@lychiang Hi - I'm just curious what your edits were to the OP as I don't see any differences and there's nothing in the article history.

Thanks!

I basically corrected 64bit-amr to 64bit-amd for ubuntu 20.x

I was running into an issue installing the BPA 3.33.0 for ML and running the command provided would end with errors. after parsing the log I found the following:

ImportError: cannot import name 'sysconfig' from 'distutils' (/usr/lib/python3.7/distutils/__init__.py)

 

I researched and the issue was python 3.7 disutils was not installed which wasn't mentioned in the install for prereqs. I was able to resolve it by running the following:

 

sudo apt-get install python3.7-distutils

 

I hope this helps someone who's running into this issue.

Can we install Expedition tool on Suse linux 12.5? As ubuntu is not allowed in our environment.

Just wanted to comment, that if you are trying to retrieve device configuration/panorama connected devices and you are logged in as "Admin" it may not work and there's no warning window or anything to let you know there's an issue.  I was able to find this log via CLI:

{"success":false,"message":"Type [op] not authorized for user role."}

 

Which is when I decide to logout of "Admin" and login as an actual admin/superuser account where the operation was successful.  This log doesn't exist in the GUI as far as I could tell.

We installed expedition 1.2.50 on ubuntu 20.04 as per installation guide but we are stuck at login page with message "authenticating please wait". We did re-installation couple of times and tried following commands as well but no luck. Can anyone please help me on this.

 

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install expedition-beta

sudo apt-get -y -f install
sudo apt-get autoremove

 

Thanks

@kandaspr Expedition only works on php 7.0 , so please re-install the ubuntu server 20.04.x and please do not perform any upgrade on the application, first thing to do is run the expedition installation script.

Hi teams,

 

I would like to install expedition tools on ubuntu 20.04. But  I did not found any documentation. So can you please share a document for install the expedition on ubuntu 20.04. 

 

I tried with 16.04 script but it is not working.

Hi @Al-Amin 

 

Thanks for reaching out.

 

Below links will point you to the required installer and installation guide.

 

Take into consideration the VM need to have internet access to following sites (including subdomains) or the script will fail to install required dependencies.

 

Let us know if you need anything else,

 

Best
