No web gui after updating 24.03

@rbron01 do you show your webgui even running?

[23.09.1-RELEASE][admin@sg4860.home.arpa]/root: netstat -an | grep .8443

[23.09.1-RELEASE][admin@sg4860.home.arpa]/root:

Mine listens on 8443.. Since you reset to 80 you should see it listening on 80

you should see nginx running on your port

@johnpoz
Got the same but then with port 80

johnpoz

@rbron01 you don't have the antilock out rule disabled do you and some rule that would block? Or didn't put the blockrfc/bogon on your lan interface?

When your consoled/ssh in, if you run a curl to say loopback, do you get the page?

curl http://127.0.0.1

if I tell curl to just don't care about trusting the ssl, i get this for example

[23.09.1-RELEASE][admin@sg4860.home.arpa]/root: curl --insecure https://127.0.0.1:8443

If that is working, that says hey httpd is serving up the page, but for some reason your client is not getting there, it for sure is listening for example.

@johnpoz
I get a page back. However when I connect direct a laptop on the port nothing happens only the timeout

johnpoz

@rbron01 hmmm that really points to a problem with rules then.. If you try your IP in that curl command you still get a page right..

For grins I would change the state to floating mode vs interface binding. And you have not rules in floating, and lan rules are just the the default any any?

When you connect a laptop to the port, you get an IP right, your not doing anything with vlans were your tagging stuff. You can ping through on the laptop to the internet, you can ping your lan IP, that sort of thing.

rbron01

@johnpoz

When i do curl http://10.10.1.1 it comes up with the page

I do not have vlan or taggings.
No rules in floating but I have rules on LAN but these are the std blocking stuff between different networks. I have WAN, LAN and IOT.

Tomorrow I will do some more testing now going to bed :)

I will role it back and make a screenshot of the LAN rules for you.
Anything else you may want to have a screenshot off?

Thanks for your great help :)

Wouldn't matter if you had zero rules - as long as you didn't disable the antilock out rule you should be able to get to the gui, you didn't turn that off did you? Please post the rules on your lan.. For example here is mine.

And you have no rules in floating tab?

wisepds

@planetinse That's exactly my case...al working.. update.. no GUI but all working hehehe

Ah yeah kind of hard to do a screenshot of the rules without a gui ;) doh!!

Do you have this rule?

[23.09.1-RELEASE][admin@sg4860.home.arpa]/root: cat /tmp/rules.debug | grep anti-
pass in  quick on igb0 proto tcp from any to (igb0) port { 8443 22 } ridentifier 10001 keep state label "anti-lockout rule"
[23.09.1-RELEASE][admin@sg4860.home.arpa]/root:

This is the rule that should allow you to access the gui, it should list the ports no matter your other rules.

You can look at your rules without a gui by looking in that /tmp/rules.debug file.. I would ask you to upload the file - but you might want to walk through it before you do - because it could have your public IP in it.

@johnpoz

Hi the strange thing is I have a powerline network when I plug this one from the ISP to my LAN port everything works as expected.

The powerline has WLan power and hangs as a "Dirty Internet" line.

The rule is in place.

What? Oh your sure your interfaces didn't switch? You saying when you put your internet into what you believe is the lan, it works.. That says your wan is your lan and your lan is your wan.

I would validate with say looking at the menu that the correct interfaces are assigned to what they should be assigned too.

You could do that with ifconfig, or just the pfsense menu should show you what interface is assigned to what.. So your previous wan wasn't getting dhcp either from your wan?

This is VM - yeah that can happen where the interface order changes.

lohphat

@rbron01

Same thing happened. No WebUI and no DNS.

I had to revert to a backup config made right before the upgrade and reboot. WebUI and DNS came back.

johnpoz

@lohphat Are you also running on a VM?

lohphat

@johnpoz Negative. SG-3100

johnpoz

@lohphat I would do the same sort of testing, is nginx running even can you call it up on pfsense locally via loopback and IP your trying to hit.

Not aware of your config - but some issues being run into with the new interface binding for states vs floating. You could try changing it to floating, and then figure out what your doing that interface binding isn't working.

Confirmed that I have the anti-lockout rule:

cat /tmp/rules.debug | grep anti-

pass in quick on mvneta1 proto tcp from any to (mvneta1) port { 443 80 } ridentifier 10001 keep state label "anti-lockout rule"

4eanlss

@johnpoz Yes. It resolves to my ISPs LiteBeam 5AC Gen2

Even disabling the firewall does not resolve the web gui.
Still get either 301 Moved Permanently for port 80 or no response on port 8443.

Tried restarting the GUI -- nothing.
Considering reloading the config from just before the upgrade.

4eanlss

How to change state binding back to float from console via shell?

4eanlss

@4eanlss BTW: I also realized what was meant by try the WAN interface address.

From shell temporarily disabled PF: pfctl -d
launch browser to WAN IP
Accept the warning about certificate i.e. https workds
However, still receive a blank page.
