      I'm trying to figure out a way to manually install the GUI for a package. I need FreeRADIUS 2.x to do WPA2-Enterprise (I can't figure out manually creating the certificates for FreeRADIUS 1.x). I had it working great (manually installing from the command line after installing the GUI), but then I upgraded snapshots, and there's no way to install it anymore because all the non-PBI packages were pulled  :-[

      I really need either this or someone who can help me walk through getting FreeRADIUS 1.x setup to do WPA2-Enterprise… help much thanked and appreciated!

        Try the way I posted in the other thread.

        Another possibility could be to copy .inc and .xml files from the package (get it from github) to your pfsense

        /usr/local/pkg/
        

        Then go to pfsense -> Diagnostics -> Command Prompt:
        And execute the install function on the php execute box. It should look like this:

        
        require_once('config.inc');
        require_once('service-utils.inc');
        require_once("util.inc");
        require_once("functions.inc");
        require_once("pkg-utils.inc");
        require_once("globals.inc");
        require_once("filter.inc");
        require_once("services.inc");
        freeradius_install_command();

          Thanks a ton! I hope I can get their staff network up and working tomorrow, their next event starts this Thursday… so I have little time. I'm booked all day Wednesday, and most of Tuesday... I have all afternoon tomorrow though if I need it. I've never used the command prompt in the webconfigurator. Do I just copy and paste that whole chunk you showed me as-is?

          Thanks tons!

            Thanks I got it working, it still would be nice as a general rule to have an easy way to manually install a package GUI (I looked at creating my own package repository but that seemed overkill)
