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.
