traffic_shaper_wizard_dedicated crash

jaltman

Version:

I selected all of the default values except specified the download and upload date rates to match the maximum supported by my ISP. When the last page was reached the wizard crashed.

Might be a variation of this issue:

https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/13915

You might be able to work around it by removing the <ezshaper>...</ezshaper> section from your config and then trying the wizard again.

@jimp I agree it looks like the same issue.
What is the best way to edit the configuration without using the wizard?

jimp

You can either download a config backup, edit it out, and restore, or if you are familiar with vi you can use viconfig from a console/ssh shell session. That's a bit more dangerous, though. Easy to make a wrong edit and break things.

jaltman

@jimp My apologies for my ignorance, but what is the path to the configuration via the shell?

jimp

/conf/config.xml

jaltman

@jimp unrelated to the traffic shaper wizard crash when I enter the shell there are recent core files in /root

-rw------- 1 root wheel 241942528 Feb 7 12:15 snort.core
-rw------- 1 root wheel 11517952 Feb 3 23:28 rate.core

which will be from a slightly earlier RC version. Do you want those?

jimp

No, they aren't likely to be helpful at this point.

@jimp after backing up and restoring the edited configuration the wizard succeeds.

However, two other problems occurred during the restore:

I use the 4100 igc3 as the WAN port since its 2.5 gbit/s. During the restore the WAN port was restored as igc0 which conflicted with the LAN port.
The acme certificate that was restored was not current. It was the first certificate that was obtained via acme. I had to manually request a new certificate which was successful. However, due to HTTP STS I couldn't successfully connect by hostname until the new cert was obtained.
