It’s been a very long time since my last post.

Very busy these days. Now I’m working for a company try to create captive portal, I make packetfence a try.

It is a very nice application based on CentOS.

I started with CentOS 6.4, added the repositories it needed, and then:

yum install -y packent fence

What a nice day!

But bang!!!! what!?

The conflict in man!!! Man!!!

You got conflict in the Fcking manual that I wasn’t suppose to read and **failed!!!!!! the installation completely!!!!

I tried to google for that, and plenty of the problem like this

And, they won’t get anything as fixed….

So how can I go on?

I tried a dirty way.

First, I install the mod_perl and perl-devel using yum:

yum install -y mod_perl perl-devel

Then let’s download the perl-Apache-Test from CPAN:

wget http://search.cpan.org/CPAN/authors/id/P/PH/PHRED/Apache-Test-1.38.tar.gz

Then let’s install it:

perl Makefile.PL

make install

But, even we installed the f*cking perl-Apache-Test, we can’t be done, yet.

Yum won’t know you have installed the perl-Apache-Test, and will still try to download it and install it and failed your installation.

So, you need to test yum to skip it, adding 1 line to /etc/yum.conf

exclude=perl-Apache-Test

Then try the yum install again, you’ll be done.

It cost me 1 hour to do this investigation and how frustrated I was, so I wrote this blog to record it down, if this can helps anyone, the time and energy of mine won’t be wasted.
