Hi,

I experience problems with installing packetfence 6 on debian jessie:
A vanilla debian jessie is used on a vm with VLAN 1 untagged and the other
VLANs as trunk.
The vm host runs open-vswitch and xen.

1. Installation
In addition to a vanilla debian guest, I installed:
- vlan package
- bridge-utils package

After installation of packetfence 6 with apt-get, Apache does not start
correctly. It starts, but after a few seconds stops.
If I start Apache manually with 

/usr/sbin/apache2 -f /usr/local/pf/var/conf/httpd.conf.d/httpd.admin
-Ddebian &

the following error is raised:
AH00526: Syntax error on line 104 of
/usr/local/pf/var/conf/httpd.conf.d/httpd.admin:

line 308.\nCompilation failed in require at (eval 2) line 2.\n

No web-wizard of course.

After 
apt-get install libswitch-perl
apache starts, although manually.

2. Web wizard crashes on adding a number of VLANs
If I add VLANs in the first step of the wizard, the first three VLANs go
well, but the fifth VLAN results in a full disconnect of the machine (not
pingable anymore via
one of the management VLAN 1).To my understanding, I entered the fifth VLAN
the same as with VLAN four, only a different subnet. My vlan setup:
- VLAN 1: offered untagged on the vm host
- VLAN 12: Registration
- VLAN 13: Isolation
- VLAN 20: Other
- VLAN 30: Other
Network connectivity tot the packetfence host is lost on adding VLAN 30.

By the way: what should be filled in at the virtual IP field?

3. Web wizard does not complete
After only filling in a few VLANs (those for registration and isolation),
the wizard continues until the last step, which should start the services.
However, all the services start, except httpd.portal.
Because the wizard does not finalize, I can not access the management
portal. If I try do so, the wizard starts from the beginning.

Help would  be appreciated.

Best,

-- JG
