Hi MJ,
we tried again with clean install, the next steps:
- VM on Proxmox (KVM, 8 core, 16Gb RAM, 3 disk for VM)
- boot from curren debian 9 netinstall ISO
- one network interface, static IP address
- use deutschland debian APT mirrors (but prev. installs I used
Hungarian mirrors)
- seperated mount points for /, /var, /usr (20G, 30G, 20G), ext4 FS
- with installer tools install "standard system utilities" and SSH
server, no other
- debian installer finish, reboot
- apt-get install dirmngr (it has been installed previous installations!)
- add inverse, repository, keys and apt update|upgrade
- last step, apt-get install packetfence
- waiting ... :)
- after ~10 minutes, apt "finished", but packetfence packate
installation is broken.
I have no idea, this is very simple task, I don't understand the mistakes.
I'll attach some logs:
- installer console log - https://megosztasom.hu/s/ZRbq7TgyMeDFaz2
- syslog - https://megosztasom.hu/s/cWM6rPbMGRWGMKm
- packetfence.log - https://megosztasom.hu/s/Q2sj6nAxAp58KzS
When you look at the logs, you see myssql error.
I think this is a main problem, the packetfence package installer not
setting mysql.
No database, no user, nothing.

Hi Szél Gábor,
Just for the record: just did a 9.1 test install, using fresh minimal
debian 9, and the instructions on
https://packetfence.org/support/faq/how-to-install-packetfence-on-debian.html
Instructions are missing a step:
> apt-get install dirmngr
During the install, there were many errors like:
Could not write namespace resource::all_cluster_hosts() to L2 cache !
Could not write namespace resource::all_cluster_servers() to L2 cache !
.....
Could not write namespace interfaces::management_network() to L2 cache !
But everything installed fine, and the configurator was listening.
Step 2, Networks:
This was the usual frustrating experience, with interfaces often
loosing their configured type & configuration, after edits in another
interface, so you are forced to keep making the same edits, before
being able to click next. But it basically does work.
Step 3, Database:
- click test, and were offered to set a mysql root password
- provided *again* the root password, and it created the pf database
- also the user pf was created successfully
The rest was just next, next, and everything worked perfectly.
So your problem is something specific to what you are doing, and the
procedure works fine. Only complaint, being: it would be nice if the
network configuration step would behave a bit more consistantly...

I think this is a normal way.
But, I dont know what is wrong on my install.
We dont install any package, only default clean install. We dont make
any settings.
After debian clean installation we add packetfence APT repo, and a
try to install packetfence with apt.
I think current packetfence debian package is broken :(
I was trying to find an older packetfence debian package, but I
couldn't find it.
