Unable to start PacketFence when at the last step in configurator on v14.1
PacketFence stopped at checking pfperl-api status right after restarting pfperl-api,
and halted, leaving haproxy-admin restart undone.
if manually refresh https://@pf_ip:1443/admin, PF stays on the same configurator page.
in previously version, it will take quite a long time before pfperl-api to get ready and then PacketFence will be ready.
and after a automatically redirection, configurator is gone and login page will pop up.
To Reproduce
prepare for a new Debian12 linux machine,
follow the suggest steps in installing PacketFence v14.1
go through the configurator when installation is done.
