pfSense 2.6.0 stop working
-
Hello,
today I had a strange behavior with pfsense 2.6.0 installed in a VM. The firewall is running from years without any problems. Today the web interface stop working with the message "No page assigned to this user! Click here to logout.". I tried to reboot the machine, the firewall reboot with a crash, no assigned interface, no interface ip addresses, etc. Trying some command from a cli, I received this error "Parse error: syntax error, unexpected end of file in /usr/local/sbin/pfSsh.php(374) : eval()'d code on line 6"I resolved restoring the VM backup.
The last thing that I changed in the last week is the WebConfigurator certificate. I imported the certificate of my domain CA.
Could be a related problem?Thank you.

About the only thing I could imagine that would present as both those things would be a filesystem issue like a full drive.

@stephenw10 You are right!
I'm playing with a copy of the broken VM. I deleted all the logs file and now there is space on the disk, snort had collected 50GB of data.The firewall starts but I continue to have the same error. Is the system restorable or when I have this kind of problem the OS is definitively damaged?
Thank you.

Sometimes. It depends how far it boots and what it was doing when it failed.
Usually it just fails to boot because it cannot create a file that's required and after freeing up space it will boot normally. Since that isn't happening it seems more damage occurred. If it's running ZFS you may be able to roll back to an earlier BE snapshot. Or just do that as a VM snap if you have any. If you have config backups I would just reinstall and restore it.Steve
