security onion installation problem

[Giedrius Ramas]

I have tried to install new clean SO install (http://code.google.com/p/security-onion/wiki/Installation) and got the following errors :

 

 

dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of securityonion-all:
 securityonion-all depends on securityonion-server; however:
  Package securityonion-server is not configured yet.
dpkg: error processing securityonion-all (--configure):

Hi Giedrius,

Which version of Ubuntu are you installing on?

Could this be related?

Hi Doug  I am ussing ubuntu 12.04 lts server install.

[Doug Burks]

Are you using 12.04.4? If so, it has a newer kernel that is not
supported by PF_RING and you'll need to downgrade your kernel as
described in the link I sent in my previous email.

Here you go the details of the machine I am trying to install security onion in.  

 

 uname -r
3.8.0-29-generic

 

cat /etc/issue
Ubuntu 12.04.3 LTS \n \l

 

The error I get :

To activate the new configuration, you need to run:
  service apache2 restart
Enabling site snorby.
To activate the new configuration, you need to run:
  service apache2 reload

I was able to duplicate this by *not* installing Ubuntu updates before
installing the Security Onion packages. In this scenario,
securityonion-passenger-conf tries to install before Apache is fully
installed, thus the error. Assuming there were no errors, you should
be able to resolve the error by simply re-running the following
command:
sudo apt-get -y install securityonion-all

To avoid this in the future, please remember to install all Ubuntu
updates and reboot before installing the Security Onion packages as
described on the Installation page.

Hi Doug,

 

A month ago  followed the installation instruction : update && upgrade && reboot, done snapshot. On last Friday reverted back the snapshot and tried to install SO which was followed by the errors I described earlier.

 

Today I have done update && upgrade && reboot once again and everything worked fine.

 

P.S. probably you should bold a step 6 in the documentation

I'm glad it's working for you now!

If I bolded every step that folks accidentally missed, the whole thing
would be bold! :)
