Hello Thomas,

yes it's possible to do that, just configure snat interface in network config.

This will enable nating on the specific interface but you will need to use the router ip as the default gateway on packetfence.

Also i prefer debian as centos (i do the debian packaging) and i did a test for 7.2 with a debian jessie minimal install and didn't see any issue to install packetfence.

Before you start to install on debian be sure that the server is able to reach internet and to resolv any fqdn.

Btw give me all the step you did.

Regards

Fabrice

I tried it, but still seem to be having the same issue
I finally bit the bullet and went for CentOS, even though I’m a debian guy.

I got the install to happen with 0 issues, went to go though the configuration steps and this is where I am now getting confused.

I want to setup PF as a inline device between my router and my switch

Internet ---- Router ---- PF ---- Network

The way I understand the documentation is to set the connection between the router and PF as the management network, and the PF to Network connection as the Inline connection

However what id like to do, if possible, is add a third network to PF for the management.

Internet --- Router --- PF --- Network
                                            --- Management

So the 3 interfaces I would end up with is Public Internet, Private Lan and Management

I hope this makes sense, and when I get some more free time, ill go back to playing with debian and see if I can get the installer to work on there as well

Thanks

Thomas,

It looks like there is a package missing

Try this and let me know.

apt-get install libclass-xsaccessor-perl

    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}
    <https://fingerbank.inverse.ca/api/v1/download?key=$%7b_APIKEY%7d>
    --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.

    Full PasteBin Here
    https://pastebin.com/ygpJ43nk

    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
