        /home/Desktop/pfsense/src/ ? Looks like you are trying to run pfSense PHP code on a workstation and not in pfSense. You have to install pfSense as a complete operating system on a computer or virtual machine.

        Do not install it on your desktop system directly or it will replace your desktop OS and that's almost certainly not what you want.

            As said above : pfSense is an OS. It's not some just some collection of PHP files.
            You can of course run it on your desktop : Fire up your favourite VM host, create a VM, and install it in there. The whole thing.

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

              The PHP bits are only a part of pfSense, they are not "pfSense" as such. pfSense is the entire product built from the pfSense/pfSense, pfSense/FreeBSD-src, and pfSense/FreeBSD-ports repositories. It must be run as a separate operating system, it cannot run inside another operating system without being completely virtualized in a hypervisor.

                  You'll be needing a compatible device with at least two NICs (network interfaces).
                  This could be a VM, this or an ordinary PC.
                  The SG1100 will get to you preloaded with pfSense.
                  Or visit https://www.pfsense.org/download/ and download a copy - and burn it to a USB key.
                  Then as usual, read the notice first https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/install/index.html and do what's explained.

                  Basically, installing pfSense is like installing, for example, Windows 10. The hardware requirement are not the same : you do not need the latest graphics card to run it - just a second internet card (do not choose build-in wifi as a second LAN interface ....).
