XG-1541 broken after upgrade to 22.05

@getcom Three seems high for one router, but if you're a partner maybe you mean across all routers? I do not remember the OS versions off the top of my head but 2.4 to 23.01 is probably multiple FreeBSD versions.

re: the PHP error, does it recur after restarting pfSense again? I seem to recall some Netgate posts about ignoring PHP errors on the first restart, or especially during the upgrade since those are expected as PHP is upgraded and packages are reinstalled.

"Uncaught TypeError: Cannot access offset of type string on string" is showing up a lot on the forums lately due to the change to PHP 8, and old code that doesn't work in PHP 8. If you install the System Patches package there are quite a lot of patches available already.

Restarting or reinstalling pfblockerNG does not change anything.
After deleting pfblockerNG and installing pfblockerNG-devel the error messages related to pfblockerNG are gone.
As I know the code base of both versions should be identical now.
Why I got this behavior with the pfblockerNG version and not with the pfblockerNG-devel version?
I assume that if the system is upgrated, up & running, every package which will then be automatically or manually installed will have the correct PHP version, or I'm wrong?

@steveits : "Three times" means overall of all routers in seven years beginning with pfSense 2.2.6, but surprisingly it is the second time for this system...
Does it makes sense to install every available patch in "System => Patches", or only if I identify a current problem in the description of a specific patch?

@getcom Up to you. Usually I’ve just installed as needed but there are a huge number for 23.01 and a shiny new apply all button so…

stephenw10

Yes, all of those patches are in 23.05 and well tested. I would also just apply all of them.

Today I checked this box again because of the 23.05 update and got this:

There was no hardware change on this box which means I have no clue why the Netgate ID should have been changed.
I assume it has not been changed and this a bug. Can you fix this in your database?

Please send me the NDI and serial from that box in chat and I'll look into it.

Thank you.

Would it be too much to ask you to drop a link to these posts (our devices with new NDIs that need Repo access) to the internal tracking doc? 10337 IIRC.

@rcoleman-netgate Done

@stephenw10 Thank you. I know I have eyes on it now... but every entry helps.
