      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?

          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.

                    I tried option Update from console:

                        @4eanlss said in SG-3100 upgrade from 23.09 to 24.03 - 2 issues:

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

                        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.
