      The Net Installer does not support the 3100 so just open a support ticket as previously. You do not need to have support to get recovery images.

        I've been doing a lot of debugging and learning; however, I've never been able to get my SG-3100 web GUI to work.
        I've 'run recovery' from provided pfSense-plus-Netgate-3100-recovery-24.03-RELEASE-armv7.img

        I can ssh and have confirmed there are no errors in /var/log/nginx/error.log.
        nginx -t reports syntax is okay and test is successful.

        Confirmed the anti-lockout rule exists.

        Web GUI is always blank.
        telnet show that the nginx server is responding when given a bad request.

        Tried switching the interface to port 80 instead of 443; however, that resulted in no http response.

        cat /var/log/system.log shows various pids with:
        pfSense kernel: pid 38541 (pkg-static), jid 0, uid 0: exited on signal 11 (core dumped)

        Is the only option left to assume a bad configuration exists?
        Is 'Reset to factory defaults' the only solution?

        Thank you in advance.

          Can we assume that initially after a clean re-install the gui is accessible as expected?

          Do you have any packages in your config? Which ones?

            No

            Do you have any packages in your config? Which ones?

            pfBlockerNG-devel, nut, System Patches

              Ok if the gui is not accessible after a clean install, before your config has been restored, then check for a subnet conflict between the default LAN (192.168.1.1) and whatever the WAN might be connected to.

                WAN: DCHP
                LAN: 192.168.0.1
                OPT: 192.168.1.1 (not used)

                Router otherwise working.
                Should I just comment out the packages one at a time?

                  I've tried upgradeconfig.
                  I've stopped the 3 (all) services: nut, pfb_dnsbl, pfb_filter; and, then have Restart PHP-FPM and Restart GUI. Still no web-gui.

                    More specifically:
                    WAN (wan) -> mvneta2 -> v4/DHCP4: 192.168.10.129/24
                    LAN (lan) -> mvneta1 -> v4: 192.168.0.1/24
                    OPT1 (opt1) -> mvneta0 -> v4: 192.168.1.1/24

                      Also, Filter Logs has confirmed that WebGui traffic is not being blocked from the client; it is being passed from client IP address to 192.168.0.1.

                            You shouldn't have any packages installed after a clean install. That would only happen after restoring your config.

                            So it is accessible after a clean install? Or is it only an issue after restoring your config?

                              Thanks for you help; however, at this point with the number of hours I have invested in trying to restore this 3100 I could have purchased two appliances. I'm typically not one to give it; however, I've come to the conclusion that the 24.03 software is not compatible with the SG-3100.

                              I've tried strategically removing packages from the config.xml with no success with run recovery.
                              I've tried with no config.xml on the recovery USB and still no web GUI -- always the same result.
                              I've tried resetting to factory defaults -- the same result -- there are two processes which always seg fault and a error about not being able to detect pfsense version. Never get a web gui either http or https.

                              If there was an option to get version 23.09 with a TAC ticket maybe I'd have a shot at getting this device working -- it was the last known working version.

                              I'm planning on purchasing a new device to save time and hassle.

                                You can ask TAC for the 23.09.1 recovery image.

                                I've been running 24.03 on a 3100 as my edge here since it we started tested it and it's been generally fine.
