[Solved] EPM TFTP FIles not found

I’m willing to bet someone knows the answer to this with one sentence. I however have probably exhausted my eyes.

I am really stuck here. I have used OSS in the past and worked through issues to get it working. However this is a brand new install, using FPBX distro FreePBX 13.0.190.19, with Commercial EPM 13.0.104.6.5.

What is working:
DHCP w/Option 66.
Creating templates.
Hooking extensions.

Phones I am working with Cisco SPA514G.
I have updated firmware on 514G to 7.5.2.b then to 7.5.5.

I did tons of searching and testing and trying things prior to asking, but all the similar issues that seem to be fixed, the fixes do not work for me.

I verified that the MAC information is in the extension, and they are hooked. I tried changing the case on the mac, and it is indeed changing the file that is in the /tftpboot directory. I am getting a SPA514G.cfg and spa(mac address).xml file created which matches appropriately to what I create with EPM.

I verified TFTP server is running. I disabled iptables. I quadruple checked the TFTP settings. See below for some of that information. Additionally, tftpd seems to be working well, to the point it does not show running, until I reboot the phone and it requests config information through option 66. At that point it triggers the service running as shown below.

Checked permissions on /tftpboot and changed to 777 and tested. The files it appears to be looking for, just don’t exist in /tftpboot. I’m sure I’ve missed something very simple, but I can not figure it out and googlefu has let me down.

I can ping the phone from the box via SSH. They are both plugged into the same switch, isolated by themselves right here on the desk.

I’m not sure this is a TFTP problem so much as it is a configuration problem I missed setting up Com. EPM.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Cancel thread. Somehow I was getting option 66 served but something must have been malforming when it was delivered. Tore the dhcp server down and started over and the problem seems to be resolved. But as I suspected not EPM related at all…
