Installation

Please download the latest PacketFence release from here. You can either download the RPMs, or, if you prefer installing using the tarball, copy the files into /usr/local/pf.

Since there is a bug in the thread library of Perl 5.8.5 (the version installed with RHEL4 and CentOS4), you'll need to upgrade your Perl installation to, at least, version 5.8.8. On RHEL4 and CentOS4, you can do this by rebuilding the Fedora Core 5 Perl SRPM.

Next, you need to install Net-SNMP (http://www.net-snmp.org/ ) and the following Perl modules (available either as RPMs or from http://www.cpan.org ):

• Net::SNMP
• Net::Telnet::Cisco
• Log::Log4Perl
• Net::Mac::Vendor
• Thread::Pool

Configuration

Execute installer.pl and configurator.pl and follow the onscreen instructions.
