Lemme guess… downgrade means I need to reinstall...
-
Somehow, trying to back out to 1.2.3rc1 (or eve 1.2.3rc3, which was running on this machine a couple days ago, same image) gives
"The uploaded image file is not for this platform (pfSense)."Sure was a few days ago…
So, do I need to now reinstall as if the machine never ran pfsense before? FreeBSD 7.2 seems to be bad news for me.

Re-install to downgrade is generally the only way to do it reliably, for any platform.

Generally in the past, you could downgrade successfully. We now have tighter checks on upgrade files that check a platform file that doesn't exist in older updates, to make sure you can't apply the wrong update. You can bypass that by editing /usr/local/www/system_firmware.php and removing these two lines:
if (file_is_for_platform($_FILES['ulfile']['tmp_name'], $_FILES['ulfile']['name']) == false && !$_POST['sig_override'])
$input_errors[] = "The uploaded image file is not for this platform ({$g['platform']}).";make sure you get a config backup before you downgrade and be ready to reinstall in the worst case.
