Absolute Beginners Guide to R80.x Installation problems

I tried - unsuccessfully to install GAIA and Smart Console using the instructions provided by Valeri_Loukine and ran into problems.  The installation seemed to work fine, but when I tried to run and GAIA, I kept getting a "403 Error"  I tried using both VMware Workstation 15 and VirtualBox, but was unable to connect.

Would appreciate any assistance.

My setup:

Microsoft Surface Book 2

16GRAM

500G HD

Running on wireless access.  Have a FingBox installed in network.

Tried different browsers - Edge, Chrome, IE, FireFox

 

I'm thinking that the IP addressing suggestions are what is screwing me up.. 

Thanks!

Hi @JeffS

Check this:

1) Connect via local VMWare connsole.

2) Login as 'admin'

3) Now set expert password 'set password <your expert pw>'

4) Login as expert user 'expert'

5) Disable firewall policy 'fw unloadlocal'

6) Check die IP address 'ifconfig'

7) Now ping your firewall from your notebook

If the ping works, it's a firewall problem. If the ping does not work it is a VMWare problem.

If you have a firewall issue check port 443:

# netstat -an | grep 443

and the HTTP prozess:

# ps - auf |grep httpd

If both points are ok >  check browser proxy settings and clear the browser cache.

Hi @JeffS 

Sorry, I didn't read right that you were already logged in.

Please try to call the following link manually after login for the GUI portal.

https:///cgi-bin/home.tcl

or running the First Time Configuration Wizard again:

If for some reason the user needs to run the First Time Configuration Wizard again, then perform the following steps:

Important Note: If this machine was configured as Security Gateway, then it is not recommended to reconfigure it as StandAlone because after performing the below activity and configuring it as a Standalone you will see Security Management Server status as "Attention" in SmartView Monitor.

# expert
# rm -i /etc/.wizard_accepted
# rm -i /etc/.wizard_started
# reboot

 

You should have the following minimum requirements on VM:

- Gateway 4 GB RAM, minumum 1 core beter 2 cores
- Management 8 GB RAM, minimum 2 cores

Hi Jeff,

Could you also clear your brower's cookies and cache if you haven't done so already and try again?

What resources have you assigned to the Check Point VM Jeff? Also, is it a standalone deployment whereby it's both a manager and a gateway? Moreover, what sort of interface has it been assigned (bridged, host-only etc.)?

In addition to my previous post, have you been trying to log into Gaia with http or https?
