In this manual we will use CentOS 6.0 (also works on Fedora, RHEL) as an example:

Download ERPXE

Download erpxe.current.tar.gz at http://www.erpxe.com/download/.

Extract ERPXE to root "/" directory

tar -xvzf erpxe.current.tar.gz 

Install a TFTP Service

yum install -y xinetd tftp-server

chkconfig xinetd on
chkconfig tftpd on

Config TFTP service

This step is very IMPORTANT! if the erpxe.remap configuration is missing most plugins will not work.

Edit "/etc/xinetd.d/tftp"

service tftp
{
	disable			= no
	socket_type		= dgram
	protocol		= udp
	wait			= yes
	user			= root
	server			= /usr/sbin/in.tftpd
	server_args		= -m /tftpboot/erpxe.remap -vvvvv -s /tftpboot
	per_source		= 11
	cps			= 100 2
	flags			= IPv4
}

Add Shares

Add HTTP support

yum install -y httpd

chkconfig httpd on
cp /tftpboot/bin/setup/erpxe-httpd.conf /etc/httpd/conf.d/

Add NFS support

yum install nfs-utils

chkconfig nfs on
  • The next step will overwrite your original /etc/exports !!!
cat /tftpboot/bin/setup/erpxe-exports > /etc/exports

Add SAMBA support

yum install samba

chkconfig smb on
  • The next step will overwrite your original /etc/samba/smb.conf !!!
cat /tftpboot/bin/setup/erpxe-smb.conf > /etc/samba/smb.conf 
  • The next step will overwrite your original /etc/samba/smb.conf !!!
cat /tftpboot/bin/setup/erpxe-smb.conf > /etc/samba/smb.conf

Create a Unix user called "erpxe":

useradd --no-create-home -s /dev/null erpxe

Set SAMBA password for user erpxe to "erpxe":

smbpasswd -a erpxe

Set password for user "root" to your password:

smbpasswd -a root

SELinux Configuration

  • Run the following command to set the correct security context after deploying ERPXE base and plugins.
restorecon -r /tftpboot

DHCP Configuration

Custom Settings

Remember to set a password!
