      Do you also use the pfSense development version (snapshot) of pfSense, as @Hirugoba ?
      Or the current 24.03 ?

      Didn't even know that pfBlockerNG 3.2.0_12 was out and available.
      Or is _12 for the dev version only ?

      My 24.03 (non dev !) says : your' up to date, and the version is :

      No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
      Edit : and where are the logs ??

        Eventually I did "factory reset" and after some poking around "/etc/inc/util.inc" error happened couple times more.

        Reinstalled appliance from image (24.03) and re-configured it manually (I mean not from back-up).

          @Gertjan Hello
          I have juste do a update the PFBlocker when I have see the button "Update" on the package manager for a version available....
          I don't know if it's a dev or release version...
          On my PFSense I am in 24.03 also but at one moment in june or may there is this package available... and after a lot of problems...
          Bug? Maybe ....

            AFAIK that would only ever have been available in 24.08-dev. If you somehow selected the dev branch and then didn't upgrade to 24.08 you might have seen the update the pfBlocker. If you then tried to upgrade to that without first upgrading to 24.08 it would probably have failed.
            If you are running ZFS I would roll back to the last good BE and upgrade again to 24.03 (if needed).

              For my part, I never use a dev version, only a stable.
              So for the probability of the selection of dev branch is very very low...

                Ok, thanks for the feedback.

                AFAIK, the pfSense Packet Manager offers today, for me pfBlockerng-devel version 3.2.0_10 - the _12 has not been released yet. It is in the works, though.

                If you remove / de install this _12 version and _12 is proposed upon install again, consider your system 'not well'.
                As stated above, as you have ZFS, roll back to a more stable situation - the real pfSense '24.03'.
                See it like this : you don't want Microsoft 11 updates if you have Windows 10 installed, that will break your system.

                No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
                Edit : and where are the logs ??

                  However low the probability that's the only explanation I can think of. However it was selected though if 3.2.0_12 was available then other, incompatible, pkgs likely were and could have been pulled in when you tried to update pfBlocker.

                      That's in a different function though, executing a command rather than creating config. Did it happen when you were doing something specific?

                        @stephenw10 Not really, actually after the crash php-fpm was going crazy and fully utilizing the CPU to 100% till i rebooted.
                        After that i removed pfblocker, and been working stable since then.

                          But but no changes preceding the crash?

                              Hmm, I can only assume it was part of pfBlockers auto-update process then. Is that set to run around that time?

                                Chiming in; I'm also getting same error in title on a 2100 after selecting to upgrade pfSenseBlockerNG to ver. 3.2.0_13

                                Eventually, I did a hard reset. I'm able to get back to the Setup Wizard. I removed packages for snort, wireguard, IPsec but removing blockerNG is a no-go.

                                Also I crashed with: 50x error

                                From package Manager, it hangs on 'reinstall BlockerNG' here:

                                  @Jericho46 said in "PHP Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 900 seconds exceeded in /etc/inc/util.inc on line 3728" after installing latest pfBlockerNG 3.2.0_12:

                                  Installed packages to be DOWNGRADED:
                                  pfSense-pkg-pfBlockerNG: 3.2.0_13 -> 3.2.0_10 [pfSense]

                                  Hmm, how did you get the _13 pkg version? Did you select 24.08-dev at some point?

                                  I would uninstall it entirely and then install it clean.

                                    @stephenw10 That version was available on my status page, and in Package manager, so I selected to (upgrade). That was super late Monday night / Tues after midnight. I usually check the status page every day and there was 4 or 5 updates that night, which is very unusual.

                                      Hmm that should never have been available in 24.03 AFAIK. 3.2.0_10 is current version of the package in 24.03.

                                      I would remove it entirely and then install it again clean.

                                          You also switched to 24.08?

                                          If so remove it. Switch the branch back to 24.03 and reinstall 3.2.0_10.
