form 2.4.3 upgrade 2.4.4rc20180904 can't open gateway GUI

Gertjan

Ask if the GUI web server is running well ?!

For example :

ps ax | grep 'nginx'

Can you show us an image like I did above ?

Btw : if pfSense doesn't work right away you have very special hardware, or other "non-common" issues.
Use no VM - take an old 5 $ PC with a second LAN and install pfSense. That will work right away.
If still not, it's time to stop using phrases with no details, start to details what you do, how, with what etc.
Your descriptions will make s give you the answers ...

If 2.4.4 is based on the web server nginx ....
From what I read on the forum, the upcoming 2.4.4 IS pretty stable.
Check out the logs ( clog /var/log/system.log and others in /var/log ) to see why nginx isn't starting, or go back to 2.4.3_1

Check line 1444 and further along in /etc/inc/system.inc.

Use option 11 ( Restart webConfigurator) or even option 1) Re asign the interfaces to make a clean start.

If the file is hosed, consider the disk in bad shape, or worse.

i have to reback pf 2.4.3 just work. Can i upgrade the frr to 5.0.1 with pf 2.4.3?

jimp

No, you cannot use 2.4.4 packages on 2.4.3. Load the pfSense 2.4.4-RC and keep trying to figure out what is happening that prevents it from working for you.

If a problem doesn't get found and fixed in the snapshots or RC it will still be a problem in the release. But since nobody else is hitting that issue but you, you need to do some debugging to figure out what is wrong with your configuration that triggers the problem.

Ok, found something.

When asking for certicate, you checked

OCSP Must Staple
Add the OCSP Must Staple extension to the certificate.

This produces in 2.4.4 some extra config lines for nginx :

@yon-0 said in form 2.4.3 upgrade 2.4.4rc20180904 can't open gateway GUI:

  ssl_stapling on;
  ssl_stapling_verify on;
  resolver 202.141.162.123 2001:19f0:7402:d:5400:00ff:fe2a:7fb6 1.1.1.1 2001:41d0:8:be92::1 valid=300s;
  resolver_timeout 5s;

I just asked also for a stapled certificate.
So, no my nginx config show :

                ssl_stapling on;
                ssl_stapling_verify on;
                resolver 127.0.0.1 valid=300s;
                resolver_timeout 5s;

and ... my GUI works very well.

I use the default Resolver.
You use some "other DNS".

For the time being, your have severals options to get your GUi back :
Ask for a new certicate, without the OCSP Must Staple option (dono how that can be done without GUI access ^^).
Or blow away your DNS ( these "202.141.162.123 2001:19f0:7402:d:5400:00ff:fe2a:7fb6 1.1.1.1 2001:41d0:8:be92::1" ) - thuis can be done with the command viconfig - or export /conf/config.xml and it it.
Or reset to default, redo your config,

Now for plan Z :
The pfSense code (this file : /etc/inc/system.inc) doesn't set up the parameters for the "resolve" line correctly , this one :

resolver 202.141.162.123 2a05:dfc7:5::53 2001:19f0:7402:d:5400:00ff:fe2a:7fb6 1.1.1.1 2001:41d0:8:be92::1 valid=300s;

nginx became recently OSCP staple-aware, and a quick search on the net learns us :

resolver 202.141.162.123 [2a05:dfc7:5::53] [2001:19f0:7402:d:5400:00ff:fe2a:7fb6] 1.1.1.1 [2001:41d0:8:be92::1] valid=300s;

... the [] to delimit IPv6 addresses are missing !!! ( this is the bug)
( /etc/inc/system.inc needs a small edit )

So, I recap :
Use the default DNS - the resolver - and you'll be happy.
and/or
OCSP Must Staplede activate and ask a new cerificate - and remove the option OSCP .... in Menu System => Advanced => Admin Access

and you will get your GUI back.
