Hello,
I'm using WAPT 2.6, I have a secondary repository, and I want to boot via PXE for imaging purposes.
When I launch the PXE boot on a machine, I get:
Station IP address is [IP address OK]

Server IP address is [IP address OK]

NBP filename is efi/boot/bootmgfw.efi

NBP filesize is 0 bytes

PXE-E23: client received TFTP error from server.

Can you help me?
Sincerely.

Hi Benoit,

at first glance it seems to be a mismatch between UEFI and legacy boot. Could you please verify that you are indeed using UEFI on both sides (desktop and PXE)?

Regards,

Denis

Hello,
I probably should have started with this, but I'm using Oracle Linux 10.1, based on RHEL.
I disabled wapttftpserver and installed tftp-server for testing purposes. I realized that managing and configuring tftp-server under RHEL10 is significantly different
from that under RHEL9 (systemctl uses tftp-socket instead of server, and the files are no longer located under /etc/xinited...). I was leaning towards an incompatibility issue.
I'll look at your solution, but I admit I don't know how to proceed. Could you explain how to verify this?
Thank you for your help.
Best regards.

Hi Benoit,

there's a problem in the unit systemd file under RHEL. The path /var/www/html/pxe isn't correctly reflected in it, see viewtopic.php?p=16949#p16949 . You can correct the file manually; it should work afterward. This bug will be fixed in the upcoming 2.6.1 release.

Regards,

Denis

I changed the repository path to a different file system using the local_repo_path directive in the wapt-get.ini file.
I therefore assume that I am not affected by this bug.

I have a question about the permissions of the repository: could you please tell me what permissions this directory should have?
Sincerely.

When I run `sudo systemctl status wapttftpserver`, I get:
`/opt/wapt/wapttftpserver.bin --fork --username=root --root_dir=/opt/wapt/repository/wads/pxe --verbose --log-path=/dev/stdout`.
This seems to indicate that the repository I configured in `wapt-get.ini`, `local_repo_path=/Depot`, is not being used.
Can you tell me how to modify the repository path so that `wapttftpserver` uses the correct path?
Sincerely.

I'm answering my own question.
I must have installed the TFTP server before configuring wapt-get.ini.
I uninstalled and reinstalled it, and it's OK.

Hi Benoit,

thanks for the feedback,
I'm marking the topic as resolved.
