@Wayne-Workman Attaches is the last part of another capture. Just like previous, the PXE gets an ip, immediately downloads undionly.kpxe but then
“iPXE initialising devices”
tftp://10.0.0.51/default.ipxe… <<- This is where you see the ARP broadcasts start again.
After several seconds, it gives up and boots the HDD

@Sebastian-Roth
[root@localhost bin]# netstat -antup | grep “:69”
udp 0 0 0.0.0.0:69 0.0.0.0:* 7860/xinetd@Wayne-Workman Funny you say that, last night (after my problems) our old DHCP server was restarted and the DHCP service started again, so this morning we had issues with 2 running.
However that’s fixed now and like yesterday it’s still not working.
Whats the best way to check for other DHCP servers ?
Shouldn’t the Wireshark capture I posted show it? -
RE: Mounting File System Failed
I had new issues this time…
I brought my PC with the FOG VM into work (was testing at home) and I had to change the gateway IP and DNS server.
I thought re-running the installer was the best way to do it?
I ran it once or twice before I realised I had to change the router option in the Linux network card settings. Then the installed picked it up.
This is where I was having “tftp connection timed out” issues.
After following this: https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Tftp_timeout…#Testing_TFTP
and getting to the storage management section and checking the password, I noticed the “interface” was set to “eth0” instead of the strange “eno16777736” that VMWare allocated.
So changing that fixed THAT issue. But why the heck did this issue suddenly appear ? Did the installer change it on me ?No that wasn’t it! after another reboot it it doesn’t work again, still getting “tftp connection timed out”
Tested tftp from another machine OK.
A couple of times now it has downloaded the files quickly and shown the fog menu. Then it won’t work again for the next 20 reboots or so
Some images from wireshark: In between the two images is just the rest of the file transfer -
RE: Mounting File System Failed
Thank you.
Yep when I get to it, I will post what the next errors are. -
RE: Mounting File System Failed
FTP issue is solved now. I went through the excellent https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Troubleshoot_FTP guide and changed the FOG OS user account password to match the others (I didn’t think it was different, but it must have been).
This solved the issue where I got stuck in going through the also excellent https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Troubleshoot_NFS. I couldn’t get the images capture though, some other errors I need to work through. I think relating to partitions not in the right state or something like that. -
RE: Mounting File System Failed
@Wayne-Workman Thanks, Ill update this thread when I get it solved

RE: Mounting File System Failed
@Wayne-Workman Hmm strange then…
I get that ftp error at this point in the troubleshooting NFS page
https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Troubleshoot_NFS#Testing_NFSecho ‘This is the text I use to test with.’ > /images/test.txt
-Create deploy task
-Choose Schedule as debug task
–Click “Create*”I also can’t get to a command line on the client(host?) PC in the boot menu to get to the next part:
"At the client, if it did not WOL, turn it on. After the client shows options on the screen, you can press [enter] to be given a command prompt. " -
RE: Mounting File System Failed
Following this guide:
https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Troubleshoot_NFSI keep getting FOGFTP: Login failed.
username: fog, Password: xxx
Error: ftp_login(): Login incorrectI found tftp_ftp username and password in fog settings. So I changed it to xxx (it was a different generated one) but it still doesnt work.
I have tried logging into ftp with an external ftp client from my VM host machine, and it gets password rejected.
Can I test it this way and how do I change the password ?I chec

Mounting File System Failed
My fog server (CentOS 7, FOG 1.2(5307)
running on VMWare
DHCP server is Server2012 on another VMI can register hosts (tried on an old Dell Inspiron 1525 (win10) and also Asus N61 (Win8)
After scheduling a capture tasks the Host starts doing its thing untill the error above appears.
I have tried changing what sort of image is captured etc.
Same error on both Host machines…Mounting File System Failed
Failed to mount NFSIts not this:
https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/4955/fatal-error-failed-to-mount-nfs-volumeTried this: (My /etc/exports file was totally empty) -is that normal ?
https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Image_Upload:_Error_Checking_MountThe size of my VM image disk size was set to 50GB I think when I created it, I thought space may have been an issue so thats why I tried to change the image capture to partition table and MBR etc. I was thinking these might be smaller images and so test if disk space was an issue.

RE: SVN 3480 Setting up and starting MySQL...error
That’s a great line @Wayne-Workman !
Installed without a hitch.Both time I have installed FOG though, the password given at the end of the install doesn’t work.
Last time I looked up how to change it, after that I could log into the web interface. -
RE: SVN 3480 Setting up and starting MySQL...error
I am starting from scratch so I might just continue with that first…
@Wayne-Workman did you follow all steps here ? https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Installation_on_CentOS_7 -

@Wayne-Workman Thanks Wayne. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Mariadb. Fog installer recognises Mariadb has been installed but:

Failed to issue method call: No such file or directory OK * Backing up user reports...OK * Setting up and starting Apache Web Server...Note: Forwarding request to 'systemctl enable httpd.service'. Failed! (3)

RE: FOG Server and IP Phone TFTP server
Just a quick update, I will post a more complete one once I have properly documented my progress.
Since it seems too painful to work out how to get it working in windows server SBE 2011 domain controller (which I THINK seems to be similar to server 2008?) I have managed to convince the IT guy to use one of our other 3 running server 2012 instances to run the DHCP server.
I have created a windows 2012 server VMWare VM and set the DHCP server up as per @Wayne-Workman’s excellent article https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/BIOS_and_UEFI_Co-Existence
I added a Vendor class for the IP phones and the PC types listed here https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/BIOS_and_UEFI_Co-Existence#Example_1
I then added the scope polices as described in the example. It is this ability to add scope policies that Windows Server 2008 is lacking.
I find it incredible that the DHCP service cannot just be upgraded/replaced to have this functionality.FOG is installed on a CentOS VMWare VM that @Wayne-Workman generously helped my set up. I had installed it all but for some reason the installer did not complete (probably my fault) as /opt/fog/.fogsettings did not exist.
I have since captured and redeployed and XP and a Win7 image for testing purposes. The next step I assume is to try and build a universal HAL image.

RE: FOG Server and IP Phone TFTP server
@Wayne-Workman So it will not work if all the FOG files plus the files for the IP phones just sit in the same place and the FOG clients just get the files they need ?
Sorry I guess I dont really understand it fully
