[SOLVED] : Configuration saved but not applied
-
Solution : The problem described bellow was caused by a package named "iperf" , by removing this package the problem was eliminated on both machines.
Hey everyone.
I am working with pfsense as a firewall to the internal network, producing all the needed connectivity.
We had a really old server that runs the Pfsense, we decide to terminate that one and put it on a new one. So I made a full backup and apply that backup to a fresh installation of pfsense on a VMware(temporary) but it worked perfectly! Then the new hardware came and we moved the configuration setup from the VMware to a fresh installation of pfsense on the new hardware(final place for the pfsense) . Everything worked like it should, BUT! I add a new interface and setup a DHCP, but the interface does not provide IP's , today I try to add a new machine to one of the current networks, It did save the mapping but did not apply it to the new machien.I see that after the backup from another machine, any changes I do are saved in the configuration files but they are not applied by the system. I am suspecting a permissions problem, but I am not sure how can I check that.

UPDATE:
I have reboot the system and all the configuration changes were executed. The new interface DHCP I have add before the restart worked like it should, I then had to changed the address and that update worked too. Now I have to change the address again, I changed it and reset the DHCP services, that did not made the DHCP to work properly, it keeps on providing the old address pool, but when I staticly enter the address, everything work like it should.
The /var/dhcpd/etc/dhcpd.conf receive the proper configuration bur the deamon somehow does not read it ? -
I have went back to the old machine that was working like it should, but apperantly the same thing happen to it as well.
The only thing I did was remove tftp package. I bring it back afterwards but that did not change a thing.
So I found post that brings a clue - http://serverfault.com/questions/506592/pfense-needs-to-be-rebooted-to-effect-a-change-in-existing-natSo what I did was I run - /etc/rc.filter_configure_sync
And then I check the system logs and I found the updates performed :
Oct 22 13:11:42 php: rc.filter_configure_sync: Adding TFTP nat rules
Oct 22 13:11:42 php: rc.filter_configure_sync: Adding TFTP nat rulesSo regardless of how much I run this, it always do that.
I do have now problem with the TFTP, I have add another TFTP server and change the address to that TFTP server and the configuration its not working until I reboot the system.I have factory reset a machine with pfsense and try to change something on the DHCP , map an IP and no result till reboot.
How I can fix this problem ?
