@camelsaq Having this problem aswell, either on system updates, version checkup within the dashboard and checking for latest version.
Can't find any specific issue appart from this function:
Call to undefined function check_dnsavailable() in ...Anybody has any idea? Can't find an open issue for it.
Thanks in advance,
Lizz

@lizznl I'm seeing the same. Refreshed the dashboard and there was an error present directly in the
Version
widget:I checked out the code in /etc/inc/pkg-utils.inc and it's definitely referring to a function that doesn't exist. At least temporarily to stop getting the messages, I created a patch to comment out the function which is presumably there to check to see if DNS is working.

I checked the code in 2.5.2 for
pkg-utils.inc
and that function wasn't mentioned there either so it must have been added in 2.6.0. I see the actual function is in system.inc so I am guessing that include file isn't being included as it should be. -
Actually, I think it is a problem with pfsense API patching the
system.inc
and removing the function. See pfsense API. I filed an issue. -
@mbentley Thanks a lot for looking into this. Found your issue reported aswell :) This happens also with the auto backup page. And update page;

@lizznl Ah good catches. It's missing at least these two functions:
Not sure I would want to do a patch of a patched file but I've temporarily added those functions in on my
/etc/inc/system.inc
and that removes the need to apply that patch that removes the dns check function from being triggered and it also appears to fix the issue elsewhere. I updated the github issue to reflect that it looks like at least those two functions needing to be added to the patched version that gets applied for the pfsense API. -
If someone really does want a patch file that can be applied to an already patched
system.inc
, here is the patch. I would only use this for pfsense 2.6.0 after the v1.3.3 pfsense api package has been installed:--- /etc/inc/system.inc.orig 2022-02-18 08:36:30.894924000 -0500 +++ /etc/inc/system.inc 2022-02-18 03:21:44.667401000 -0500 @@ -2704,4 +2704,52 @@ return $arp_table; } +function _getHostName($mac, $ip) { + global $dhcpmac, $dhcpip; + + if ($dhcpmac[$mac]) { + return $dhcpmac[$mac]; + } else if ($dhcpip[$ip]) { + return $dhcpip[$ip]; + } else { + $ipproto = (is_ipaddrv4($ip)) ?

There are no guarantees that this covers everything that is different and there may be other things different that are not covered by this patch that could cause problems. As always, make sure you have a backup!
-
@mbentley I resorted to restoring 2.5.2 from USB image and restoring that respective backup config. Is this something that you would suggest waiting until another release to fix?
-
@camelsaq - It's hard to say. I haven't done an extensive testing of the pfsense API package besides verifying I could create and delete static DHCP configs via API (that's my main use case). I will say that it does look like there are a number of differences from 2.5.2 and 2.6.0 in the
system.inc
file so using the current pfsense api v1.3.3 might cause unexpected behaviors.I haven't looked at this diff between 2.6.0 and 2.5.2 to see if all of these might be able to be applied cleanly but just to show you the magnitude of the changes for the original
system.inc

Honestly if you're already back up and running fine on 2.5.2, I would just wait until there is a new release of the pfsense api package for the 2.6.0 release if you depend on it's functionality but that is my opinion from just a user of the package.
-
pfSense API package, what is that ?
Some day there will be one ..... in a decade, maybe ;)During upgrades, most of not all "pfSense" core files are plain overwritten.
The pfSense GUI is mostly (very) 'old school' PHP (don't misunderstand : I love it, Perl is not my thing - PHP is soooooo easily readeable) . No university eduction needed to "copy this" ( and use "find here" so you can see in one glance where the function is used, and that it is defined in /etc/inc/system.inc - line 2816.
Compare your /etc/inc/system.inc with the github source repository. Remember, this is quasi open source : you have access to the original "should work" source code, as it was used to make pfSense version 2.6.0 - and the same code on your system.
So, compare, conclude, act and done.edit : in the future, you should select the branch used to build your pfSEnse version. The files in the main repository are live == altered as development continues. Right now, this isn't the case, as 2.6.0 came out just a couple of days ago.
You will probably find that your system.inc is different / broken / rubbish / whatever.
Conclusion : "something" went very wrong during an update.
Or, if your young : this is the first time a (hard) disk died on you : welcome to the club.Good news : (re) installing pfSense is a easy.
Don't try to repair /etc/inc/system.inc, it's not worth it, as any other files could have been altered to. -
@gertjan We are talking about https://github.com/jaredhendrickson13/pfsense-api as that is probably where the file is being modified from to specifically see this behavior, at least it was in my case - unsure about everyone else. I understand the update process and files being overwritten. The pfsense-api package also replaces the
system.inc
file with a custom one to support the package. Replacing the file from source would break the pfsense-api package which is not what is wanted here.So it is likely that nothing went wrong during upgrade, the pfsense-api package hasn't included all of the changes since 2.6.0 was released as I am pretty sure the 2.6.0 package was just sort of a best effort, built for 2.6.0 package that wasn't really fully vetted.

