Download FOG, in this case 0.2.7. Terminal>sudo nautilus and move the tar.gz for FOG to /opt then extract into /opt/fog Install ubuntu updates, let it restart.

Terminal "cd /opt/fog/bin" then sudo ./installfog.sh As it asks you questions, I think they're all defaults It should install the rest if your LAMP server Then it will ask you to hit enter, Do so, and it will start the MySQL secure installation stuff. Give it a mysql root password. It will install a bunch more stuff. More Mysql, Gcc, XineTD, blah blah blah, then it will check the packages, and start the services. It will spit out a link something like 192.168.1.1/fog/managment and then default username 'fog' and default password 'password' go to the link, and login. I got a mysql connect error. sudo gedit /opt/fog/services/etc/config.php A window with a .php will pop up Find these 4 lines: (the Parentheses are my notes, what to add between the quotes, that it gives you, just fill in the quotes, don't change anything else. MYSQL_HOST (make this localhost) MYSQL_DATABASE "fog" MYSQL_USERNAME make this root MYSQL_PASSWORD "(set the root password)" Save and close that then also in terminal run this sudo gedit /var/www/fog/commons/config.php Find these 4 lines define( "MYSQL_HOST", "localhost" ); define( "MYSQL_DATABASE", "fog" ); define( "MYSQL_USERNAME", "root" ); define( "MYSQL_PASSWORD", "" ); in the 4th line, between the " " add your mysql password, then save and close then refresh firefox and login, it should work this time. Do not create the database FOG, it will do it on it's own. I did by accident and dropped it in mysql administrator Hit the install button and it should work, assuming mysql is running :D DHCP Go into Add/Remove programs search "dhcp" You should come up with GADMIN-DHCPD, install that.
