Hey Chris,

I think I ran in to the same problem during my initial setup. CentOS (Or
RHEL) version 6 starts using a service called NetworkManager (case
sensitive, I think) to manage the network adapters.  If I understand this
correctly, it means that the "network" service is no longer responsible for
managing the network adapters.  What you want is to get back on to the old
"network" service. 

 

This thread may help you get started:

Once you have your network adapters initialized by the "network" service
rather that the "NetworkManager" service, the installation script should see
them properly, and then populate your network.conf file.

Subject: [PacketFence-users] network.conf is empty

 

After running both ./installer.pl and ./configurator.pl scipts, I try to
start PacketFence by running /sbin/service packetfence start

I get  the following error:

root@packetfence sbin]# /sbin/service packetfence start
starting PacketFence....Checking configuration sanity...
FATAL = please define exactly one management interface
FATAL = internal network(s) not defined
FATAL = networks.conf cannot be empty when services.dhcpd is enabled
FATAL = networks.conf cannot be empty when services.named is enabled

I can now see that /usr/local/pf/conf/networks.conf is empty.

I would appreciate any direction as to how I can manually define my
networks.conf file.   (or am I not doing something right so that
networks.conf is not being generated?)

When I run configurator.pl, I am selecting:
1.) PacketFence standalone (Basic configuration)

Enforcement choice = 1.) VLANS

I've tried this on two setups.  One is a virtual machine with 3 virtual
NICS.  The other is a Dell Poweredge sc430 with a nic in the mb as well as a
dual port Intel nic.   Both are running CentOS 6.   Both configurations are
giving me the same identical empty networks.conf file.

I'm happy to read a FAQ, or any direction one might have if I knew where to
look.   To see a working networks.conf file would be a real help.


Thanks for your time.

Chuck
