Somehow on another computer the ZEN package is working, I'll try to 
configure it as a test, but my aim is to install it on the bare-metal 
machine with multiple NICs..

Hello Marco,

Do you have a proxy between packetfence and the internet ?
It sounds to me to be an external issue to packetfence.

Regards
Fabrice

[PacketFence-users] Unable to install no matter what

2024-04-18 Thread Laboratorio Tronic via PacketFence-users 

Hello hive mind,
    I'm not sure about how this kind of communication works but I'll 
give it a try.
I'm coming from a painful experience with pfSense, being a newbie in the 
firewall/Nac field, took me ages to setup the software like I wanted it 
to work (considering the whole project is a non-profit one for a natural 
park I volunteer for, where a messed up network is already in place and 
I don't have much manoeuvring space to change it).
Only AFTER I had it set up, I discovered the self-registration plugin 
for the captive portal is no longer unmaintained/working, so I thought 
I'd replace it all with PacketFence, which seems to have all I need.


MY HARDWARE (for testing):
- Intel Core i3 (2cores/4threads) 2,7GHz.
- 8GB DDR4 RAM
- 128GB SSD
- 1 integrated Realtek Gigabit NIC
- 2 PCIeX Intel Gigabit NICs (one of which linked to the router)

WHAT I TRIED:
- burning the ver.13 ISO on a disk and installing from scratch. -> in 
the middle of installation it doesn't find the repositories, no matter 
which country/preset I input..even inputting them manually will not 
work. Ignoring this step will led to the impossibility to retrieve the 
public key and continue installation. "Select and install software" step 
won't complete and stop the whole process.


- installing Debian first and then following the guide on the site to 
install packetfence on it. -> Debian deployment goes well but the last 
step of the guide will not work: when I apt get install packetfence it 
says many packets are damaged/blocked, repositories won't contain them, 
they're no longer maintained, are deprecated or so on. Tried finding and 
installing all the packets manually but no luck so far.


- Downloading the ZEN VM and launching it on VmWare player. -> boots up 
and then says to connect to an IP address which isn't even on the same 
subnet and anyway won't show any page when fetched by the browser.


I'm really frustrated because every review/comment about PacketFence 
seems at least satisfied, if not enthusiastic..and I can't even get started.

Anyone can help?

Thanks in advance

Marco
