<p></p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>I am getting the following error on the dashboard:<br /> <br /> &lt;b&gt;Permission denied to call method XMLHttpRequest.open&lt;/b&gt;<br /> <br /> The cause of this error is the security built into Firefox, which doesn't allow for ajax calls across domains. If you are running FOG on a single machine then don't use http://localhost/fog; instead use http://[ipaddress_of_server]/fog.<br /> <br /> == Alternatively... ==<br /> <br /> Refering to the raw IP address of something that uses AJAX by only IP is a crazy and insane idea...plus kills using Virtual Hosting. You should be a good sysadmin and configure a DNS entry for your FOG server and amend 'WEB_HOST' and 'STORAGE_HOST' (should do no harm to amend 'STORAGE_HOST', it should not be used by the AJAX system to pull in data from the webserver) in '/var/www/html/fog/common/config.php' from the IP address to the DNS name you are using.<br /> <br /> [[category:errors]]<br /> [[category:faq]]</div>
