Ok… seems that something is wrong with the FOGMulticastManager… it stops, starting it again solved the problem.

sudo service FOGMulticastManager stop && sleep 30 && sudo service FOGMulticastManager start

Thank you!

I mean, what was the idea to give this project the name of “FOG”?

What led to call it “FOG”?

Hi, my problem is that i cannot use multicast on the clients, i’ve tried it with a host and with a group, didn’t work in both cases.

I’ve tried this also : https://wiki.fogproject.org//wiki/index.php?title=Troubleshooting_a_multicast#Troubleshooting

And works perfectly, u can see the log :

$ tail -f /opt/fog/log/multicast.log
11:17:12.804261 Using mcast address 232.158.158.51
11:17:12.805397 UDP sender for /opt/fog/.fogsettings at 192.158.158.51 on eth0
11:17:12.805783 Broadcasting control to 224.0.0.1
11:19:33.254858 Starting transfer: 00000009

11:19:33.288428 Disconnecting #1 (192.158.158.16)```

But if i try with a multicast task nothing happens:

I didn’t make any change on multicast settings… i don’t know if i should make some change in the Config.class.php file or what…

My fog settings are:

ipaddress="192.158.158.51";
interface="eth0";
routeraddress="         option routers      192.158.158.18;";
plainrouter="192.158.158.18";
dnsaddress="    option domain-name-servers      208.67.222.222; ";
dnsbootimage="208.67.222.222";
password="";
osid="2";
osname="Debian";
dodhcp="y";
bldhcp="1";
installtype="N";
snmysqluser=""
snmysqlpass="#####";
snmysqlhost="";
installlang="0";
donate="0";
fogupdateloaded="1"

And the Config.class.php file (multicast settings) :

private static function svc_setting()
        {
                define( "UDPSENDERPATH", "/usr/local/sbin/udp-sender" );
                define( "MULTICASTLOGPATH", "/opt/fog/log/multicast.log" );
                define( "MULTICASTDEVICEOUTPUT", "/dev/tty2" );
                define( "MULTICASTSLEEPTIME", 10 );
                define( "MULTICASTINTERFACE", "eth0" );
                define( "UDPSENDER_MAXWAIT", null );
                define( "LOGMAXSIZE", "1000000" );
                define( "REPLICATORLOGPATH", "/opt/fog/log/fogreplicator.log" );
                define( "REPLICATORDEVICEOUTPUT", "/dev/tty3" );
                define( "REPLICATORSLEEPTIME", 600 );
                define( "REPLICATORIFCONFIG", "/sbin/ifconfig" );
                define( "SCHEDULERLOGPATH", "/opt/fog/log/fogscheduler.log" );
                define( "SCHEDULERDEVICEOUTPUT", "/dev/tty4" );
                define( "SCHEDULERSLEEPTIME", 60 );
        }

Thanks and sorry for my bad english

I’m using fog 1.2.0, i’ve changed the date.timezone and now seems to schedule correctly, i can’t schedule for dates in the past.

anyway when i start the client the download doesn’t start, the fog menu appears…

Hi, i have a problem with FOG, the task “Schedule Delayed Deployment” is not working, it never starts the download on the PC.

btw, i think the fog date is wrong, i’ve tried to schedule it for 3 hours ago and it throws an error “Scheduled date is in the past” which is correct, but if i schedule it for 2 hours ago it doesn’t throw the error… so i think that the date is wrong, i’ve checked the date of the operating system and it’s ok…

Any idea?
Sorry for my bad english!!!

@ch3i No, the images are on the fog server, on /images folder.

The config is ok… i think that the problem could be the switch, i’ll change it next monday and i’ll tell you if it’s solved.

Thanks

Same problem here with Ubuntu 14.04 server

Unicast works perfectly but multicast freezes
Any suggestions?
