      There is also captiveportalcpzone.db
      I've only tried to restart the service.

      Try to rename that too.

          I have captive portal working on 2.2. I guess you're still with old database files being called.

          The errors shows what database file is broken?

            I get this:Zone: cpzone - Error during table cpzone creation. Error message: file is encrypted or is not a database

              Make a config backp and then disable captive portal and move/delete  old databases to another folder.
              Captive portal configuration stays on xml.

                I've already done config backup before upgrade to 2.2. Anyway which database in /var/db have I to delete?

                  Captive portal databases.
                  You move to another folder instead of deleting it if you prefer.

                    ok I've copied all files captiveportal***.db and then deleted.
                    These are the logs:
                    Jan 31 19:20:05 logportalauth[95869]: Zone: cpzone - Reconfiguring captive portal().
                    Jan 31 19:20:27 check_reload_status: Reloading filter
                    Jan 31 19:20:05 check_reload_status: Syncing firewall
                    and this  lighttpd[89587]: (server.c.1558) server stopped by UID = 0 PID = 27770

                    But it seems not working yet…

                      Did you disabled/enabled  the service after removing the database files?

                          Well,  I have it working.  You need somebody else experience with 2.1 to 2.2 captive portal migration.

                          Postfix package will have similar issues but I'm writing a guide for package migration when pbi binaries get working…

                            No problems with migration here… (If you cannot get it working, a clean install and config restore takes minutes.)

                              a clean install of 2.1.5 or 2.2?

                                Up to you, though 2.1 is pretty much a dead end.

                                  I will try a clean install of 2.2 on another machine.

                                    Minutes??? I've tried to reinstall pfsense n times and it doesn't work. After restore I get mismatch error and I've tried but I am not able to set the right interfaces.
                                    I don't understand. Error in the backup file?

                                      You won't have much luck with restoring 2.2 configuration backup on 2.1.x

                                        no the backup was of the 2.1.5 and I've tried it on 2.1.5 and also on 2.2.
                                        I will throw out of the window the pc!!!

                                          Nice rant. Post the exact errors you get and explain what does "I am not able to set the right interfaces" mean.

                                            It's difficult to explain. If I can arrive to the web gui and I can apply the restore I think I am at a good point…
                                            Anyway I get Network interface mismatch. I've tried to associate the interfaces to the correct wan,lan,...but when I apply and reboot it doesn't work anything and I cannot access to pfsense anymore.
                                            And after the restore, I get login error. It seems password doesn't work!
