      Hi,

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

      Any suggestions?

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

          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.

            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.

            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 :)

                            Not sure whether to start a new thread or not.

                            However after upgrading from 2.3_1 to 2.3.1 my WAN wouldn't come up.  Both onboard intel NICs.  LAN was fine but no WAN IP.

                            Tried to edit/save interface in the GUI as per the 2.3 upgrade issues sticky (though I was already on 2.3), that didn't help.

                            System log filled every second line with this from boot:

                            syslogd sendto: Network is unreachable

                            Ended up fixing it somehow by ssh'ing to the box, and reassigning interfaces to what they were already set to.

                            DHCP seems to be throwing a fair few errors now though:

                            May 19 12:07:53 php-fpm 48160 /rc.newwanip: pfSense package system has detected an IP change or dynamic WAN reconnection - 0.0.0.0 -> 192.168.0.32 - Restarting packages.

                            That's a bit of a worry.

                              After upgrading two sites,  I'm finding that a power off / on reset is needed before pfSense comes back up.  No big problem for the local router, but it's a bit of an issue for the remote site.

                              UPDATE:  Visited remote site today, and confirmed there was no access from either WAN and no access and no DHCP from LAN connection.  Reboot solved the problem.

                                I still can't update, I get an operation timeout on https://pkg.pfsense.org/pfSense_v2_3_1_amd64-pfSense_v2_3_1/All/python27-2.7.11_2.txz operation timed out

                                The link does work though, I tried the -u and -d parameters. What happened to manual upgrading?

                                  They are pretty regular.
                                  Also had the web configurator stop working earlier after a spate of these.

                                        Tried upgrading several times from 2.3_1 to 2.3.1 via the web gui and it fails.  Also tried from SSH.

                                        Via SSH I get :-

                                        72 MiB to be downloaded.

                                        Locking package pfSense-kernel-pfSense_wrap…
                                        Locking pfSense-kernel-pfSense_wrap-2.3

                                        Then it returns back to the prompt.  After rebooting, I'm still on 2.3

                                        This is on an ALIX 2C2.  I also tried manually copying the boot slide from the NanoBSD menu - same issue.
