      Hi folks,

      Today, I upgraded my pfSense to current version
      when I restoring my config xml file, it said some errors had been found on certain line.
      On that line, I found there were some error about xml tag, which were generated by my own vb program(I use it to generate my own static routes), for example <desc>test

      Now, I can't login WebUI, is there any suggestion?

      Also, I suggest to add validation function to the configuration restore page, which will prevent this kind of error in the future.

      Thanks</desc>

        Reinstall and restore the config again without those tags. Or you could go to the console and use vi to edit the config file and reboot.

            No, I am afraid not.
