Topic: TFTP Server problems on SME 6.5 Beta 2

[EnglishRob]

Hi folks,

I'm having a few problems getting TFTP Server running on SME Server 6.5 Beta 2.  I've followed the HOWTO on this page but the TFTP server doesn't seem to start up.

When I try booting from the network (both on my main PC and through a VMWARE virtual PC) it comes up saying that it can't find the filename.

I tried running tftp from the command line and uploading a file to the tftp server itself and this just timed out.

At the moment in my tftpboot folder I only have pxeboot.0 from the Syslinux package.

Any pointers would be great, I can't seem to find a process running that relates to tftp.

Any ideas?

Rob,
I haven't done this on SME but after a quick look at your link page, you won't find a tftp process running. xinetd starts one as required and it exits on completion. Check /var/log/messages for any info. Verify that xinetd is running (ps ax | grep xinetd) and if so check it passes control to tftp (telnet SMESERVER_IP/localhost/whatever 69).
