Cheers Derek,
I've configured the VIPs to start up in heartbeat config and this now works.

The high-availability interface appeared in my networks.conf during the setup, 
but I think that was me selecting the wrong option during the configurator, so 
you can safely ignore that part of my email.

Thanks for the swift reply,
Andi

Subject: Re: [PacketFence-users] Cannot start httpd.portal if reg/iso VIPs 
declared

Hello Andi,

I'm just installing version 4.3 for the first time and so far I like that you 
can configure the VIPs from the web interface, thanks for this :)

Pleasure. It is a minor improvement but yes, it saves you from some headache 
depending on your setup and how you work with the administration interface.

However, when I declare the VIP for the registration and isolation networks I 
can no longer start packetfence, commenting the lines out of pf.conf and the 
services start with no issue. It works on the management interface with no 
issue.

Any thoughts on what I've missed setting up the VIP on these two interfaces? Do 
I perhaps need to set them up as an interface in the heartbeat config?

When we thought about adding the possibilty to configure virtual IP from the 
configurator / web admin, we didn't want to be too intrusive on the user 
system... We had in mind that the "ip add" and interfaces configuration stuff 
would be done by the user in the heartbeat config before trying to start 
PacketFence. But, as you stated, services are now unable to start if you 
configure a VIP in PacketFence without having it configured on the system.

For the moment, you need to configure it manually (heartbeat configuration) but 
we're in the process of having it fix in case it is not configured system level.

Also, I had to comment out the high-availability interface out of my 
networks.conf as the configurator seemed to want to put it in there.

I'm not sure I fully understand that part...

Cheers!
dw.
