This seems to be caused by a password issue,
 
−
 
 
−
1. From the fog management interface, go to users.
 
−
2. Reset the fog user password.
 
−
3. Click the "I" icon - "Other Information"
 
−
4. Click "Fog Settings" in the menu on the left
 
−
5. Replace the FOG_TFTP_FTP_PASSWORD and the FOG_NFS_FTP_PASSWORD fields under FOG settings with  
 
−
    your Linux fog user password. (Seems like FOG_NFS_FTP_PASSWORD is gone for ver .24).
 
−
 
 
−
=== For Versions .24-.32 ===
 
−
 
 
−
*Reset the local password for user fog with:  [sudo] passwd fog
 
−
*In management front end, go to '''Storage Management''' -> '''All Storage Nodes'''
 
−
*Click on '''DefaultMember'''
 
−
*Change the '''Management Password''' to match the password you just changed.
 
−
*Then go to '''Other Information''' and change '''FOG_TFTP_FTP_PASSWORD''' also.
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
* Go to your fog web location, on Red Hat and CentOS is in:
 
−
/var/www/html/fog/
 
−
 
 
−
Then open the file:
 
−
/commons/config.php
 
−
 
 
−
and check the values of:
 
−
'''TFTP_FTP_PASSWORD''' and '''STORAGE_FTP_PASSWORD'''
 
−
 
 
−
These '''MUST''' match the password you set above, if not write them properly in here
 
−
 
 
−
Finally reload of the service
 
−
 
 
−
  /etc/init.d/vsftpd reload

=== Verify Server Settings ===
 
−
 
 
−
If you have modified your server setup since first install, then the new changes must be updated and verified in the '''Fog Settings''' menu.
 
−
It might not be enough to just re-run the installer.
 
−
For instance, a new IP lease will cause the server to show the '''Unable to connect to tftp server''' error message.
 
−
 
 
−
* Go to the "I" icon, which is the '''About''' menu in 0.29
 
−
* Select '''Fog Settings''' and navigate down to '''TFTP Settings''' and verify that all options are correct for your setup.

−
=== Ensure nothing else on the network is conflicting with the DHCP server ===
 
−
 
 
−
I had this error the past two days and tried all of the standard suggestions. Finally Wireshark came to the rescue. I discovered a second, feral DHCP server on the network that wasn't issuing IP addresses but must have been running interference somehow. When I disconnected it from the network, PXE boot worked as expected.
