Francois, First an apologetic Thank-you for bearing with me.
I think I've determined a 'minimal (OS) installation' means literally that, i.e. the type of CentOS installation to choose when the install script is running is 'minimal' (not 'Desktop minimal', or some server variant.) So, that's what I've done, and have gotten all the repo's installed as well including the Packetfence-complete option. I.e. CentOS 6.2 and PF 3.1. So now I'm at the installer.pl step but am stymied with MySQL issues. Not having configured MySQL's root pw yet, installer.pl tells me: "Please set a proper root password for your MySQL instance. Exiting Perhaps you did not configure mysql with /usr/bin/mysql_secure_installation?" When I run /usr/bin/mysql_secure_installation it tells me: "Enter current password for root (enter for none): ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2) Enter current password for root (enter for none):" I'm under the impression at this point of the installation that the Packetfence-complete repo installed MySQL Server and it should be available to installer.pl? And for completeness sake, I'll let you know I am able to reproduce a bug I saw reported on your development list about CentOS 6 'minimal' install not writing the ifcfg-ethX files. In addition, I can also confirm reports I've seen that wget is no longer part of the 'minimal' CentOS installation, but it's a simple matter to rectify with 'yum install wget'. Thank you! Some day I hope I'm able to return the favors I've received on this forum. Steve On 2/13/2012 6:36 PM, Steve Wittstruck wrote: > Hi Francois, > > Snmptrap's stopped arriving for no known reason?!
