I just noticed a significant error in:

/usr/lib/systemd/system/wapttftpserver.service.

You should have:

--root_dir=/var/www/wads/pxe

, but it should be:

--root_dir=/var/www/html/wads/pxe.

Try replacing `reload / restart`.

Hello,

I modified the file /usr/lib/systemd/system/wapttftpserver.service and restarted the service.

However, when I run this command, it still fails, so on the Wapt client side, it still fails:

tftp srvwapt3.domain.fr
tftp> binary
tftp> get efi/boot/bootmgfw.efi
Transfer timed out.
tftp>

There seems to be a problem with the wapttftpserver service.

Thank you in advance for your reply.

I just retested on an AlmaLinux 10 system.

After modifying wapttftpserver.service on my system, I can confirm that it works.

Verify that the correct folder is present here:

`ps aux | grep wapttftpserver.bin`

It works on my server itself, but not on a client machine. On

the WAPT client side, when I try to boot, I now get the following message:

........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
PXE-E79: NBP is too big to fit in free base memory
PXE-M0F: Existing Intel PXE ROM
.........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

I wonder what this means

It seems to be switching to UEFI mode, not Legacy mode. It's currently stuck due to a domain name issue when it launches the DOS console:

Indeed, efi/boot/bootmgfw.efi is for UEFI only

https://www.wapt.fr/fr/doc/wapt-wads.ht ... figuration

In hybrid mode, we use IPXE for legacy systems and efi/boot/bootmgfw.efi for UEFI systems
