Help with error (racoon.conf:2: "500" parse error)

hoba

Are you already running one of the latest snapshots? Which version is this? (please include version and build date from status>system)

artifact

Name pfsense
Version 1.0.1
built on Sun Oct 29 01:07:16 UTC 2006
Platform pfSense

P.s I tried to backup settings, then reset factory defaults, then back. Result the same.

sullrich

Have you set a failover ipsec option by chance?

artifact

Yes i set once, but then i emptied this field and save. That is the problem? And how to solve that? It was empty before and now, but maybe something has left in configuration?

:)

Double check that the field really is empty and not a space, etc.

artifact

I am shure that this field is empty. Could it be so, i pressed on empty Failover IP SAVE button, and by that moment ipsec sopped? It seems so.

sullrich

Try setting your WANIP in this box and see if it goes away. It may be a problem of us clearing the item. Also, try this from a shell and let me know what it says:

cat /cf/conf/config.xml | grep failoverip

hoba

In case the IP is not cleared download your config.xml from diagnostics>backup/restore, manually remove the item and upload it again. But first Do what Scott asked for please.

artifact

Ok,

Ill checked WAN ip, and there ir everything ok.

Same over here. I am to dumb to get IPsec to work… :-[

I got some Firewall block messages from TCP Port 500 in the logs.
My static site is really knocked down on ports - do I have to open up something special here?

Needless to say, the tunnel is not coming up and I cannot ping a host on the other side.
Both pfSenses are 1.0.1 Snapshot 2006-DEC-23 with PPPoE ADSL.
Office has a static IP, home a dynamic one. NO SAD or SPD entries on static side and only SPD on dynamic end where I also get this:

Diagnostics: System logs: IPSEC VPN
Jan 4 10:48:10 racoon: ERROR: fatal parse failure (1 errors)
Jan 4 10:48:10 racoon: ERROR: /var/etc/racoon.conf:2: "500" parse error

Does the "500" parse error relate to a port issue??

artifact

Ill try to reinstall pfsense. Maybe that helps.

jahonix

Any news here?

I still get the parse error and have no idea where to look.
Installation is vanilla 1.0.1 with current snapshot, 1.0.1-SNAPSHOT-12-28-2006, built on Thu Jan 4 13:07:12 EST 2007
I added squid, (freeradius…), NTP, nmap (...) and mc.

IPsec install was from Hoba's tutorial.
What firewall ruleset do you recommend for IPsec use? UDP 500 and EAP on WAN or gateway's LAN address?
That's not covered by the tutorial AFAIK.

Greatly appreciate your help!

artifact

I reinstalled all system and now its works. I think that's a bug.
