i reinstalled 13.1 on both redhat and rocky, it works fine, i can access the management url and no more error (before i did same but it didn't work)

Hi there,
Devel is unstable, so I am not surprised.
Until now, I am not able to reproduce. No issues with debian iso for me.
Questions:

• Which hypervisor?
• Did you use default values in the wizard or create specifics?

(I will try to reproduce)

Could it be related to that: #8144 ?

Hi @loganess , @JeGoi

I think it's probably the same issue we met in #8144 after checking the backend logs.
Typically, any API call that reads/writes the database will cause a 500 error and "unknown error, check logs" in the admin UI.
I got a temporary fix: manually restart pfperl-api service using systemctl restart packetfence-pfperl-api after went through the configurator that fixes the issue of #8144, Hopefully it works for this issue too.

we'll go through the issues and get this fixed in a +1 patch.

Fixed in 14.0
