      Ruh roh.  Looks like the new miniupnpd binary has added a regression then.

        I'd say so. I loaded the old binary version back and the error is gone.

          Embedded users interested in this package have a look at http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,1788.msg13490.html#msg13490  :)

                From my post referenced above about adding miniupnpd on embedded.

                http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,1788.msg13498.html#msg13498

                Miniupnpd uses the miniupnp.sh script to start the service. This file contains your ip address and nic interface hardcoded. Not a big deal as the sync_package_miniupnpd() recreates it. However it doesn't seem to run this when syncing packages at startup. I looked in the code and it looks like the miniupnpd.xml file should have a custom_php_resync_config_command section which calles sync_package_miniupnpd(). I think the thought was that once its configured theres really no need to keep recreating the same startup file.

                Shouldn't the below be added to the miniupnpd.xml file so the package is resynced at startup. Wouldn't hardly add any extra time to boot and would insure the package is configured properly.

                <custom_php_resync_config_command>sync_package_miniupnpd();</custom_php_resync_config_command>

                I could be wrong but I looked into the pfsense-utils.inc file and don't see how this would get called without the above xml section.

                  Hmm I have the latest version with that has the custom_php_resync_config_command added in the xml file. I receive the following error.

                  Syncing packages:

                      Well were making progress. I figured it was something as simple as including a file. Although now it stops here.

                      Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /usr/local/pkg/miniupnpd.inc on line 28

                      foreach($_POST['interface_array'] as $iface) {

                      The issue is there is no post data. However it really comes down to an overthoght in the coding. Since the inferface_array is either pulled form the post data or the config. My thought is it should just read

                      foreach($interface_array as $iface) {

                      Since the if statement above is setting $interface_array = $_POST['interface_array']; it should still contain the array and properly go through each interface.

                      Also shouldn't the start_service("miniupnpd"); line be included in the if statment. If theres no interface array and no file is generated why should we start the service?

                      I'm going to make these changes on mine and see what happens. Will report back soon.

                        Alright with the above changes it works great now. No errors. I can see why pfSense takes so long to get to release 1.0. Lots of easily overlooked things that show up and to have to track them down and fix them all has go to be a major pain.

                          There is still a bug where it is resyncing packages twice causing issues. It you look at the log it takes longer for miniupnpd to exit than it does for the new one to start. Is there a way to make killall miniupnpd in the miniupnpd.sh file wait until it actually exits before proceeding?

                                I was wondering if you'd be willing to commit this to the miniupnpd.inc file. Instead of just waiting blindly it checks and loops until all the miniupnpd processes are killed. I have tested it and it works.

                                It counts the number of lines returned by ps relating to /usr/local/sbin/miniupnpd. If its not equal to 0 then we know miniupnpd is still running.

                                $start = "# Clear existing rules and rdr entries \n";
                                $start .= "/sbin/pfctl -aminiupnpd -Fr 2>&1 >/dev/null\n";
                                $start .= "/sbin/pfctl -aminiupnpd -Fn 2>&1 >/dev/null\n";
                                $start .= "/usr/bin/killall miniupnpd\n";
                                $start .= "while [ ps -A | grep /usr/local/sbin/miniupnpd | grep -v grep | wc -l != 0 ]; do sleep 1; done\n";
                                $start .= "/usr/local/sbin/miniupnpd -p 2869{$ifaces_final}";

                                  One more adition to miniupnpd.inc that I found usefull on mine. We only need to run the start_service command if the serivce is not running or if the user changes the settings.

                                  Othewise everytime the wan dhcp is updated the service is restarted. This is unecessary as only the wan interface NAME is used not the IP. For the -o override the ip is going to be static so it won't change. Plus it causes downtime with apps and game consoles, which can be bothersome.

                                  Also this speeds up the boot process as the service won't be restarted numerous times. It starts once and gets restarted once when the rc file is called.

                                  /* if not ONE instance running lets start /
                                  /
                                  or if $_POST data as user is changing settings */
                                  if((int)exec("ps -A | grep /usr/local/sbin/miniupnpd | grep -v grep | wc -l") != 1 || $_POST['interface_array']) {
                                  start_service("miniupnpd");
                                  }

                                  EDIT – I spoke to soon its still restarting when dhcp renewed. Wonder where it is getting called from? I'm using the following code

                                  /* if not ONE instance running lets start /
                                  /
                                  or if $_POST data as user is changing settings */
                                  if((int)exec("ps -A | grep /usr/local/sbin/miniupnpd | grep -v grep | wc -l") != 1 || $_POST['interface_array']) {
                                  log_error("miniupnpd resync package: start");
                                  start_service("miniupnpd");
                                  } else {
                                  log_error("miniupnpd resync package: none");
                                  }

                                  and am getting this in my log

                                  Oct 7 16:08:19 miniupnpd[4067]: Unknown soap method

                                  So I wonder where its getting called from. Reguardless it would've restarted twice instead of once without it
