      I did. Looks like maybe a rebuild is in order?

        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 Before I attempted the 2.7.1 upgrade, I updated all the packages that showed they were out of date.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.

                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.

                    @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.

                      @stephenw10 Hi Stephen,

                      So my update problem with my secondary servers appears to be DNS. In the unbound DNS resolver, If I include either WAN or localhost in the outgoing DNS window I get resolution on my secondary. I am including localhost. I had already included localhost in the Interfaces window, as per normal in my understanding, unless of course I got them reversed. pfBlockers windows tend to confuse the isse. I always thought that for the firewall to be able to access the Internet I need to put localhost in Network interfaces. Now I am wondering if I got them switched, that is if I need to put localhost in the outgoing window instead. As localhost is not an Internet port I am a little confused as to what is happening.

                      I have to think about this for a little while, run some tests, reresarch it, and understand it. Understanding is important. Just enabling things because they work is not recommended procedure.

                      Of course your wise input is always appreciated.

                      Roy

                        What did you have selected for outgoing interfaces when it was failing?

                          @stephenw10 Just the virtual wan ip. I did the same thing for Squid.

                          I just did the Squid change recently. Squid is supposed to turn itself off anyway, so I don't really know if the vip is necessary there. Maybe not on the DNS resolver either. Of course we want DNS to work on the secondary unit.

                          I think I just chose those in each of those spots because it seemed appropriate. There is not much posted on using the vip in those packages. I just remember bbcan posting how to setup pfblocker on an early post including suggestions for the DNS resolver. But of course he didn't design pfBlocker for HA although there is a place for a VIP. On some of my equipment I have not been able to use that function. It does not function as expected. On those boxes I had problems with flooding when I tried the VIP on pfblocker. It is a very complex setup though with 4 heads. When I have a chance I will work it out the problems on the 12 to 5 shift.

                          That being said, I am grateful for bbcan's contribution. pfBlocker is an extremely useful package and I am glad for it and his efforts to maintain it.

                          Right now I just want to work on the appropriate DNS setting regardless of what any post might say.

                          Thanks for your suggestions.

                            Ah, well that would explain it. The WAN CARP VIP is only ever valid on the master node so a backup node could not use that to send DNS queries.

                              @stephenw10 Yes of course.

                              So should I include the wan and/or the localhost? I am assuming the wan.

                                It could be either. If you only have one WAN it doesn't really matter. Using localhost as source allows Unbound to use any interface as long NAT rules exist on it (and not to a CARP VIP!).

                                  @stephenw10 localhost then. I didn't think about localhost being connected to all the wans.

                                  Thanks,

                                    @reberhar Thanks again Stephen,

                                    It was still a long night fixing these problems at then ends of all my tunnels. The DNS being wrong and the updates being out of sync caused me several unexpected and unanticipated problems with one the pfSense secondary servers, including some certificate errors that the rehash couldn't fix. Some of the udates were interrupted because of the way I had done the DNS and me switching CARP states. I had to wait for the update certificates on the update server to time out. On these distant units I need to be more patient and give time for updates to finish. The latency and the tunnels can cause the update feedback to be lost, eventhough pfSense is still faithfully working along. A server can return, even after a very long wait.

                                    This faithfulness and solidness of pfSense and FreeBSD has always impressed me. The programming must be quite awesome.

                                    Thanks for your help and patience. Would I have figured it out alone? Yes I thinks so, but it is such a help to be able to ask. Research and trial and error work, but it is time consuming. Getting help on key points, however seemingly simple can be a big boost.

                                    Thanks so much. You guys are really great.

                                      @reberhar Hi guys, there is still another issue I am researching.

                                      Automatic backup does not show any items in the list, although they appear when I put the key in other installation.

                                      The following error is from a manual backup, not cron.

                                      An error occurred while uploading the encrypted pfSense configuration to https://acb.netgate.com/save (Failed to connect to acb.netgate.com port 443 after 10108 ms: Couldn't connect to server) @ 2023-12-02 13:20:01

                                      The machine in not able to fetch the repo.

                                      pfSense-repoc: failed to fetch the repo data

                                      The only repo that is available is 2.7.1 and that is selected.

                                      DNS works from the gui and the command line, that is nslookup resolves.

                                      ping fails of acb.netgate.com and at the command line it says ...

                                      Thanks for any help you can offer.

                                        ping: sendto: Permission denied

                                        That implies something locally blocking access. Do you have Snort or Suricata installed with blocking enabled?

                                          @stephenw10 Gosh I should have thought of that. Working late can fry the brain I guess. Lots of little problems too.

                                          Old chinese proverb says, "Many hands make light work."

                                          It was blocked, now I just have to disable the rule that is doing it.

                                          It was complaining of a bad checksum ... hmmm, maybe something to do with the virtual machine or hardware.

                                          Thanks again! I wish I could send you something for Xmas.

                                          Yes things seem to be working now.

                                          Thanks Steve

                                            I was stuck on 2.7.0 with no packages in package manager after a downgrade to 2.7.0 from the Plus version.
                                            I used ssh and ran the certctl rehash command and was able to upgrade to 2.7.2, and all the packages came with it!
                                            Thanks, Steve.
