Accidently locked out of WebGUI

Raka74

Hi,

I accidentally uploaded a wrong logo image and now all the webui shows is

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected 'version' (T_STRING) in /usr/local/www/logo.svg on line 1

Any suggestions to get back in?

heper

replace the corrupted logo back with the original ?
https://github.com/pfsense/pfsense/blob/master/src/usr/local/www/logo.svg

it's never a good idea to start messing with source when using a production machine

I would do that if I could, I uploaded the corrupt one via the command option in the GUI.
I realise now I shouldn't have done this without leaving another way in open.

heper

ssh ? or directly from vga or serial console

something like below might do the trick

cd /usr/local/www
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pfsense/pfsense/master/src/usr/local/www/logo.svg

?? I wouldn't even run "ls"' in this thing.
The GUI - like Windows ** - is nice when everything works fine.

The console access (can also be SSH access) was not created to have a spare access in mind, but it fulfils perfectly this need.

Btw : pretty unthinkable that you actually started modifying source 'html' or PHP pages without assuring your back == using a console access. Just one typo and you're out ....

** and any other device with a GUI type access :)

edit :

cd /usr/local/www
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pfsense/pfsense/master/src/usr/local/www/logo.svg

This only works when execued from console or SSH access.
Also, I didin't manage to install 'wget' /)

edit :

If I manage to connect with console don't have to upload another file I think, if the file doesn't exist the page will load.
It did when I renamed the original .svg to .old

I didnt expect replacing a picture to have this much impact :(

But I'm not holding my breath - I haven't looked, but not even sure if the box has a serial port , and if so I have to find a usb->serial cable somewhere.

Thanks for the suggestions anyway.

Probably because "logo.svg" isn't something as a "binary" image file, but something included in a style sheet.
Open the file ;)

You could also use 'fetch' which is included for future reference.
