I also installed the AV status widget .. and HAVP widget for the "Dashboard".

Come to think of it now … i think that this actually happened when I hit the save setting on the "dashboard" to save the widget layout.

Any suggestions as to what to do next?

Thanks,
Josh

I don't see any way that the arping package could have changed anything in that way, and it hasn't been updated (aside from correcting some minor text-only formatting) in several months.

The system log is complaining about a specific line in the config that isn't formatted properly - you should see what is on that line.

You are referring to my config.xml correct?

Here is the lines in the area that it was complaining about … this is straight out of the config read through ssh.

@psychosematic:

Come to think of it now … i think that this actually happened when I hit the save setting on the "dashboard" to save the widget layout.

I also attached a couple screens of what is happening with the webgui along with the config history too. I am not totally sure what caused this to happen … like you said though I don't believe that the arping was the direct cause. It may have been the dashboard widgets after I clicked "save settings" is when everything happened.

Thanks for all the help and patience!

ah ha. Caught the little bugger… there shouldn't be two pkginfolinks... that shouldn't have been an array, hence the explosion.

Should be fixed in ~5 minutes once the repo syncs up with my commit.

So should I just restart the webgui from console … does that fix the gui problem as well?

jimp

you could use viconfig from the console and delete this:

730                        <pkginfolink>731                                <0>http://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Arping_package
732                                <1>http://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Arping
733</pkginfolink>

And it should be ok, then reinstall arping again.

I have edited to config .. lines no longer there.

I apologize for the newbness here, longtime user of pfsense but I don't really know too much about the inner workings for console commands, as I am unable to use the webgui .. would you be so kind as to let me know the syntax to install arping from console?

Thanks again for your help!

You don't install it from the console, after you fix the config you can get back into the GUI and do it there. :)
