<![CDATA[Updating 1.2.3 to 2.0RC1 over SSH]]>Hello!

I tryed to update my pfsense Firewall (MSI AMD PC) from 1.2.3 to 2.0RC1 over SSH.
Before i deinstalled any packages. Then i rebooted the firewall.

Over the ssh i get into the update menu and told the firewall to get the file via internet.
Everything works fine. But know the update process (…....................) takes over 2 hours.

Is this normal?

The internet connection still works but if i try to got to the GUI of the Firewall over the IE9 the follwling message apears:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '&', expecting T_VARIABLE or '$' in /etc/inc/interfaces.inc on line 1023

Thanks for your help.

Download the ISO file, burn and reinstall.  Then upgrade via either webconfigurator -> firmware upgrade, or SSH.  Just to give you an idea how easy this can be, I reinstalled 1.2.3, upgraded to 2.0RC1 then upgraded to 2.0RC2 and reinstalled all packages (squid, squidguard, snort, country block, ip block, HAVP A/V, Cron, ntop) from my iphone via Wifi! :)

After the reboot the setup comes. Everything works fine exept the loadbalancing. (i have 2 WAN an use LB).
The lb menu is empty so it was not ported form the old system.

i think this could be the problem why the update wasnot able to finish the process?!

Heck, a fresh install only takes a few minutes. It sounds like something isn't right.
