Cant edit some files in www folder using edit file
-
im on the 2.2.5 nanobsd and i have some patched php files which i apply using edit file in web gui, specifically related to miniupnp and system.php, what i noticed is, snapshots since past one month dont save the files present in the www folder. Miniupnp.inc and xml do edit just fine but if i try the same with system.php, the page keeps says saving and gets stuck and never actually saves them
looks like he said nano right from the get go
-
I have no problem using the webGUI to edit on 2.2.5 nanobsd. I am guessing it will be some issue with the CF/SD card.
-
if so then why do all other files except the ones in www folder edit just fine, if i try anything in the www folder, it would simply keep saying saving for ever and would never complete.
i even tried to mount CF as rw and then do the same but still no luck

That is a good question! Is there anything in the system log?
If you go to a command line and edit something (e.g. with "ee") and save, then it might show you some error message when saving that will help find the cause. -
i tried using ee in serial console, i tried editing a file in www folder but on saving changes keeps saying unable to create file
-
Well yeah that has nothing to do with the webGUI. It's still the same UFS shit over and over again. Reinstall to different media. Your current one is either dead or incompatible with the wonderful UFS filesystem. ::)
-
what do u mean dead, it works fine, upgrades also work all good, its currently on UFS, other than saving to www folder all the other functions work perfectly fine
-
I am 300% sure your issue will go away as soon as you switch to 2.2.2 or older, predating the UFS improvements. If you want to use something newer, also 300% sure it won't work with your media.
time rc.conf_mount_rw ee /usr/local/www/system.php (make your changes) time rc.conf_mount_roObserve how wonderfully it performs. ::)
-
it was saving files on 2.2.4 perfectly fine, i have another alix box with a different CF and on that too it saves in pfsense 2.2.4.
just with recent snaps of 2.2.5 it stopped saving, older snaps of 2.2.5 it was saving fine
-
Yeah OK. See hints above. Merely telling you that UFS is broken beyond repair with CF (or any "slow" media in general). Additionally, if you only see this with specific files, I'm very sure the media is faulty or filesystem broken, definitely not "working fine". Again, there are logs, or dmesg even.
-
the logs etc dont mention anything of failure and i think it has to be something with the permissions on the www folder because almost any other file i tried outside it works, just all the files within the www folder exhibit this behaviour and even upgrading to a newer snap has the same issues
-
If it were the directory permissions, you wouldn't be able to edit anything there. Not just system.php. Really. Also, it's extremely easy to check the permissions.

here is a dmesg log

Looking at "CF 1GB" in the dmesg output - are you sure you simple are not out of space???

i tried editing using winscp and that too fails

the CF is almost empty, i just use pfsense and the cron package
-
Almost empty? Pardon me, but if it shows almost empty, there's something very wrong with your FS. That space gives you rougly 450MB per each slice, which is just about enough for basic system. Could you just do a real check what's the space there? Because "almost empty" is nonsense.
$ df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/ufs/pfsense0 908M 341M 494M 41% /This is from a 2GB CF nanobsd install. Just 2.2.4 system itself. As you can see there, that's almost 350MB, and the 2.2.5 thing is bigger, due to python being included.

Well, so much for almost empty. Other than that - backup the config and re-image the card… If that doesn't work, get a new one.
-
seems like other things also broken, i did the below things
- got a brand new 2GB CF card and flashed the last 2.2.5 snap onto it
- booted and came to the web gui
- tried to restore backed up config and the page keeps going on and on
- tried multiple times and even with different browsers but still wont restore the config
now the thing about broken CF card is out of the picture and secondly something as simple as restoring the config using the web GUI should atleast work right, i even tried editing the file also from edit file page and situation is still same
