      Really hard to read that and know for sure. A screenshot would be better.

      But... that looks OK as far as I can see.

        I am unable to upgrade from 2.7.0. Running 'certctl rehash' has not resolved anything for me. Update system log:

          Try running the upgrade from the actual command line with:
          pfSense-upgrade -d

          That will show you more useful error output.

            @stephenw10 Hi Stephen, yes I agree, hard to read, but I have been unsuccessful at uploading screenshots to this interface. I can run pfSense pretty well, and I think I will find my problem, I always have so far, but this interface is a little cumbersome.

            So what image formats does this interface accept? Cut and paste certainly does not work, and I think I failed at trying to get png from a screenshot to upload. Please excuse me while I unzip my ignorance.

            After all the years of posting here you'd think I'd have figured this out.

            Roy

              Hmm, just accepts most things I try (png, jpeg) but the rules could be more relaxed for admin users.

              If not though you can always link to an image somewhere else.

              Or alternatively show the outbound NAT rules from the /tmp/rules.debug file like:

              # Outbound NAT rules (manual)
              nat on $WAN inet proto { tcp udp } from 192.168.54.0/24 to any -> 172.21.16.22/32 port 1024:65535  # Test
              
              # Outbound NAT rules (automatic)
              
              # Subnets to NAT 
              table <tonatsubnets> { 127.0.0.0/8 ::1/128 192.168.22.0/24 172.25.10.0/24 192.168.251.0/25 }
              nat on $WAN inet from <tonatsubnets> to any port 500 -> 172.21.16.22/32  static-port
              nat on $WAN inet6 from <tonatsubnets> to any port 500 -> (em0)  static-port
              nat on $WAN inet from <tonatsubnets> to any -> 172.21.16.22/32 port 1024:65535 
              nat on $WAN inet6 from <tonatsubnets> to any -> (em0) port 1024:65535

                @reberhar copy/paste may need a certain number of upvotes? Stuff like changing signature does.

                Pre-2.7.2/23.09: Only install packages for your version, or risk breaking it. Select your branch in System/Update/Update Settings.
                When upgrading, allow 10-15 minutes to restart, or more depending on packages and device speed.

                  @SteveITS Link then ... I can understand why you might want to do that.

                  I have forum entries on different platforms. I just haven't spent enough time helping these good folks. I remember how confusing it was at first. Yet, pfSense has been worth the struggle. Now I watch the people I supervise struggle, but that's ok. Productive failures are good teachers.

                  Thanks for your help.

                    I always paste the screen shot into a paint program, clip / redact as required, save as a jpeg, then in the forum click on the picture icon to upload

                        That is much more useful as real txt. I restored it back to that.

                        Ok so it looks like that lib error is the source of your problems there. Everything after that is caused by it. Do this.

                        Set the update branch back to 2.7.0 in System > Updates > Update Settings.

                        Then at the command line run: pkg-static upgrade pkg

                        That will force pkg to downgrade back to the 2.7.0 version along with the cryptolib.

                        Once there make sure pkg-static -d update works.

                        Now try setting the branch back to 2.7.1 and upgrading again.

                            You set the branch to 2.7.0 first?

                            Oh you might need to run pfSense-repo-setup

                                Might be easiest/quickest.

                                What does cat /etc/platform show?

                                If that doesn't show pfSense you can try setting it to that.

                                You could also try: pfSense-repoc-static

                                    Hmm, I'd love to know how it's got into that state but installing 2.7.1 directly and restoring the config is going to be the fastest way back I think. If you're able to do that.

                                      I will rebuild (already have 2.71 downloaded). I can tell you the steps I took to see if that sheds any light for you. Everything was working well prior to attempting the upgrade. Before I attempted the 2.7.1 upgrade, I updated all the packages that showed they were out of date. That included:

                                      nmap
                                      openvpn-clinet-export
                                      pfBlockerNG
                                      snort
                                      LightSquid

                                      after the upgrades, I attempted the 2.7.1 upgrade and it failed just like you've seen above, but then I started getting a bunch of php failures (specifically having to do with the LightSquid package). It seemed like one of the package upgrades impacted the php install and caused all of the problems we're seeing now. At least that is what it appears like to me. Thank you for your assistance.

                                        That will break things, never do that. See my sig. Uninstall packages as suggested per the upgrade guide, or just upgrade and the upgrade will uninstall/reinstall for you.

                                            @Patch Thanks Patch ... I will try that. It has been somewhat frustrating to get some images placed on this site. If necessary I will just past a link.
