We started getting the same thing yesterday around 4 pm pacific time. It started on about 15 then was up to 20 by last night. We are now at 37 of 60 of our firewalls that are doing it. Exact same error when trying to login to GUI. passing traffic and reporting to Solarwinds. But cant manage or hit via vpn.

Most of our firewalls are on 2.4.4 P2

No updates or config was done it just happened out of nowhere.

Having this issue also, here is a crashdump got, it almost looks like the storage dropped out, it cannot find its own files?!?!

That's not related, start a new thread.

rbgarga

@emil It looks correct. What happens if you execute that script?

/etc/rc.php_ini_setup

emil

@rbgarga

Here is crash report PHP_errors.zip

rbgarga

@emil can you share /etc/rc.php_ini_setup with me? even send it to my email renato at netgate dot com.

and please confirm which pfSense version you are running

emil

@rbgarga Yes will send it to you.

rbgarga

Can someone try these commands on shell of a broken system and let me know if it fixes the issue?

# pkg update -f
# pkg upgrade -f pfSense-repo
# pkg info | grep pfSense-repo

at this moment make sure it's running version 2.4.4_7 of this package

# /etc/rc.php_ini_setup

eli

We are loading up a fresh install on a box we have at our office. Will be heading out to first site with the issue in about an hour. I can run the scripts on the shell when I get hands on the box and will let you know the results.

Also the same site, we had our customer reboot the box. It came back up for about 10 minutes then went back into same error state.

emil

@eli This is exactly what we are experiencing here almost on all pfSense firewalls. After firewall or PHP-FPM restart error is back like in 10 minutes.

emil

I have ran commands and restarted PHP-FPM in console option 16. All is working good so far.

pkg update -f

pkg upgrade -f pfSense-repo

pkg info | grep pfSense-repo

at this moment make sure it's running version 2.4.4_7 of this package

/etc/rc.php_ini_setup

stephenw10

What pfSense packages did you have installed anyone who hit this?

Anything unusual?

Steve

emil

Just Cron.

rbgarga

@emil Do you have any extra item on your crontab?

emil

@rbgarga

- - - - root /usr/local/bin/php /usr/local/www/pfmonitor.checkin.php

stephenw10

You have pfmonitor installed then?

Anyone else hitting this running that?

Steve

emil

@stephenw10 Yes, I have pfmonitor installed.

rbgarga

@emil I don't know the code of that pfmonitor.checkin.php, but I strongly believe it was the cause of the issue. I'm saying that because we tried several times to reproduce the issue here and we couldn't. That is the reason we don't support systems running 3rd party code.
