Error after package update
-
Just updated a number of packages on my pfSense where pfBlockerNG-Dev is one of them. After updating them the GUI stopped working. The crash report from the GUI gives me the following information which points at pfBlocker:
[04-Jan-2025 16:38:29 Europe/Stockholm] PHP Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function config_read_file() in /usr/local/pkg/pfblockerng/pfblockerng.inc:693 Stack trace: #0 /usr/local/pkg/pfblockerng/pfblockerng.inc(826): pfb_global() #1 /usr/local/www/widgets/widgets/pfblockerng.widget.php(36): require_once('/usr/local/pkg/...') #2 /usr/local/www/index.php(539): include('/usr/local/www/...') #3 {main} thrown in /usr/local/pkg/pfblockerng/pfblockerng.inc on line 693When reading the update log I see an error listed at the end of the update which also makes me beleve that pfBlocker has something to do with the issue I'm seeing:

I only have cli access at the moment. Tried to restore a backup from the main menu but it hags. I have config backups uploaded to the builtin Netgate cloud service if that helps. Can I restore them manually from cli?
Thanks!

Small update, when trying to restore an old configuration from cli I get the following error message:
Enter an option: 15 <pre style="white-space: pre-wrap;">PHP ERROR: Type: 1, File: /etc/inc/xmlparse.inc, Line: 133, Message: Maximum execution time of 900 seconds exceeded</pre>PC Engines APU2 Platform ("apu4" model) - Netgate Device ID: ********************* -
I ended up with reinstalling the box and then restoring an old backup to get everything up and running again. Do love the auto backup feature available in pfSense

Just to ask, did you have the 24.03 update branch selected when you updated packages? If you were set to 24.11 for example it would install the wrong package and could break pfSense.
Since you have Plus, if you had made a boot environment before the package updates that can be reverted at the loader menu:
https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/backup/zfsbe/loader.html
(if that would work in your situation)or a fallback via https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/backup/zfsbe/tips.html
I'm not in the habit yet of making a boot env. before package updates but I guess that's not a bad idea!
Packages can be manually reinstalled at the command line: https://forum.netgate.com/topic/176044/force-reinstall-of-packages-os-from-the-command-line/2

@elexir said in Error after package update:
pfBlockerNG-Dev
The latest version, or development version, is written with the latest version of pfSense in mind.
That not 24.03, but 24.11.
Next time : always start by checking what the latest pfSense version is and if needed, update pfSense first.
Then, start to think about upgrading packages. -
