      Upgraded from 2.3.3-1 on a "Dell-PC" (2005 - my pfSense gateway/firewall since 2007) to 2.3.4.

      Took 2 minutes :  ;D
      I'm posting here 'through' it right now.

      2.3.4-RELEASE (amd64) 
       built on Wed May 03 15:13:29 CDT 2017 
       FreeBSD 10.3-RELEASE-p19 
      
       The system is on the latest version.
      

      Used packages : avahi - openvpn-client-export - acme** - nut.

      ** : Let's Encrypts certificates were already ok, no need to redo anything (see Changelog)

      No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
      Edit : and where are the logs ??

        Went very smoothly. Following advice from here I always do a full backup of my config.

          I upgraded three units this morning (Lanner FW-7525, pfSense SG-2440, Qotom Q355G4) from version 2.3.3-P1 to 2.3.4 without any problems. Everything is running fine, thanks to the pfSense developers!

              Update when fine, but now cannot login to the GUI I get "504 Gateway Time-out" after I put in my credential in the login page.  Ran the script to update the web gui certificate from the console and still cannot login.

              Is there a fix to this issue?

              Thanks

                That is not a known issue or one anyone has encountered during release testing. Please start a new thread for assistance.

                    That's entirely possible. Give it a bit and try again. :-)

                      For me the new update does not appear. I also tried via shell.

                        My update to 2.3.4 went smoothly.  Everything seems to be working. Thanks for the good work.

                          I used the console update (option 13) this time and everything went fine.

                            I always use console and a reboot beforehand to be sure there is not some issue lurking to manifest itself at the most inopportune time and to create a demarcation point before the upgrade.  i.e. it booted fine before the upgrade, so any issue is likely to be upgrade related as apposed to something else going wrong.  That's nice to know when troubleshooting.

                              The biggest issue I seem to have with upgrades is the extractions are taking forever.  We'll maybe not quite forever but a really long time.  Like about an hour.  A few individual ones take probably 10 to 15 minutes.

                              Pretty sure that's not normal.

                              Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.66GHz
                              2 GB RAM
                              Full install on USB 2 flash drive (idle, so don't think that is the cause)

                                For me it took couple of minutes. I have a rather old but still quite fast 30GB SSD on my system. I would guess your issue is the USB drive.

                                  But it is idle when this is going on.  Just occasional activity.

                                    FreeBSD 10.3-RELEASE-p19

                                    Version 2.3.4 is available.

                                    Any1 having this issue?

                                    Tnx

                                    I'm having the same issue.  Still showing 2.3.3-p1 after upgrade from WebGUI.  I rebooted and then did Console Option 13, which said it would download 2 MiB.  Even after reboot, still showing 2.3.3-p1.

                                    I'm gonna do a clean install of 2.3.4 and restore from config backup.  Never done that before.  Hope the config restore works or I'm extra screwed.

                                    Edit:  Success.  :D  I downloaded the 2.3.4 Release amd64 memstick image, used Win32DiskImager (on Windows) to create a USB install drive.  Also followed the Automatically Restore During Install instructions and created an additional USB drive with \conf\config.xml with an unencrypted backup file.  Did the Quick & Easy install and crossed my fingers.  After reboot, it came back 2.3.4 with my config automatically restored.

                                    The only hiccup was it didn't re-install packages.  I use FreeRADIUS so I'm glad I created a temporary Wi-Fi network that was WPA2-Personal so I could log back into the WebGUI.  Manually reinstalled all packages (and the package configuration settings magically restored, thank goodness).  After another reboot, everything is back to normal on 2.3.4-RELEASE and all packages running.

                                    I immediately made another backup.

                                    Edit 2:  In other words, this part in the documentation is incorrect:

                                    pfSense has, as part of the installation routine, a "Pre-Flight Install" or PFI. PFI will check for an existing configuration on a USB drive, and use it instead. When installing to the target disk, it will copy this configuration, and then the first time the WebGUI is visited afterward, all packages will be reinstalled.

                                    Packages have to be reinstalled manually after the Pre-Flight Install process is performed.

                                      The biggest issue I seem to have with upgrades is the extractions are taking forever.  We'll maybe not quite forever but a really long time.  Like about an hour.  A few individual ones take probably 10 to 15 minutes.

                                      Pretty sure that's not normal.

                                      2 GB RAM
                                      Full install on USB 2 flash drive (idle, so don't think that is the cause)

                                      This exact same behavior is reported by FreeNAS users that install to USB drives. Do yourself a favor and put a cheap SSD in there.

                                        Well, what i did … as i wrote in this thread ... as 2.3.4 did not work, and i did not have a backup of config from 2.3.3, i upgraded to experimental which worked just fine, made a backup of config and then installed fresh install of 2.3.4 and restored the same backup.

                                        Everything is working fine, and running latest stable version.

                                            For who was able to update, what is the content of the file /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/pfSense.conf after the upgrade?
