Summary

0001544: SoH configuration page fails to load because of config file permissions

Description

Page doesn't load. A perl CGI fatal error is shown (see add infos).

User environment information:

[root@pf-zen-esx pf]# rpm -q packetfence
packetfence-3.5.0-1.el6.noarch

[root@pf-zen-esx pf]# ls -l /usr/local/pf/conf/{pf,float,network}*.conf*
-rw-r--r-- 1 pf   pf     242 Aug  1 12:34 
/usr/local/pf/conf/floating_network_device.conf
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root   528 Sep  1 18:46 /usr/local/pf/conf/networks.conf
-rw------- 1 root root   521 Sep  1 18:51 /usr/local/pf/conf/pf.conf
-rw-r--r-- 1 pf   pf   24187 Aug  1 12:34 
/usr/local/pf/conf/pf.conf.defaults

[root@pf-zen-esx pf]# uname -a
Linux pf-zen-esx.packetfence.org 2.6.32-279.2.1.el6.x86_64 # 1 SMP Fri Jul 20 
01:55:29 UTC 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

It is a permission issue. Apache runs as pf and the configuration is owned by root and not even readable.

Additional Information

Error message:

Software error:

configuration. Error: Can't call method "Sections" on an undefined value at
