Hi there,

I'll keep it short and simple:
I want to install PacketFence on Debian 9.9 (Stretch)  for a local LAN event.

For this, I have installed Debian 9.9 minimal with the netinstaller from my USB stick. (Nothing else but "basic system utilities" selected). I have disabled apparmor and selinux (although that shouldn't be active on Debian 9 anyways) and disabled the nameserver-hook in "dhclient" (resolvconf not installed).

After adding the Inverse repository and installing PacketFence, I seem to be unable to complete the configuration. For some reason, when I try to open the panel on :1443, the connection gets reset.

Looking into the logs, I can see that PacketFence seems to be unable to connect to the database server and there's no database section in "conf/pf.conf.default" and "pf.conf" is completely empty. Normally, I would just create that db user but I fear messing up something by doing that before the actual configuration (and I don't know the password PF is trying to use anyways).

I have already searched through various resources online but they seem to be littered with outdated or just related issues and did not help in my case. (I've re-installed the system before each try to make sure they don't interfere.)

How can I go about to solve this?


Thank you in advance!

Kind regards,

Magnus Leßmann
