Hi!

i have a server with OS version 2.5.2 of PFSense, but i can´t update to 2.7.0, i tried by console and web but noting, anybody now if is my server or something in the versión. the error that show the console is pfSense-repoc-static: invalid signature

[stephenw10]

Try upgrading to 2.6 first.

@stephenw10 I tried to pass to 2.6 but the server don’t do anything

[stephenw10]

How is it failing?

@stephenw10

Sorry for the delay, when i tried to update from the web, the interfaz don´t do anything, just show the interfaz . if i do the upgrade from console show the message failed to read the repo data pfsense pfsense-repoc-static invalid signature pfsense, now i am working in a new machine with pfsense 2.5.2 from scratch.

If you're using new hardware I would just install 2.7 clean and restore your config. That will eliminate any upgrade issues.

@stephenw10

that will be great but my problem is that the system that is working now with 2.5.2 is phisical and i need to pass from 2.5.2 to 2.7 without destroy everything

[stephenw10]

You can just backup the config and restore it into the clean 2.7 install.

@stephenw10

You can install the latest version and run the backup with another older version without affecting the base version

@stephenw10

if i tried to update from consola, i have this messages. is a new installation on a virtual machine to test.

@fealiaga said in I can´t upgrade from 2.5.2 to 2.7.0:

Yes, you can restore a config from 2.5.2 (or any older version) into 2.7.

@stephenw10

there is any form to upgrade from 2.5.2 to 2.7 manually

[stephenw10]

Upgrade to 2.6 first. Set the repo to 2.5.2. Then run:

pkg-static clean -ay; pkg-static install -fy pkg pfSense-repo pfSense-upgrade

Then set tjhe repo to 2.6 and upgrade to that.

@stephenw10
I tried the way you told me, and it worked without problems, but I need to know how to update from 2.5.2 to 2.7 directly without having to use a new installation

[stephenw10]

You have to go through 2.6. Use the instructions above to upgrade to that if you have tried to upgrade to 2.7 and failed.

[fealiaga]

@stephenw10

i do the commands

then i tried to upgrade from the web but the web don´t do anything

also i tried from console and nothing

[stephenw10]

You didn't set the repo branch to 2.5.2 first. So it just reinstalled the 2.7 pkgs.

[fealiaga]

@stephenw10 so sorry i am new with this system, how i can set the repo to 2.5.2?

[stephenw10]

In System > Updates > Update Settings
