Update from 2.3 to 2.3.1
-
Hi guys,
for a new installation I've installed 2.2 and updated to 2.3.
everything works fine after the update . one issue is I can't the firewall updated to 2.3.1 its keeps failing .
any suggestions how to troubleshot this ?thank yo
-
Since I am experiencing the same issue, an inability to upgrade from 2.3 to 2.3.1, I'm going to assume either you and I are doing the same wrong thing, or there is actually something that may have slipped out the door. :-\
-
Upgrades fine in all testing, and all the files are in place now. What specifically are you getting?
-
Try the upgrade again. For me it failed once saying that the repository upgrade failed. Everything worked fine on the second try.
-
I am getting the same error.
on the production the update went fine no issue . -
Wow! I did not expect a response so quickly. After five attempts, I am pasting from the update screen:
Updating repositories metadata…
Updating pfSense-core repository catalogue...
pfSense-core repository is up-to-date.
Updating pfSense repository catalogue...

All repositories are up-to-date.

I guess the package servers are being hammered at the moment since you're getting an error at a different stage than I did. Give it more tries.
-
I've shut down the pfsense and turn it on.
after that the updates wents fine .
don't know why but it works for me -
If it spits out failed, there, go to SSH, option 8, and run:
pfSense-upgrade -d
and post the output.
-
Rebooting the system did nothing for me. Here is the output from the upgrade command via ssh:
root: pfSense-upgrade -d

pkg: http://pkg.pfsense.org/pfSense_v2_3_0_amd64-pfSense_v2_3_0/All/pkg-1.7.2_2.txz: Not FoundI'm getting the same behaviour on my side. However, why does the system look in pkg: http://pkg.pfsense.org/pfSense_v2_3_0_amd64-pfSense_v2_3_0/All and not in http://pkg.pfsense.org/pfSense_v2_3_1_amd64-pfSense_v2_3_1/All/ directory?
PS: I'm new to pkg.

The upgrade fails to switch to the correct repository for some reason. On the second try when my upgrade succeeded I witnessed a message that said "Repository x has a wrong packagesite, need to re-create database" or something like that and it then proceeded to re-download all the repository catalogues using the correct addresses.
-
Oh, that should work now. Thanks
-
I seem to have found a fix:
Login to SSH # 8
Run: pfSense-upgrade -u
You should be able to run the upgrade like normal with option # 13 or via the GUI. Not sure on cause, but this fixes it.
-
Tried another time and it worked OK.
This was from the GUI and not from command line.
-
I seem to have found a fix:
either that updated the repo URL, or you just happened to catch it after I fixed the source of the issue. No need to do that at this point.
-
Had the same issue, I just kept trying. Eventually the servers will get through everyone. A staggered release may be in order for the next one, assuming more update servers are added by then.
pfSense WE LOVE GUYS. Keep up the great work.
