      Troubleshooting guide:

      Some people have been having issues getting the package to run. Before you think you need to rebuild pfsense try a simple test first.
      Go to Firewall -> Rules and pick a random entry. Click the edit button. Don't make any changes! Now click save.
      Go back to your package. Click commit countries. Now Ensure Enable is checked and Click Save.

      It should be running now.

        Anybody seeing freezes in PFSense 2.0 when committing countries in Country Block???

        This is what occurs in the system logs

        After a reboot when WebGui freezes…..

          Furthermore after I reinstalled Country Block:

          Jan 24 09:07:57 php: /packages/countryblock/countryblock.php: The command 'rm -R /usr/local/www/packages/countryblock/lists' returned exit code '1', the output was 'rm: /usr/local/www/packages/countryblock/lists: No such file or directory'

          Despite seeing this in the logs, Country Block says it is running….

            BETA 2.0 is hard to work on. It's changing often and I don't have the resources right now to actively work on it. Someone was supposed to send me a laptop for completing a bounty but that never happened.

                pfsense 2.0

                when trying to start countryblock list it just sits there

                php: /packages/countryblock/countryblock.php: The command 'rm lists/temp' returned exit code '1', the output was 'rm: lists/temp: No such file or directory'

                php: /packages/countryblock/countryblock.php: The command 'sh execute.sh' returned exit code '1', the output was '0 table deleted. 98 17 rm: /tmp/rules.debug.tmp: No such file or directory rm: /tmp/rules.debug.tmp: No such file or directory 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 70 71 72 73 74 75 76 77 78 79 80 81 82 83 84 85 86 87 88 89 90 91 92 93 94 95 96 97 98 99 100 101 102 103 104 105 106 107 108 109 110 111 112 113 114 115 116 117 118 119 120 121 122 123 124 125 126 127 128 129 130 131 132 133 134 135 136 137 138 139 140 141 142 143 144 145 146 147 148 149 150 151 152 153 154 155 156 157 158 159 160 161 162 163 164 165 166 167 168 169 170 171 172 173 174 175 176 177 178 179 180 181 182 183 184 185 186 187 188 189 190 191 192 193 194 195 196 197 198 199 200 201 202 203 204 205'

                Tommy was just wondering could you split the update and start button so that once you download the ipblocklist and the Countryblock list and just need to  start the packages it wont connect to the list servers it will just start and use current list.

                  That's in my next version. I started working on that this weekend. Hopefully I will have the update out soon. I have BETA2.0 loaded on vmware server right now so development is running smoothly right now.

                    I have installed, uninstalled, rebooted, etc trying to get it to run. It cannot get the program to start on the  beta 2.0 latest version of the software. I am getting no error messages. It will simply not run. I have edited an item in the firewall rules then saved. I cant get it to run.

                      I just released version 2.0 today as an update for countryipblocks, per his request to cut down on bandwidth. The new version pulls the country lists from a tar.gz that gets expanded. So when you enable your package it pulls the list from your local webserver instead of countryipblocks.

                      I have tested countryblock 2.0 on pfsense 1.2.3 and pfsense 2.0BETA 5. I have not had any issues. What other addons do you have running? Did you upgrade your version of countryblock or install this new version fresh?

                        I upgraded to the 2.0 beta built on Saturday. I uninstalled Country Block rebooted. Then reinstalled country blocks. I selected all countries
                        and unchecked Untied States. Then I commited the countries, checked enable, then click save. The program no longer hangs. The countryblock.txt List file does get updated. It will just not run. I have tried from command line countyrblock.sh and execute.sh. Nothing! No errors or anything. I just cant get it to run. I also have Snort installed.

                          I believe that the problem may be within Apply changes. I just uninstalled and reinstalled, commited countries, hit enable the save, it prompts you to apply changes. Current Satus = not running  / You are blocking 0 networks.

                            Country Block has not been running or would not stay running for a few versions now for me. I am running 1.2.3 release. When I try to run countryblock.sh from shell I get this.

                            countryblock.sh: 43: Syntax error: "done" unexpected (expecting "then")

                                I found out that bash scripts will sometimes operate weird with foreign spaces and what not. While trying to debug the script I noticed it the file was in DOS format when saving. Creating a new file and pasting the script into it fixed my problem.

                                  Hey natgear. Seeing all those control codes (^M) makes me think you are having a similar problems.

                                    I know the problem. Windows likes to format my code before I upload it. I'm re-committing the package so hopefully it will be fixed here in the next 15 min.

                                      Exactly right. I removed the weird windows spacing and it corrected the problem. Just need to re-commit those changes.

                                        Yeah, execute.sh had the problem too. :) After fixing it everything worked again. In pfSense 1.2.3 that is

                                          Hey Tommy. It says

                                          Current Status = Running

                                          You are blocking 0 Networks

                                          yet says Currently 251 of 252 selected.

                                          Kind of funny if you ask me :)

                                          Edit:
                                          Looked into it a little more.

                                          pfctl -T show -t countryblock |grep -v -c Z
                                          pfctl: Table does not exist.

                                            Okay. It should be fixed. I just verified it working on 1.2.3 and 2.0BETA 5.

                                            Go ahead and uninstall your current package and then install the package. If it isn't working when you re-install then reboot. I had to do that for 1.2.3 for some reason.

                                            Thanks for notifying me it wasn't working.
