pfBlockerNG 3.1.0.4 - pfb_dnsbl & pfb_filter refusing to start

[ntorp41]

Hi,

I have had some troubles with pfBlockerNG-devel the last days.
None of the services will start.

I have taken backups, reinstalled the package, trying to configuring it from scratch and tried to reinstall the entire box with a config backup. Still, the issue persists.
I have a working secondary router with the same configuration as the one not starting services, everything is working fine on the secondary.

Any help or advice is welcome.
Let me know if you need me to post logs or something else.

Best Regards.

@ntorp41 So, are you saying that you enabled the package like this screen shot below and even rebooted pfSense yet it's not running? Whenever asking for help to diagnose problems with your network, provide as much info as possible, including logs and screen shots.

Hi,

That is exactly what i am saying.

I have done the following:
Reinstalled pfblockerng with and without a config backup, doesn't seem to matter.
Removed pfblockerng and unticked "Keep settings", rebooted pfsense and installed pfblockerng again, problem persists.
Reinstalled pfsense with a config.xml backup that did not contain the pfblockerng backup during installation, problem persists.

Right now, i am back to where i started, i have restored a config backup of the packages and im running pfblockerng without the services running, as i still "works" with populating unbound.

@ntorp41 Okay, so, did you removed keep setting, then delete pfBlockerNG package, reboot pfSense, then install fresh, new pfBlockerNG package?

Yes, that is one of the things i have tried. I stated all of the procedures in the previous post.

@ntorp41 Did you use the wizard when you reinstall? How is your drive space? Please check the logs, both the pfBlockerNG and the error logs as here:
