Update from 2.3 to 2.3.1

churchi

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:

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.

No issues updating here from 2.3 to 2.3.1 after a few days.

Blade Runner

No issues :)

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.
