      I think pkg manager is broken, I installed rsync and it also had the same effect, upgrading to 2.3.2 in the console fixed the broken pkg manager but I still need to test pfBlocker but suspect it will be fine.

          Hi,

          Just installed 2.3.2 on a 2.3.1p5 with pfBlocker and after that I'm unable to get pfBlocker going.

          I uninstalled pfBlocker (when running 2.3.2) and then reinstalled it again, but no pfBlocker shows up in the menu.

          Anyone else encountered this?

          Best regards,
          Lars

            @RonpfS:

            Well during installation pfBlockerNG download the MaxMind GeoIP database … it probably crashes and the installation doesn't complete.  :o

              Fix removed because it doesn't seems to be related to GeoIP issue

                You may need to increase it to 400M or 500M if this fails

                  Another fix removed. Until we can pinpoint the issue.

                      So it looks that after a reboot the installation went fine without fixing any file on his system.

                        Same issue here, same fix. After uninstalling, rebooting and reinstalling everything worked (2.3.2-RELEASE (amd64))

                        UPDATE: That was valid only on one box, on the other it is still not present :S
                        UPDATE2: I traced this entry as error while reinstalling:

                        PHP ERROR: Type: 1, File: /usr/local/www/pfblockerng/pfblockerng.php, Line: 728, Message: Allowed memory size of 134217728 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 36 bytes)pkg: POST-INSTALL script failed

                        UPDATE3: Ok, got to the root of the problem. During the upgrade done yesterday (2.2.6 to 2.3.1 and immediately to 2.3.2) one box was changing architecture, from AMD64 to i386 :S
                        I will have to perform a fresh install then restore the config.

                        but that's wired…

                          Just an update, after upgrading both systems to 2.3.2 I was able to install pfBlocker fine and it seems to work as expected, thank you for your help.
