still the same Problem. I’m not sure but i think the problem is in the upgraded php5 packeges - if they are upgraded then some of the dependencies to the packages like libonig2 break. I’m not really good in linux and can’t manage it to repair the dependencies.
Did someone have the same problems? Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS --> apt-get update, upgrade and dist-upgrade.
Thanks

Hello everyone, hello Tom,

I’ve just updated my trunk version to 3791. I have the problem that after upgrading from 3730 my quick registration stops to work.
I didn’t test other options but I think there would be the same problems.
After loading the bzimage I get this:
Could it be that tis error has something to do with my upgrade these packages of my ubuntu 14.04.2 lts:
libapache2-mod-php5 php5 php5-cli php5-common php5-curl php5-fpm php5-gd php5-mcrypt php5-mysqlnd php5-readline.
Where could be the problem?
Thanks very much

it was also not possible to see the current status of downloads or uploads.
Upgraded 10 min ago to 3677 and now both problems seems to be gone.
Thanks.
If there are any bugs in the SVN, is it correct to post them here?

Hello,
I upgraded to the newest SVN 3676 and now I can’t connect images to the hosts.
That’s bad. Do I need now till the next version is out or is it possible that this is an error which I can solve. I get only white screen if I “update” the Hosts.

Thanks

damn. I couldn’t imagine, that this is so easy… sorry.

Hello,

I’m at the latest SVN and I have these problems:

1. If I want to see my uploaded Images, there is only a row with “Image size: ON CLIENT”. The “ON SERVER” is not in the table at all.
   If I upload the image, everything seems to go well. Client generates the Images -> it in /images/dev. After finishing, it is in /images/… .
   And If i take this image and let another computer download this image, everything seems to work.
   The only problem is this ON SERVER. What is this not shown?

I did the TFTP and FTP troubleshoot (hope everythink was right).
The only think i see is that after uploading a new image, the owner is everytime “root” and not “fog” - don’t know if this should be like this or not.

Could the FOG_STORAGENODE_MYSQLPASS,which is generated automatically, be a problem?

Hi,

Not sure in 1.2, but in SVN version you can specify the default boot via FOG Configuration > iPXE Menu Customization

Regards,
Ch3i.

perfect, that’s what I was searching for.
I will give it a try.
Here the tutorial for installing the SVN for other with the same problem:

Hello,
sorry if there is already a topic like that but i couldn’t find an answer for me.

I would like to do a “quick registration” and image some computers, whick we can’t access with a keyboard to choose the ipxe boot options.
Where can change the order of the options or change the default option to “quick registration” for example.
The best way would be that an unregistred computer would get the “quick registration” as the default option and a already registred computer with the “boot from hdd” as the default.
Is this possible with the new FOG 1.2.0 or do i need to downgrade to the 0.33 Version with the old pxe boot.

Please help
