Update from 2.3 to 2.3.1

padenom

….
The following 1 package(s) will be affected (of 0 checked):

Installed packages to be UPGRADED:
pkg: 1.6.2 -> 1.7.2_2 [pfSense]

The process will require 91 KiB more space.
2 MiB to be downloaded.
pkg: http://pkg.pfsense.org/pfSense_v2_3_0_amd64-pfSense_v2_3_0/All/pkg-1.7.2_2.txz: Not Found

I'm getting the same behaviour on my side. However, why does the system look in pkg: http://pkg.pfsense.org/pfSense_v2_3_0_amd64-pfSense_v2_3_0/All and not in http://pkg.pfsense.org/pfSense_v2_3_1_amd64-pfSense_v2_3_1/All/ directory?

PS: I'm new to pkg.

The upgrade fails to switch to the correct repository for some reason. On the second try when my upgrade succeeded I witnessed a message that said "Repository x has a wrong packagesite, need to re-create database" or something like that and it then proceeded to re-download all the repository catalogues using the correct addresses.

Oh, that should work now. Thanks

I seem to have found a fix:

Login to SSH # 8

Run: pfSense-upgrade -u

You should be able to run the upgrade like normal with option # 13 or via the GUI. Not sure on cause, but this fixes it.

Tried another time and it worked OK.

This was from the GUI and not from command line.

either that updated the repo URL, or you just happened to catch it after I fixed the source of the issue. No need to do that at this point.

Had the same issue, I just kept trying. Eventually the servers will get through everyone. A staggered release may be in order for the next one, assuming more update servers are added by then.

pfSense WE LOVE GUYS. Keep up the great work.

Hi,

I have run into this problem (updating from 2.3_1 to 2.3.1):

Updating repositories metadata…
Updating pfSense-core repository catalogue...
pfSense-core repository is up-to-date.
Updating pfSense repository catalogue...
pkg: http://pkg.pfsense.org/pfSense_v2_3_0_amd64-pfSense_v2_3_0/meta.txz: Forbidden
repository pfSense has no meta file, using default settings
pkg: http://pkg.pfsense.org/pfSense_v2_3_0_amd64-pfSense_v2_3_0/packagesite.txz: Forbidden
Unable to update repository pfSense
Failed

After a while, now I'm getting this:

Updating repositories metadata...
Updating pfSense-core repository catalogue...
pfSense-core repository is up-to-date.
Updating pfSense repository catalogue...
pkg: http://pkg.pfsense.org/pfSense_v2_3_0_amd64-pfSense_v2_3_0/meta.txz: Not Found

pkg: http://pkg.pfsense.org/pfSense_v2_3_0_amd64-pfSense_v2_3_0/packagesite.txz: Not Found

Any suggestions?

No relation to the update server. I screwed up a symlink initially so those on a version that didn't already have the latest version of pkg couldn't fetch it. We were already planning automating that part of the process away for next time around.

looks like you haven't tried since it was fixed.

Update: after retrying several times, now the update is running as expected:

Updating repositories metadata…

Thanks!

Awesome work with pfSense!! You guys rock!

running "pfSense-upgrade -u", followed by "pfSense-upgrade -d" appears to be working for me. I'll be able to confirm once it completes & reboots.

UPDATE: I can confirm a successful upgrade.

Thanks mate, the -u
switch is what i needed to run first, then the upgrade worked without issues.

Up until I ran this (even after the update by cmb) i was still not able to upgrade to 2.3.1. This was the fix for me.

cheers.

I was having the same problem, but instead of rebooting the machine, I went to the "Update Settings" tab, changed it to "Development Snapshots", saved, then put it back to "Stable", and saved again. After I did that, the update worked fine. I also saw the "need to re-create database" message.

This worked for me as well. Thanks for the tip.

I'm getting a different error after the update. Any ideas?

Crash report details:

PHP Errors:

just log spam, the crash reporter suppresses it in 2.3.1+.

I appreciate the reply. Just to confirm though, I shouldn't be seeing this? It's popping up on my dashboard via the crash reporter (after updating from 2.3_1 to 2.3.1).

Since it happened before you were on 2.3.1, you can see it. You shouldn't see it again.

Ahh, I see. So the actual "error" is in the first part of the crash report, which is a fixed timestamp. Whereas the PHP warning that I posted, which gets a new timestamp every time I clear it and reboot, is essentially just a display artifact of that initial "error"?

Edit: Tried my best to fully clear it out - keeps coming back.

Edit2: I think I cleared it out successfully. I ended up moving to the development version, then back to 2.3.1. I realize per cmb that is was probably nothing, but it bothered me :)
