      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!

                                      How old is that configuration backup? Does it even come from the same machine?

                                        two days ago but it's from my original pfsense. I've tried to use it on another machine that I've reinstalled.

                                          Uh? Wondering why it does not match? Sounds like another Layer 8 error.

                                            very funny :D
                                            ok the problem it could be me…anyway I cannot realize how to solve it!
                                            I try to explain. I have 3 interface wan, lan and opt. In the new machine 3 ethernet cards sge0, re0,re1. I've checked which one it is physically.
                                            I connected the right cable connected to the previous pfsense to the right new interface.
                                            What's more?  :-\
