Config sync stopped working?

vindenesen

Somewhere between a snapshot on the 18. of november and the current snapshot today (2.2-BETA (amd64) built on Tue Nov 25 01:23:50 CST 2014), config sync stopped working for me. I'm running two pfsense in a HA setup, and the logs display:

php-fpm[29292]: /rc.filter_synchronize: New alert found: An error code was received while attempting XMLRPC sync with username admin http://<ip of="" secondary="">:80 - Code 2: Invalid return payload: enable debugging to examine incoming payload.

I'm using the nano version, and if I switch the active slice, and boot up from the old one (from 18. of nov), then config sync starts working again. I tested it using the "Force config sync" button on the Filter Reload page.

Does anyone else also have this issue?</ip>

What does the log on the secondary show?

There have been a few misc issues fixed just this morning that may have affected it as well, try it again after updating to a snapshot dated after this post.

Thanks for the reply jimp :)

The System - General log on the secondary doesn't display anything out of the ordinary. No messages regarding XMLRPC or config sync. Any other logs I could check?
Will update when a new snapshot is ready.

I'm afraid that it didnt help. Now running "2.2-BETA (amd64) built on Fri Nov 28 08:10:11 CST 2014", same issue. My test environment doesn't have this issue, so I'm assuming it has something to do with my config. How do I enable debugging to examine incoming payload?

Edit:

I executed /etc/rc.filter_synchronize on the primary. Gave a whole lot of output. This is a short version:

Managed to resolve this by setting up the secondary from scratch. Created all interfaces required, and then got the configuration to synchronize.
