      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:
              [18-May-2016 19:56:23 America/New_York] PHP Warning:  PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/local/lib/php/20131226/suhosin.so' - /usr/local/lib/php/20131226/suhosin.so: Undefined symbol "ps_globals" in Unknown on line 0

                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?

                              Getting some similar messages myself 2.3 -> 2.3.1 upgraded yesterday:

                              /rc.newwanip: rc.newwanip: on (IP address: 172.25.206.1) (interface: []) (real interface: ovpns2).

                              /rc.newwanip: pfSense package system has detected an IP change or dynamic WAN reconnection - -> 172.25.207.1 - Restarting packages.

                              172.25.207.0 is IPSec tunnel
                              172.25.206.0 is openvpn

                              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.
