Hello JG,

Did you experienced this with the latest version (6.0.3)? I tried a 
fresh install on Jessie and did not experienced this issue.

Although I am running this VM host on vmware.

Did you see any error when installing packetfence?

apt-get install libswitch-perl

Can you give us the version of libswitch-perl installed?

After installing libswitch-perl manually, was packetfence able to start 
the httpd process by itself with a systemctl start packetfence, if not 
was it the same error?

Because the wizard does not finalize, I can not access the management
portal.

You should be able to reach the management if the admin started, try 
https://your_ip:1443/admin after finalizing the configurator.

Any luck in /usr/local/pf/logs/httpd.admin.{log/error} when the you lost 
your connection while adding vlan?

However, all the services start, except httpd.portal.

Anything in /usr/local/pf/logs/httpd.portal... or 
/usr/local/pf/logs/packetfence.log ?

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

This is in case you want to use a VIP, to setup a cluster for instance.

Thank you
