I would very much like to join the discussion on this. Please remember though that I am just simply a computer tech for a school district. I don’t have the background or knowledge on software development or programming or anything like that. My main goal is simply trying to install printers that are already created on our print server in our district. Previously we had Novell Zenworks, the printer management in that was pretty great. I don’t know how familiar you are with Zenworks, but we simply made a printer policy which basically made a policy that linked a printer on our print server to a machine. Everytime a user logged in it would install the printer if it was not already created for the user, since we made the printer policy for the device and not the user.

As mentioned in this thread, the printer is created in FOG and the printer is pushed out to the machine, but we also need it to remove the printer. In my case it is not removing. I would need to manually remove it. I have not had time to try on different models to see if it’s a model specific problem, but this is where I am at now. In the future I plan to try other models, but since this is not high priority right now, I have pushed printer management to the side.

On the bottom right corner on the dashboard it says Version 1.5.6.

Thank you for pointing that out. I changed the settings to manual, as it was already set to DHCP. After that, I reran the install and it completed. I do not know why there was two addresses. When I installed Cent OS, I input an ip address. I guess when it finished the install it was set for dynamic and picked up an IP but still had the manual one set.

Thank you for the reply.

I am trying to install 1.5.9 onto Cent OS 7. Using the instruction found on the wiki, I eventually get an error.

Thank you.

This is not really a problem but more of a convenience issue. I have to use the scope options 66 and 67 in windows DHCP to use FOG when using PXE boot. Is there a way to set multiple bootfiles for option 67? I had set undionly.kpxe before, but with newer Dell machines in our district I have to set ipxe.efi. When using ipxe.efi on older models, an error would comeback saying that that bootfile is too large. Using undionly.kpxe on the newer models does not work at all. Is it possible to have both set and it would use whatever one works or at least have the option to select a boot file?

I set the name ‘fogstorage’. There was already a randomly generated password in the line below.

No success opening WebUI.

I changed snmysqluser to ‘fogmaster’. It was previously ‘foguser’. Re-ran installer. It stopped at same error.

I may have changed something during that first update, I vaguely remember changing a username.

I have done an update before. I forget what the beginning version for me was, but I believe I may have done that install with tar.gz. I was following the installation instructions from the wiki. When I updated to 1.5.9RC1, just before last summer I believe, I did that one through github. I only say that because I remember asking to have that site open since our firewall was blocking it. Now I am using github to update. I ran these commands for the update I am attempting now from another post.

cd /root/fogproject
git checkout master
git pull
cd bin
./installfog.sh

Separate thing I noticed was that I was trying to use the GUI to navigate to the .sql file but it has an X on the root folder.

Not sure if that means anything. I cannot open it. Forgive me for not being more in depth if needed, I am new to linux.
