Problem when installing agent on Debian

[laurent-ta]

Hi guys,

I'm testing Vfense and I have some trouble with the Agent (0.7.2) only on my debian server (Debian 7.5).
Here is what it shows in the log in /opt/TopPatch/agent_install_failure.log

2014-08-22 16:44:23.859615 : Traceback (most recent call last):

are supported and installed on your system.

If you have any idea on how I could fix that, it would be great !!

Thx for this awesome project !

I found the solution ! It just fixed the locale settings !

Awesome, what exactly did you do, so we can document this in the wiki, cause I'm sure other people are running into this issue as well.

I needed to fix the locale settings.

First you need to check if there is something wrong when you type the command "locale".
It used to show me a missing field for LC_ALL=(unset) so you need to fix it with a command
"dpkg-reconfigure locales" and then "locale-gen".

And now when I do a "locale" command :

LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=fr
LC_CTYPE="fr_FR.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="fr_FR.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="fr_FR.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="fr_FR.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="fr_FR.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="fr_FR.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="fr_FR.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="fr_FR.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="fr_FR.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="fr_FR.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="fr_FR.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="fr_FR.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=fr_FR.UTF-8
