Stop the firewall temporarily and see if it works.
service iptables stop
If you can see the webpage when the firewall is stopped, then you need to add a
rule to iptables in order to let you access port 80/443, something like:
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -i eth0 -j ACCEPT --dport 80
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -i eth0 -j ACCEPT --dport 443
-A INPUT will append to the INPUT chain-p tcp specifies the packet is a
TCP packet-i eth0 specifies the interface.-j ACCEPT If the packet matches
it should be accepted--dport 80 Port number. 80 for HTTP, 443 for HTTPS
then run,iptables save
to save the changes.
If it doesn't work, post the content of your logs to the mailing list.
You can monitor the logs, and see if there's something strange there by opening
a terminal and run:
tail -f /usr/local/pf/logs/packetfence.log
Then reproduce your issue, and watch the contents of packetfence.logand post
that information here.

Virtualization & Cloud Management Using Capacity Planning
Cloud computing makes use of virtualization - but cloud computing
also focuses on allowing computing to be delivered as a service.
