I've been fighting with fog for two weeks now, and this is much appreciated... I've downloaded the server, but am wondering if there is a login and password I'm missing somewhere. I'D LOVE TO USE IT BUT CAN'T !!

I've been trying to get it running on centos 6.2, but as a full gui install, so maybe that's my problem. It runs, but when I go to upload or deploy, I get the can't connect to tftp server error. I've checked my passwords in all files and configs a thousand times, and can connect to the thing ftp, so I don't think the pw is the problem.

If you can get me a login and pw for your vhd, I'd love to try it. Maybe some instructions in your manual about it?

Love the manual... would make one for centos if I could get it to work!

Thanks,

David

I am planning on doing an update soon. I have just been super busy, and this will be a separate guide for the VHD actually.

Uploading a 2.4GB vhd image along with prefs to my dropbox account. Compressed it is 690MB!

The log in credential are as follows.
For the OS, FTP, SSH, and sudo.
USERNAME - pxeadmin
PASSWORD - password

For the fog WEB GUI
USERNAME - fog
PASSWORD - password

The bottom one is used for the webui front end. http://<yourserverip>/fog/management
Please change these passwords!!!


The pxe menu and bg.png are mine personally....don't call me lol

The menu entries have to be added, but the menu and sub-menu is all there and working.

I am starting the new VHD today with Ubuntu Server 12.04. Also Starting the new guide for the VHD and it will include the following.

Introduction - Explains Where and How to Get the Files Needed.

Chapter 1 - Installing, Configuring, and Running The VHD For the First Time.

Chapter 2 - A Quick Tutorial and Walkthrough Of The Fogproject Server and PXE Booting.

Chapter 3 - Customizing The PXE Boot Menu, and TFTPBOOT folder structure.

Chapter 4 - Adding Rescue Anti-Virus Disks

That will be all for now.
