PHP Errors:
[26-Feb-2025 16:43:00 UTC] PHP Warning:  PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'ftp.so' (tried: /usr/local/lib/php/20220829/ftp.so (Shared object "libssl.so.30" not found, required by "ftp.so"), /usr/local/lib/php/20220829/ftp.so.so (Cannot open "/usr/local/lib/php/20220829/ftp.so.so")) in Unknown on line 0

What could be the reason for this error message?

Thanks.

Potentially it could have been generated during the upgrade.

If you remove it does it re-appear?

Can you upgrade to 2.7.2? (the current version)

@stephenw10 ,
It does reappear.

I have spent hours on 2.6.0 to 2.7.0 upgrade and fill very uncomfortable with the future ones. I do not know what caused my installation issues, but packages fetching was very-very slow. It could be something with pkg01-atx.netgate.com and pkg00-atx.netgate.com servers (DNS resolution, IPV6 ...).

If you have any doubts about the state of the install I would just install 2.7.2 clean and restore your config into it.

@stephenw10,
I found that the 'acme' package depends on php82-ftp-8.2.11. Reinstalled the 'acme' package and those messages stopped appearing. But after restart the router became completely unresponsive.
Reinstalled pfSense CE from USB 2.7.2. Restored the configuration and now the packages are not being installed.
Just the following message " Packages are currently being reinstalled in the background.
Do not make changes in the GUI until this is complete. "
But in reality nothing is happening.
It keeps shooting "Unresolvable source alias 'pfB_PS_v4' for rule 'pfB_PS_v4 auto rule' "

The router is connected to the Internet and it works. Those messages are weird.

What a pain.

stephenw10

Had it updated the pkg list before you restored the config?

If you are using that alias to allow out traffic you may need to add an allow rule before it's populated. But that would be an unusual setup. You may only need to update pfBlocker lists.

Can you ping out from the firewall directly?

@stephenw10
That was the DNS resolver configuration issue.
Outgoing Network Interfaces was set to "ALL".
I have changed it to "Localhost"
Decided not to use DNS Query Forwarding in the resolver.
Enabled DNSSEC Support.
Enabled Prefetch Support and Prefetch DNS Key Support.

All packages restored successfully.
Now I understand why my upgrade 2.6.0 to 2.7.0 was painfully slow.
