PfSense 2.0.3 cannot open pid file /tmp/filterdns_cpah.pid at startup

abdurrahman

when pfSense 2.0.3 starting, 2 errors always occur…

1.ERROR: pgrep: cannot open pid file or file not exist: file /tmp/filterdns_cpah.pid
2.ERROR: Starting NTP Time Client.... (waiting for 2 minutes here) After, "hostname nor servname not provided, or not known"

Even if you reinstall pfSense 2.0.3, I see the 2 errors whenever pfSense reboots...

I guess that the errors above are the bugs of latestr version of pfSense.. I hope, the developers of pfSense team fix this bug as soon as possible...

I do have the same messages when I bootup a fresh installed pfsense 2.0.3 amd64 version.

I have the same error and the captive portal doesn't work

There is a fix for the NTP issue in the repo, but with 2.1 being so close, we may or may not put out a 2.0.3p1/2.0.4 since it would be right on top of the 2.1 release. We're still discussing that, but at the moment it seems waiting for 2.1 may be more likely.

That said, you can gitsync to RELENG_2_0 and pull in the fixes. Search around the forum and doc wiki for more info, I gave/linked instructions in another thread about the NTP issue.

I can confirm 1.ERROR on a fresh installed 2.0.3 i386 NanoBSD. It's appearing on every boot.

2.ERROR only appears, if there is no WAN connection.

All I could find so far is this thread:
http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=61379.0

As I am on NanoBSD gitsync seems to be no option. Where can I find more information about affected files to eventually manually solve the issue?

You can gitsync on NanoBSD, though it does involve it pulling down a git package and doing quite a few CF writes, it will work.

The commits that happened after 2.0.3 would show up here: https://github.com/pfsense/pfsense/commits/RELENG_2_0

Well, thanks Jim, probably took the warnings too seriously. Quite a few git commits to 2.0.3. Will give it a try after taking some sleep :).

As it's my first gitsync I'd like to ensure I got everything right. To firstly install git I've just issued a


pkg_add -r http://ftp-archive.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD-Archive/ports/i386/packages-8.1-release/Latest/git.tbz

I've been surprised about that many packages needed besides git to resolve dependencies (e.g. Perl, Python etc.). At the same time I received a lot of installation errors that are obviously caused by my filesystem beeing read-only.

Could anybody please ensure my follwoing execution plan beeing correct (2.0.3, i386, NanoBSD, normal Shell, not developer one):


/etc/rc.conf_mount_rw
pkg_add -r http://ftp-archive.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD-Archive/ports/i386/packages-8.1-release/Latest/git.tbz
pfSsh.php playback gitsync RELENG_2_0
/etc/rc.conf_mount_ro

Thanks for feedback in advance.

Nothing manual required beforehand, just run

pfSsh.php playback gitsync RELENG_2_0

It will automatically fetch a git package from our servers rather than FreeBSD so it's more up to date (and IIRC it has some dependencies trimmed). It also handles the rw/ro transition on its own.

Thank you for your quick reply. I've just performed gitsync with full log following:

Segmentation fault

I am worrying about three things:

1.) cvsps-2.1_1.tbz could not be installed and produces a dependency error.
2.) libiconv-1.14' and 'gettext-0.18.1.1' are of wrong version.
3.) Segmentation fault at the end of gitsync. No idea if PHP or Lighty or another program produced that error.

Version of pfSense changed from 2.0.3 to 2.0.3p1 - that's abviously OK.

Immediately after gitsync I restarted pfSense to see, if

pgrep: cannot open pid file or file not exist: file /tmp/filterdns_cpah.pid

has gone. Unfortunately, the error is still there.

Peter

EDIT: Error message looks slightly different though:

pgrep: Cannot open pidfile `/tmp/filterdns-cpah.pid': No such file or directory

Don't know, if it's relevant.

Maybe may last posting is a bit long. That's why I ask in short terms: Is there anybody out there who could solve the "/tmp/filterdns_cpah.pid" issue by gitsyncing? For me it did not work.
