Hello,
I had installed PacketFence on Ubuntu 12.04 Server Edition, and all was
working fine. I could access the dashboard at https://<ipaddress>:1443
without issue.
After moving the hard drive into a different machine and verifying network
connectivity, I could no longer access the dashboard at all. After messing
with it for a while, I figured it would be faster to simply remove it and
reinstall since I had not gotten far in the configuration process yet.
After "sudo apt-get purge packetfence" and a reboot, I ran "sudo apt-get
install packetfence" (sources and keys were already added the last time I
installed). Once that was complete, I ran "sudo service packetfence
start", which returned "packetfence: unrecognized service". Thinking that
I must have overlooked some error message during the installation, I ran
"sudo apt-get install packetfence" once again - below you can see the
problematic output it returned:
administrator@PacketFence-ALTO:~$ sudo apt-get install packetfence
[sudo] password for administrator:

Does anyone have any tips on getting this packetfence installation sorted
out so I do not need to start from compete scratch with a fresh Ubuntu
installation?
Thanks in advance,
