Hey team
Im trying to install packetfence on a VM and I keep running into issue after
issue
I have tried to fix a few of them, but just keep hitting walls.
Can I get some help with installing it on my system.
I am installing it on a XenServer VM, happy to provide specs if required
Here are the steps I have taken
First I installed Debian 8, updated everything and started the install
instructions from here
https://packetfence.org/doc/PacketFence_Administration_Guide.html
The first problem I kept running into was getting the key from keys.gnupg.net
(kept timing out)
I fixed this by pinging the server and using the IP that it returned rather
then the domain
(Although the domain worked fine this last time I did it while writing these
notes)
The next problem is when downloading what I assume is the FingerBank Database
fingerbank_Upstream.db, always times out with the error
“curl: (18) transfer closed with 719998577 bytes remaining to read”
I have managed to fix it by going into
/var/lib/dpkg/info/fingerbank.postinst
and changing the curl command to the following
curl -o $FINGERBANK/db/fingerbank_Upstream.db
https://fingerbank.inverse.ca/api/v1/download?key=${_APIKEY} --compressed
This allows it to shrink the file enough to download it.
(From aprox 1.5GB to 382MB)
This is where I am upto with Debian 8
first comes a long list of errors similar to this
insserv: warning: current start runlevel(s) (empty) of script `freeradius'
overrides LSB defaults (2 3 4 5).
insserv: warning: current stop runlevel(s) (0 1 2 3 4 5 6) of script
`freeradius' overrides LSB defaults (0 1 6).
Then
Could not write namespace config::
Could not write namespace interfaces
Quite a few lines of this
Followed by a few lines of
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/local/pf/lib/pf/dal/iterator.pm line
19.
Compilation failed in require at /usr/local/pf/lib/pf/dal.pm line 25.
And finally
Job for packetfence-httpd.admin.service failed.

I have tried Debian 7 as well, and gotten different errors
(Cant remember which off the top of my head, but I can redo it if you need logs)
And the Virtual Appliance (OVF) file Imports fine into my VM
Then hangs on
A start job is running for dev-mapp...100.device
I have left it for half an hour which I know is excessive but nothing changed
I know its a lot going on, and I feel like i’m missing an important step
causing all these errors during install.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Tom
