Nick, If you're still stuck, post the output of yum repolist Cheers, Mark -----Original Message----- From: Nick Daisley [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 18 January 2013 16:45 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [PacketFence-users] Finding the Installer... Yes thanks - I should have been clearer about the variations I have tried. The suffix seems to be immaterial and I get the same result whether it is used or not. And no spaces in the wrong places, I think! I still think that the issue is one of other necessary repositories being defined incorrectly somewhere.... -- Nick Daisley Faculty of History, University of Oxford George Street, Oxford 01865 615031 ________________________________ From: Russel Ingram [[email protected]] Sent: 18 January 2013 16:14 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [PacketFence-users] Finding the Installer... The name of the packetfence repo, if you followed the instructions and/or copy and pasted the repo file from the instructions, is just PacketFence, not PacketFence.repo. So your command should look like this: yum groupinstall --enablerepo=PacketFence,epel,rpmforge,of Packetfence-complete not this: yum groupinstall --enablerepo=PacketFence.repo,epel,rpmforge,of Packetfence-complete Also, it looks like you might have a space between the comma after "PacketFence.repo" and "epel" and that would also cause a problem so make sure it's not there in your actual command.

This is a CentOS 6 system, fully updated, and with all dependencies addressed so far as I am able at this point. So far as I can determine from internet resources, I have set up software repositories correctly, but still, the installation process cannot find the installer - so either it has been moved, or there is some distant corner of the galaxy that this system is still not finding. The server is behind firewalls etc, but I'm not clear why that should be a problem given that I have managed to find and install everything else. [also, I have tried different capitalisation of the installer: Packetfence, packetfence, PacketFence... it is reported differently on various web resources] Using the command in the following form, with system response: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- # yum groupinstall --enablerepo=PacketFence.repo, epel,rpmforge,of Packetfence-complete Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, refresh-packagekit, security Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile epel/metalink * base: mirror.ox.ac.uk * epel: mirror01.th.ifl.net * extras: mirrors.coreix.net * rpmforge: www.mirrorservice.org * updates: mirror01.th.ifl.net of rpmforge Setting up Group Process Checking for new repos for mirrors Warning: Group Packetfence-complete does not exist.
