UPnP support
-
From my post referenced above about adding miniupnpd on embedded.
http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,1788.msg13498.html#msg13498
Miniupnpd uses the miniupnp.sh script to start the service. This file contains your ip address and nic interface hardcoded. Not a big deal as the sync_package_miniupnpd() recreates it. However it doesn't seem to run this when syncing packages at startup. I looked in the code and it looks like the miniupnpd.xml file should have a custom_php_resync_config_command section which calles sync_package_miniupnpd(). I think the thought was that once its configured theres really no need to keep recreating the same startup file.
Shouldn't the below be added to the miniupnpd.xml file so the package is resynced at startup. Wouldn't hardly add any extra time to boot and would insure the package is configured properly.
<custom_php_resync_config_command>sync_package_miniupnpd();</custom_php_resync_config_command>
I could be wrong but I looked into the pfsense-utils.inc file and don't see how this would get called without the above xml section.
-
Hmm I have the latest version with that has the custom_php_resync_config_command added in the xml file. I receive the following error.
Syncing packages:
miniupnpdFatal error: Call to undefined function: get_real_wan_interface() in /usr/local/pkg/miniupnpd.inc on line 13

Try to reinstall the package. I just commited a change.

Well were making progress. I figured it was something as simple as including a file. Although now it stops here.
Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /usr/local/pkg/miniupnpd.inc on line 28
foreach($_POST['interface_array'] as $iface) {
The issue is there is no post data. However it really comes down to an overthoght in the coding. Since the inferface_array is either pulled form the post data or the config. My thought is it should just read
foreach($interface_array as $iface) {
Since the if statement above is setting $interface_array = $_POST['interface_array']; it should still contain the array and properly go through each interface.
Also shouldn't the start_service("miniupnpd"); line be included in the if statment. If theres no interface array and no file is generated why should we start the service?
I'm going to make these changes on mine and see what happens. Will report back soon.

Alright with the above changes it works great now. No errors. I can see why pfSense takes so long to get to release 1.0. Lots of easily overlooked things that show up and to have to track them down and fix them all has go to be a major pain.
-
There is still a bug where it is resyncing packages twice causing issues. It you look at the log it takes longer for miniupnpd to exit than it does for the new one to start. Is there a way to make killall miniupnpd in the miniupnpd.sh file wait until it actually exits before proceeding?

Hopefully both problems have been addressed now.

Yep you got them. Works great.

I was wondering if you'd be willing to commit this to the miniupnpd.inc file. Instead of just waiting blindly it checks and loops until all the miniupnpd processes are killed. I have tested it and it works.
It counts the number of lines returned by ps relating to /usr/local/sbin/miniupnpd. If its not equal to 0 then we know miniupnpd is still running.
$start = "# Clear existing rules and rdr entries \n";
$start .= "/sbin/pfctl -aminiupnpd -Fr 2>&1 >/dev/null\n";
$start .= "/sbin/pfctl -aminiupnpd -Fn 2>&1 >/dev/null\n";
$start .= "/usr/bin/killall miniupnpd\n";
$start .= "while [ps -A | grep /usr/local/sbin/miniupnpd | grep -v grep | wc -l!= 0 ]; do sleep 1; done\n";
$start .= "/usr/local/sbin/miniupnpd -p 2869{$ifaces_final}"; -
One more adition to miniupnpd.inc that I found usefull on mine. We only need to run the start_service command if the serivce is not running or if the user changes the settings.
Othewise everytime the wan dhcp is updated the service is restarted. This is unecessary as only the wan interface NAME is used not the IP. For the -o override the ip is going to be static so it won't change. Plus it causes downtime with apps and game consoles, which can be bothersome.
Also this speeds up the boot process as the service won't be restarted numerous times. It starts once and gets restarted once when the rc file is called.
/* if not ONE instance running lets start /
/ or if $_POST data as user is changing settings */
if((int)exec("ps -A | grep /usr/local/sbin/miniupnpd | grep -v grep | wc -l") != 1 || $_POST['interface_array']) {
start_service("miniupnpd");
}EDIT – I spoke to soon its still restarting when dhcp renewed. Wonder where it is getting called from? I'm using the following code
/* if not ONE instance running lets start /
/ or if $_POST data as user is changing settings */
if((int)exec("ps -A | grep /usr/local/sbin/miniupnpd | grep -v grep | wc -l") != 1 || $_POST['interface_array']) {
log_error("miniupnpd resync package: start");
start_service("miniupnpd");
} else {
log_error("miniupnpd resync package: none");
}and am getting this in my log
Oct 7 16:08:19 miniupnpd[4067]: Unknown soap method
Oct 7 16:08:17 check_reload_status: reloading filter
Oct 7 16:08:16 miniupnpd[3242]: received signal 15, exiting
Oct 7 16:08:15 php: : miniupnpd resync package: none
So I wonder where its getting called from. Reguardless it would've restarted twice instead of once without it -

I think this is what you want.

Commited. Thanks.

Excellent work everybody.
I've paid my $50 through bradenmcg. It was sent to the general project with the instructions to distribute it as seen fit.
I've yet to try the latest miniupnpd builds or even RC3 for that matter. At the moment my main PC and server/domain controller are in peices all over my living room floor being upgraded. Hopefully this weekend it'll be up and running and I can give the latest code a try.
Keep up the good work!!
UPnP support is going to be a huge feature for the DIY crowd.
Thanks!!

I also donated another $50 as promised in the initial post… I sent both mine and Skud's to the project since I know there have been several people working on this now after databeestje did the initial stuff and I wanted to let you guys distribute it as you see fit. :)
It's still a pain in the ass to install on embedded though - that's the last thing I'd like to see resolved but I understand if it doesn't make it to 1.0 final. As long as there is some way (even unsupported) to make it work on embedded I stay happy. :D

i just used this script to update my miniupnp on my soekris to the 13 oct 18:30 uhr version
it will get the files from the pfsense packages server and move them to the correct maps/etc/rc.conf_mount_rw cd /tmp/ mkdir upnp cd upnp fetch http://pfsense.org/packages/config/miniupnpd/miniupnpd.inc mv -f miniupnpd.inc /usr/local/pkg/miniupnpd.inc chmod 755 /usr/local/pkg/miniupnpd.inc fetch http://pfsense.org/packages/config/miniupnpd/miniupnpd.xml mv -f miniupnpd.xml /usr/local/pkg/miniupnpd.xml chmod 755 /usr/local/pkg/miniupnpd.xml fetch http://pfsense.org/packages/config/miniupnpd/status_upnp.php mv -f status_upnp.php /usr/local/www/status_upnp.php chmod 755 /usr/local/www/status_upnp.php fetch http://pfsense.org/packages/config/miniupnpd/sbin/miniupnpd mv -f miniupnpd /usr/local/sbin/miniupnpd chmod 755 /usr/local/sbin/miniupnpd cd .. rmdir upnp /etc/rc.conf_mount_ro -

I added the miniupnpd files to the 1.0-RELEASE image.
http://wgnrs.dynalias.com:81/pfsense/pfSense-Embedded-1.0-RELEASE-Miniupnpd.img.gz
I also updated the script sh-custom-image.sh for 1.0-RELEASE see

Very cool, thanks rsw686!
I'm guessing that from RC3 I can't upgrade to 1.0 final, right? Need to pull the CF out of the box again and flash?
