[PacketFence-users] PF 7 on Debian 8 Installation issue

[Draffin, Walt]

I just downloaded the latest version of PF 7 yesterday and have tried
installing it on a clean installation of Debian 8. I followed the FAQ
instructions for installing on Debian 8.

After installation I can not access the configurator.
port 1443 is not listening even though it says httpd.admin is already
started. (/usr/sbin/apache2 -f
/usr/local/pf/var/conf/httpd.conf.d/httpd.admin -DFOREGROUND -Ddebian)

There is no currently-at file in the conf directory.

httpd.admin.error logs just show this packetfence.packetfence.org:443:0
server certificate does NOT include an ID which matches the server name

packetfence.log shows unable to connect to database: Access denied for user
'pf'@'localhost' (using password: YES) at -e line 1.

pfconf.log also shows mysql log errors

I have reinstalled the server 3 or 4 times now from scratch.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

As a side note, ZEN does not work on Vmware 6.5, thus the reason for
installing from scratch.


Thanks in advance,
WaltDjr

Hello Walt,

there is currently an issue with libc and Lasso under Debian.

Since the libc has been updated on Debian 8.8 the httpd.admin process
segfault.

So the quick fix for now is the following:

Move 2 files:

mv /usr/local/pf/lib/pf/Authentication/SourceSAMLSource.pm
/usr/local/pf/lib/pf/Authentication/SourceSAMLSource.pm.bak

mv
html/captive-portal/lib/captiveportal/PacketFence/DynamicRouting/Module/Authentication/SAML.pm
html/captive-portal/lib/captiveportal/PacketFence/DynamicRouting/Module/Authentication/SAML.pm.bak

And restart PacketFence's services

Or:

- Install from the ZEN USB
(http://sourceforge.net/projects/packetfence/files/PacketFence%20ZEN/7.0.0/PacketFenceZEN_USB-7.0.0.tar.bz2/download)
and configure it (but don't do any upgrade).

Regards

Fabrice
