Getting crash reports after updating to 2.4.4

nesense · Sep 25, 2018, 4:08 PM

I already reinstalled.

Experiencing the same issue - had pfBlockerNG-devel installed prior to upgrade from 2.4.3-p1 to 2.4.4. Didn't appear to have any problems during upgrade. Have since uninstalled pfBlockerNG-devel, issue remains.

Same issue here, exact same set of error messages. Output from php -v:

PHP 7.2.10 (cli) (built: Sep 14 2018 11:32:18) ( NTS )

I too had pfBlockerNG-devel installed prior to the upgrade. I haven't tried uninstalling it, but I have noticed that the pfb_filter service isn't running, and if I attempt to start it manually, I can provoke the crash report.

I had pfblockerng-devel installed before but I uninstalled it and reinstalled the stable package before updating.

Your upgrade did not complete. It's still referencing old PHP 5.6 items. If you have WAN connectivity, go to an ssh or console shell and run pfSense-upgrade again.

Thank you, this message after first reboot, if in console i have:
Updating pfSense-core repository catalogue...
pfSense-core repository is up to date.
Updating pfSense repository catalogue...
pfSense repository is up to date.
All repositories are up to date.
Your packages are up to date

all ok, safety use?

If you still receive those errors after a reboot, then something must not be OK. If they went away, then it's fine.

If you still have problems, go through some of the suggestions here: https://www.netgate.com/docs/pfsense/install/upgrade-troubleshooting.html

Seeing the EXACT same thing as you. Working with Anthony but it seems to go deeper than pfBNG.

Jim,
I too am seeing the same errors. I uninstalled all packages rebooted, then did the "pkg-static clean -ay; pkg-static install -fy pkg pfSense-repo pfSense-upgrade" from the link you sent. System came up clean reinstalled packages as well as the pfBlockerNG devel from Anthony and as soon as I try to start pfb_filter service it provokes a crash report full of PHP errors.

Does it work as long as you don't install pfBlockerNG? There were a couple changes just merged for it, but I'm not sure it would help what you are seeing. If it works OK until you install pfBlocker, that's probably a topic for a different thread.

REM · Sep 26, 2018, 9:19 PM

@jimp i reboot 1 more time, all ok, no this messages.

Yes, but...
I am running his devel code and to the best of my knowledge that is unchanged since before 2.4.4. Worked fine on 2.4.3.

For those on pfBlockerNG-devel, can you confirm the output of these two commands (They should both match):

php -v

php_pfb -v

If they don't match:

rm -f /usr/local/bin/php_pfb
ln -s /usr/local/bin/php /usr/local/bin/php_pfb

And confirm that the two versions match.

TheNarc · Sep 27, 2018, 3:13 AM

He's done it again! Thanks BBCan. I can confirm that my two versions were different (php_pfb was back at v5.6.31) and after removing it and adding the link, they match. I was also able to start the pfb_filter service, and no more PHP errors.

Thanks, but this fix might only be for my beta testers (who use my private package repo) and yes you are one of them ;)

I am curious tho how these versions are for all other devel users?

Agreed! unfortunately he helped me fix mine before we documented the versions. Thanks for confirming the differences.
Still unsure how it occured.

When you make a hard link (ln without the -s), the link doesn't get removed or changed when the original file is removed. It stays as a separate copy.

So you make a hard link, pkg removes the old copy, leaving the old hard link in place
New php pkg gets installed, it takes the original name, but since the link was hard and not symbolic this does nothing to the old link copy.

That's just how hard links work -- it's a second reference to the exact same file, but the filesystem entry is independent.

Thanks Jim... Posted a PR to fix the symlinks here for pfBlockerNG-devel:
