      [I]On a windows server, this is done in DHCP. Under, I think, option 66, you’ll put the pxelinux.0 file, and option 67, you’ll input your fog server’s IP address.[/I]

      Not being cheeky and correct me if im wrong but in Windows server:
      [INDENT=1]066 Boot Server Host Name = fog server IP or hostname if you have added it in DNS[/INDENT]
      [INDENT=1]067 Bootfile Name = pxelinux.0[/INDENT]
      Pls let me know if I’m wrong so i can change my DHCP scope options - thx[/quote]

    • RE: Setting up and starting MySql...failed! FOG_0.32 on Ubuntu 13.10 32bit

      I found a rogue dhcp server on the network stuffing everything up so I disabled it (it wasnt the fog dhcp service either 😉 ). So after that I restarted everything and successfully got to the fog pxeboot menu only on PC-1 (dell 760 with old bios v.2 with Intel Boot Agent GEv1.3.22). However after trying to do a quick host registration, errors on items such as below appeared before the screen went funky… (sorry I wrote down what i could see in the time given):
      [INDENT=1]tps65010: no chip?[/INDENT]
      [INDENT=1]acpiphp_ibm[/INDENT]
      [INDENT=1]Carillo Ranch MCH[/INDENT]
      [INDENT=1]failed excute /sbin/v86d[/INDENT]
      [INDENT=1]vbe_init() failed with -22[/INDENT]

      I thought it maybe the bios so on another pc, PC-2 (Dell 760 with latest bios v.16 with Intel Boot Agent GE v1.3.81) I tried but then the had a massive DHCP error:
      [INDENT=1]PXE-E51 No DHCP or proxyDHCP offers were received[/INDENT]

      I recall something about Kernels about this years ago. Are they auto updated these days?

      Time to hit the search bar (unless you can post a link if its a known issue)

    • RE: Setting up and starting MySql...failed! FOG_0.32 on Ubuntu 13.10 32bit

      Thx Jaymes and Tom (sorry been on holidays)

      I downloaded U12.10 and Fog0.32 for now and installed ok but trying to upload the hosts automatically (??).
      When updating the [SIZE=12px][FONT=Arial][COLOR=#000000]var/www/fog/commons/config.php[/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE][SIZE=12px][FONT=Arial][COLOR=#000000] I noticed that one of my characters in the password was not in the allowed characters list so I added it in. [/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE][SIZE=12px][FONT=Arial][COLOR=#000000]I also found that in [/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE][SIZE=12px][FONT=Arial][COLOR=#000000]/opt/fog/service/etc/config.php the mysql username was left blank so I entered “root” in too.[/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE]

      FYI back on 13.10 I did change the mysql password and updated the config.php files ([SIZE=12px][FONT=Arial][COLOR=#000000]/var/www/fog/commons/config.php and [/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE][SIZE=12px][FONT=Arial][COLOR=#000000]/opt/fog/service/etc/config.php files with the password ONLY, but yes there were prior installation attempts so I must say that the remove mysql commands would have 99% been the trick.[/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE]

      [SIZE=12px][FONT=Arial][COLOR=#000000]I will create a new vm for 13.10 when time permits - thanks guys[/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE]

    • Setting up and starting MySql...failed! FOG_0.32 on Ubuntu 13.10 32bit

      Hi, Its been many years between versions of ubuntu and fog and I have trawled through the forums but as a linux novice still, i am having trouble with installing fog0.32 onto ubuntu 13.10.
      After extracting to the /opt directory, running the installfog.sh and punching in all the necessary info (no dhcp server and international language packs though) it has failed at this point (see below). Restarted and retried several times alas no luck. Any help appreciated as this has now become urgent 😞 . thanks in advance

      [QUOTE] Version: 0.32 Installer/Updater

      What version of Linux would you like to run the installtion for?

            1) Redhat Based Linux (Fedora, CentOS)
            2) Ubuntu Based Linux (Kubuntu, Edubuntu)
      

      Choice: [2]

      Starting Ubuntu Installtion.

      FOG Server installation modes:
      * Normal Server: (Choice N)
      This is the typical installation type and
      will install all FOG components for you on this
      machine. Pick this option if you are unsure what to pick.

        * Storage Node: (Choice S)
            This install mode will only install the software required
            to make this server act as a node in a storage group
      

      More information:
      [url]http://www.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=InstallationModes[/url]

      What type of installation would you like to do? [N]

      What is the IP address to be used by this FOG Server? [10.0.0.201]

      Would you like to setup a router address for the DHCP server? [Y/n]
      What is the IP address to be used for the router on the DHCP server? [10.0.0.4]

      Would you like to setup a DNS address for the DHCP server and client boot image? [Y/n]
      What is the IP address to be used for DNS on the DHCP server and client boot image? [127.0.1.1]

      Would you like to change the default network interface from eth0?
      If you are not sure, select No. [y/N]

      Would you like to use the FOG server for dhcp service? [Y/n] n

      DHCP will not be setup but you must setup your
      current DHCP server to use FOG for pxe services.

      On a Linux DHCP server you must set:
      next-server

      On a Windows DHCP server you must set:
      option 066 & 067

      This version of FOG has internationalization support, would
      you like to install the additional language packs? [Y/n] n

      #####################################################################

      FOG now has everything it needs to setup your server, but please
      understand that this script will overwrite any setting you may
      have setup for services like DHCP, apache, pxe, tftp, and NFS.

      It is not recommended that you install this on a production system
      as this script modifies many of your system settings.

      This script should be run by the root user on Fedora, or with sudo on Ubuntu.

      Here are the settings FOG will use:
      Distro: Ubuntu
      Installation Type: Normal Server
      Server IP Address: 10.0.0.201
      DHCP router Address: 10.0.0.4
      DHCP DNS Address: 127.0.1.1

    • RE: Optiplex 780 not registering

      Hi mark - getting same issue too but on an Optiplex 760 with Windows 7; FOG 03.2. What I can add is that the this actual pc work perfectly on another kernel (something back when 0.27 was released). I have tried that yet as hoping for a better resolution. I am going update the kernel to 3.2.4 now though

    • RE: Snow screen with HP Elitebook 8460p

      Exact same issue with Dell Optiplex 760 with A02 bios
      Note: I had to wind back the bios from A11 down to A02 to even get PXE to work with FOG
