[PacketFence-devel] staging PF repo code for testing

[Boris Epstein]

Hello all,

I have started making some code modifications and decided to test them. As
it was recommended to me I linked my code from the Github repo to
/usr/local/pf on my Centos 6 machine. I also compiled the pfcmd executable,
etc.

When I tried to run it I got the following error messages:

[***@pf1 ~]# service packetfence start
Starting PacketFence...Set name-type for VLAN subsystem. Should be visible
in /proc/net/vlan/config
Couldn't require pf::services::manager::httpd_admin : has '+name' given but
no name attribute already exists at

Couldn't require pf::services::manager::snort : Attempt to reload pf/
class.pm aborted.
Compilation failed in require at /usr/local/pf/lib/pf/violation_config.pm line
22.

When I link to the old, RPM-furnished content things seem to work fine.

For the background on this please see the following:

Thanks in advance for any and all advice.

Regards,

Boris.

A lttle addendum to the below:

here is the code I am using:

https://github.com/borepstein/packetfence

I haven't really changed much in it, definitely have not removed (or moved)
any modules, so the error messages I got are quite puzzling to say the
least.

Boris,

The problem is you may be missing some dependencies or you have a syntax
error in your code.

Here a possible fix for this.

I am assuming the following.
You are running centos or redhat

Your code is in /usr/local/pf

To get all the dependencies for packetfence without installing the
packetfence package.

yum install yum-utils

cd /usr/local/pf

sh addons/dev-helpers/centos-chroot/install-packages-from-spec.sh

This will install all the dependencies for the current devel

Make sure you have pfconfig running

/usr/local/pf/sbin/pfconfig -d

If you want to do a quick test of any changes you have done will compile.

perl -I/usr/local/pf/lib -c /usr/local/pf/lib/pf/module.pm

If you want to see if your changes will break any of our unittest do the
following.

cd /usr/local/pf/t

perl smoke.t

I hope this helps