Dono who or what that is.
That is not a Netgate Official source. Just some guy who tries to implement an "Rest API" (good initiative btw, but it will take him years if he works 24/24h on it).Now I fully understand the why part of the issue.
https://github.com/jaredhendrickson13/pfsense-api/issues/199What I don't understand : if you install and use a native - non modified - pfSense, the issue doesn't exist.
When you install X, pfSense breaks.
My advise will be : repair X, or don't use it. -
@gertjan although I did have that api package installed, I received the error from outside of the API and inside pfsense. In fact I couldn't even access DHCP services under that menu with similar errors.
I also uninstalled the API before reverting and still received error above
-
@camelsaq So did you upgrade pfsense with the API installed the pfsense-api package and still received the error? If so, I am guessing that it would be because of how the install and removal functions - looks like it takes a backup of the original on install and on removal of the package, it copies it back which would align with your experience as it would be putting back the 2.5.2 file on top of 2.6.0 if I understand the process.
-
@mbentley yes when I upgraded to 2.6 the API was installed.
-
@mbentley when I reverted I did a factory reset back to the USB image. When restoring config backup from before I upgraded to 2.6 this did have the API and possibly had some API stuff in it. I did not receive error on 2.5.2 after restoring config, but did need to install the API back in order to get that working again.
Thanks so much for the insights here.
-
@camelsaq Sure thing - helpful to get your experience to see how it aligns with mine. Upon closer inspection, I see that there isn't an override file specific for 2.6.0 yet which I missed when installing the 2.6.0 pfsense-api package which explains why it uses what is the default "older" version of of the
system.inc
file:pkg add https://github.com/jaredhendrickson13/pfsense-api/releases/download/v1.3.3/pfSense-2.6-pkg-API.txz && /etc/rc.restart_webgui Fetching pfSense-2.6-pkg-API.txz: 100% 230 KiB 235.2kB/s 00:01 Installing pfSense-pkg-API-1.3_3...

So yeah, that aligns a bit more with staying on 2.5.2 if you need a functional pfsense-api package without hacking it.

At that comment, you have the original /etc/inc/system.inc
If this file is broken, or or does't contain what it should contain, your pfSense wouldn't even boot up. Ir's pretty critical.Also, the function "check_dnsavailable" was added in 2.6.0 - and used since then in several other places. The API software changes core files on a pfSense ? ( ?? ! ???? ) I tend to say that you are not using pfSense any more.
So why even considering posting question here ;))Be careful, guys, when you use an external piece of software not written for the current pfSense software, you have a shoot in the foot situation.
This is valid for pfSense packages, and everything else.Edit : the subject of this thread is wrong - please edit it.
pfSense 2.6.0 didn't crash.
This is a "don't do this" issue that didn't end well.
Happens.
Tried X - X didn't work out. Ditched X for the time being. NeXt. -
@mbentley I removed the pfsense-api package for now and all works fine again after rebooting.
Hope there will come a patch on the pfsense-api side since I started to like pfsense even more when able to use API commands.. Else maybe consider something else which does support API natively.
-
@lizznl good to hear. For some reason I did not reboot after I removed API package and instead reverted pfsense version. May try to upgrade again and uninstall API first.
