Jori,
Did you get packetfence running on EL7? I just tried running through the
initial install, port 1443 gives error:
{ "status":503, "message":"No server is available to handle this request" }
and syslog throws:
packetfence: -e(1851) FATAL: unable to connect to database: Access denied
for user 'pf'@'localhost' (using password: YES) at -e line 1.#012
(pf::db::db_connect)
/usr/local/pf/conf/pfconfig.conf

backend=mysql
[mysql]
host=localhost
user=pf
pass=packet
db=pf
port=3306
table=keyed
db=pf is listed, but the db doesn't seem to have been created by the
installer:
MariaDB [(none)]> show databases;
+--------------------+

| mysql |
| performance_schema |

Thanks,
