[SOLVED] OS installation with WAPT

Hello,

We are currently using an enterprise version of WAPT installed on a Windows machine.
To resolve issues with installing large software files (over 15 GB), I decided to reinstall the server under Linux.

I installed the latest version, 2.4.0.14031, on a Debian 11.7.0 x64 system, using our enterprise license.
The console machine is a Windows 10 VM.

I followed the installation procedure on your website meticulously, including the WAPT server, the TFTP function, and the console installation and configuration.
In addition to deploying Windows OS, I also configured WADS (as described on the website).
The TFTP server is working, as I can download the ipxe.efi file from my machine.
There is no firewall between the WAPT server, the console, and the test machine where I want to deploy my OS (for now).
The DHCP settings are as per the installation documentation.
The DNS entries are also correct.
When I start the test machine, it retrieves the necessary information, including its IP address, but then stops, giving me the message that the operation is not supported (see attached image).
The IP addresses are correct.

I don't see what I could have missed in the settings.
Do you have any idea what the problem might be?

Sincerely,
Michel Merle

if you visit the URL:

Code: Select all

http://srvwapt.mydomain.lan/api/v3/baseipxe?keymap=fr
Does it work? No redirection to https (viewtopic.php?t=3038) ?

Hello

, I saw the thread about HTTPS. I modified the settings in the files to remove HTTPS, but it still doesn't work.
There must still be HTTPS in a file, but I don't know where.

Should I rerun the configuration script without the `force-https` parameter?

Regards

Yes, indeed, just restart this and don't skip the nginx reconfiguration

/opt/wapt/waptserver/scripts/postconf.sh

I just got off the phone with a client; it must just be that WADs isn't active. ;)

If you're using Linux, in the POST configuration you need to answer "yes" to the question "enable OS deployment".

On Windows, there's a checkbox.

Hello,

After re-executing the script, everything is working correctly.
The OS deployment is successful.
