Hello, Friends

After upgrading to 23.01 a crash message is showed when I access the webGUI. Any idea about how to fix this?

Crash report begins. Anonymous machine information:

I have same error, boot failed after update, and I had to restore using boot environment snapshot.

@vinski When I upgraded to 22.05 the same error happened. I don´t remember what a I did that time.

yaw

Are you able to add/remove the squidguard package, or do you receive the same error I posted about here.

hugoeyng

@yaw I tried to remove and add squidguard and did not work.

I tried to stop squid and then remove and add squidguard. Did not work.

SquidGuard appears as installed at "Installed Packages" but do not appear in "Services". Ok, it is not running, but it could appear in "Services" even as "not running".

It seems to be something to do with permissios to delete or replace a file. I am not sure.

The same error happens when I reinstall or install SquidGuard.

@hugoeyng yeah, I don't know what the issue is. I think it's something to do with the PHP upgrade. Probably need the squidguard package maintainer to look at it.

hugoeyng

@yaw I noticed, readind anothers topics, that pfBlocker, Snort and some others are affected in the same way.

Could this be a PHP bug?

Not sure.. probably need to open a new bug for squidguard on redmine. I tried creating an account this evening, but I'm having issues with the confirmation email.

Edit: I opened a new bug report on redmine. Maybe that will help get some attention on this issue.

hugoeyng

@matyi-szabolcs I don't think It os a PHP bug. It seems, to me, one from this:

some type pra funtion that the current verison of PHP does not support
the installattion/updating process conflicts with some other running process that is using the resource/file.

JonathanLee

@hugoeyng I have the same issue, when ever I try to save the Squid configuration it give this error.

JonathanLee

@yaw I have removed and reinstalled as soon as you save the configuration it fails

JonathanLee

@yaw

I have the same issue with I save Squid config changes. Thanks for opening the redmine ticket. Everything works until I save the proxy config

PHP_errors.txt

JonathanLee

@yaw should I open a pfSense ticket and reinstall from a USB or will this result in the same issue?

(Image: error when you try to save the Squid config changes)

yaw

@jonathanlee I don't think reinstalling from USB will help. I think the developers are going to need to fix this and update the squid and squidguard packages. You can try opening a ticket if you have a support agreement.

JonathanLee

@yaw I opened a TAC ticket with Netgate. I cannot do a reinstall right now, my family will be mad at me.

https://forum.netgate.com/topic/178036/23-01-squid-issue/3?_=1676773067228

I have a thread open also same issue.

TAC had me perform a BareMetal install via USB drive and reinstall the configuration after, and it cleared up a lot of my issues. The in-place upgrade did not fully install from what their team said last night, it never fully completed.

With the fresh install it is working fine for now.

hugoeyng

@jonathanlee When I open the webGUI a warning message, about the crash error, is showed to me.

And if I try to reinstall the Squid Proxy Filter the crash error message is showed in the "installation progress box"

JonathanLee

@hugoeyng do you have the error? I had to resave reverse proxy because it was blank before the update and save the config as that was missing for me, after update it.
