Can't install freeradius2 on pfsense v2.1
-
Hi,
When trying to install freeradius2 it stops at
Beginning package installation for freeradius2 . Downloading package configuration file... done. Saving updated package information... done. Downloading freeradius2 and its dependencies... Checking for package installation... Downloading http://files.pfsense.org/packages/8/All/freeradius-2.2.0-i386.pbi ... (extracting)Found these errors in the system log:
Oct 10 14:32:07 php: rc.start_packages: PBI dir for freeradius-2.2.0-i386 was not found - cannot cleanup PBI files Oct 10 14:32:09 check_reload_status: Syncing firewall Oct 10 14:32:10 php: rc.start_packages: PBI dir for freeradius-2.2.0-i386 was not found - cannot cleanup PBI files Oct 10 14:32:22 php: rc.start_packages: Reinstalling package freeradius2 failed. Take appropriate measures!!! Oct 10 14:32:24 php: rc.start_packages: Reinstalling package freeradius2 failed. Take appropriate measures!!!Tried multiple times and tried restarting the firewall. If I open a new browser window I can see FreeRADIUS2 listed under installed packages but I can't find it under the services menu. I did have some radius software before upgrading to v2.1 but it seems to got uninstalled during the upgrade?
Any suggestions on what to do?

Hi,
try DIAGNOSTICS –> BACKUP/RESTORE --> Clear Package Lock
And make sure that all freeradius dependent files in this folder are deleted:
/usr/local/pkg/ -

/usr/local/pkg/Thanks for your reply. I can't find the "clear package lock" under backup/restore. I see a button that says "reinstall packages". When I try that one it stops at:
Backing up libraries... Removing package... Starting package deletion for freeradius-2.2.0-i386...When I look in the folder I see the following files after uninstalling freeradius:

Hmm,
could be possible that this option isn't available on pfsense 2.1. I am still using 2.0.3. Perhaps it is somewhere else on the GUI - SYSTEM –> ADVANCED or somewhere else.
Can you install another package like cron successfully? If not check your pfsense DNS server.

Yep, I managed to install "file mananger" without any errors and installation was quick.
If I would do a factory default on the device using the GUI (diag -> Factory default), would that make it like a brand new installation or does it save any data from the current configuration?

are you running a full install of pfsense or du you use ebedded install or something like this?
As far as I know the installation only works without problems on a full install.
