      Hm. No, that config wouldn't restore in a vm as well :(
      I also tested older configs from october. Same error, everytime…
      Tried with aliases and nat section. Does not work. Does this restore of some actually work for you in newer builds? Perhaps nobody tried to restore just a part of the config?

        The partial restore doesn't seek out portions of a whole config, you have to edit out the part you want. For example, to restore DHCP settings, you need to cut the <dhcpd>…</dhcpd> section out into a separate file, and then pick that file along with choosing the DHCP server settings from the drop-down.

            Thanks jimp! That works! Man I could have searched a long time. Perhaps you should add a comment on the restore page so that everyone knows about this…

            Or am I the only one who didn't know how it's suppose to work? ;)

              @ermal:

              Try this manually

              or wait for a snapshot with the patch applied.

              I just had this error while updating my config. Applied this manually and it works. Will check if it reached the newest snap yet…

                Ok the fix is in the newest snap, but there seems to be a problem. Each time I reboot my Alix I get the same error as I posted in the beginning of this thread. I then need to ssh into my box do a killall mpd5. Then I have to go into the WebUI to my WAN interface, set a 0 into the idle timeout field and click save. Is this actually also a bug that I have to put in the zero everytime again? It does not get saved somehow…

                After these steps my connections stays online until the next reboot...

                  So, are you saying that you have the "Dial on Demand" checkbox checked? Do you really need Dial on Demand?

                    Yes, that box is checked. I want my line to be up and running all the time…

                      Well, two points.

                      First if you you want your line up and running all the time, you need to uncheck that box. That box is supposed to bring the line down when no outgoing traffic is detected after "Idle timeout" time has elapsed.

                      Second, checking that box is likely what has caused all your problems. That options invokes some pretty complex code that apparently still isn't stable. (re: linked redmine issues)

                        If thats is the intended function of dial on demand the the wording of setting it to zero should be remove and replace with untick for always on connection would clear up some confusion

                              This is a clean install using a config that was running on a nanobsd snapshot from about a week ago. I'm getting errors similar to the OP. I don't have, and never did have the dial on demand box checked. If I click the Connect button on Status: Interfaces, it connects within seconds, but never automatically after a reboot.

                                Try with the most current snapshot, the one just uploaded. IIRC some fixes happened after the snapshot you're on but a new snap hadn't been generated since last night/this morning.

                                    Actually I tried again, because I needed to reboot. (Still the Internal Server Error after installing avahi package)

                                      I updated 8 hours ago and still had to hit the Connect button to get a WAN.

                                        Same problem here with newest snap of 12/26…
                                        But if I wait long enough pfSense connects by itself after 3-4 minutes...
