Bandwithd not working after update

dark.fibre

Hi,
we are running several pfsenses in different setups, all with bandwithd (2.0.1_5 pkg v.0.2).
Last week we made 2 updates to: 2.1-RELEASE (i386). On these updated installations bandwithd doesn´t work: it says:"Please start bandwidthd to populate this directory. " .
Restarting bandwithd shows no result.
Did anyone see this issue before? Is the package not running on pfsense 2.1?

Thanks for any idea, best wishes from Cologne.

I have the same problem, libraries are missing.

ldd /usr/pbi/bandwidthd-i386/bandwidthd/bandwidthd
/usr/pbi/bandwidthd-i386/bandwidthd/bandwidthd:
	libpq.so.5 => not found (0x0)
	libpcap.so.1 => not found (0x0)
	libgd.so.4 => not found (0x0)
	libpng15.so.15 => /usr/local/lib/libpng15.so.15 (0x2809a000)
	libiconv.so.3 => /usr/local/lib/libiconv.so.3 (0x280c5000)
	libm.so.5 => /lib/libm.so.5 (0x281bd000)
	libc.so.7 => /lib/libc.so.7 (0x281d7000)
	libz.so.5 => /lib/libz.so.5 (0x282e2000)

header files are included in /usr/pbi/bandwidthd-i386/include but cannot find the compiled libs

I am having the same problem after updating from 2.0.3 to 2.1. I have removed and re-installed the package. I have removed the packaged, rebooted the firewall, then installed bandwidthd again, then rebooted again. This problem is with Bandwidthd 2.0.1_5 pkg v.0.2 as well.

I have tried to disable and enable bandiwdthd.

Error 1, getting the wrong netmask:

Nov 20 22:57:20 bandwidthd: Monitoring subnet 172.20.15.0 with netmask 172.20.15.0
Nov 20 22:57:20 bandwidthd: Monitoring subnet 172.20.10.0 with netmask 172.20.10.0
Nov 20 22:57:20 bandwidthd: Monitoring subnet 172.20.1.0 with netmask 172.20.1.0

Error 2, no matching processes:

Nov 20 22:57:18 php: /pkg_edit.php: The command '/usr/local/etc/rc.d/bandwidthd.sh stop' returned exit code '1', the output was 'No matching processes were found'

When opening bandwidthd, it gives me this error:

Please start bandwidthd to populate this directory.

I have this working in many clean install 2.1 environments. The 2.0.3 to 2.1 upgrade just broke it somehow.

Please help!

@individual-it - how did we fix that missing libraries thing on the system with that problem? and did we work out what was the cause?
I just tried a bandwidthd package install on a fresh 2.1-RELEASE system and it worked fine.

I have the same problem after I upgraded. Is there any resolution to this?

Running:

pfSense 2.1
bandwidthd 2.0.1_5 pkg v.0.3

My solution was.

[root@pfsense /usr/local/www]# rm bandwidthd
[root@pfsense /usr/local/www]# ln -s /usr/local/bandwidthd/htdocs/ bandwidthd

The symlink was originally pointing to /usr/pbi/bandwidthd-i386/bandwidthd/htdocs

This worked for me, Bandwidthd failed after upgrading pfsense to 2.1.1-RELEASE back working again.

Good to hear. I don't know how this error slipped into the bandwidthd package.

Hmm…

This did not help for me.

It replaced my "Please start bandwidthd to populate this directory." message with a "404 - Not Found" page :(

Any suggestions?

Never mind, I was being an idiot.

Looks like this was fixed, but I was getting th emessage because I actually DID forget to start bandwidth d. Then I moved the symlink to the - now - incorrect location.

I found the correct one in /usr/pbi/bandwidthd-amd64/bandwidthd/htdocs/, and recreated the symlink and now everything works. :p

Ahh I see. Well I hope I put you on the right track with my post.
