      Hi,

      I am running the latest release of pfsense, and just installed pfBlocker, but it was never able to start:

      php: rc.filter_configure_sync: The command '/usr/local/pkg/pf/IP-Blocklist.sh start' returned exit code '2', the output was 'not running root: IP-Blocklist was found not running Status: 404 Not Found Content-type: text/html No input file specified. 0 table deleted. 0 table deleted. /usr/local/pkg/pf/IP-Blocklist.sh: cannot create /usr/local/www/packages/ipblocklist/file_list.txt: No such file or directory /usr/local/pkg/pf/IP-Blocklist.sh: cannot create /usr/local/www/packages/ipblocklist/file_Wlist.txt: No such file or directory cat: /usr/local/www/packages/ipblocklist/file_list.txt: No such file or directory cat: /usr/local/www/packages/ipblocklist/file_Wlist.txt: No such file or directory rm: /usr/local/www/packages/ipblocklist/lists/ipfw.ipfwTEMP: No such file or directory /usr/local/pkg/pf/IP-Blocklist.sh: cannot create /usr/local/www/packages/ipblocklist/lists/ipfw.ipfwTEMP: No such file or directory /usr/bin/sort: open failed: /usr/local/www/packages/ipblocklist/lists/ipfw.ipfw: No
      , with errors complaining about a missing directory ipblocklist, which I created manually, then it complained about lists and Wlists, created them. Eventually, it just fails to start with the following error (running it from the console) :

      __not running
      admin: IP-Blocklist was found not running
      Status: 404 Not Found
      Content-type: text/html

      No input file specified.
      1 table deleted.
      1 table deleted.
      Can't open perl script "/usr/local/www/packages/ipblocklist/convert.pl": No such file or directory
      rm: /usr/local/www/packages/ipblocklist/lists/ipfw.ipfwTEMP: No such file or directory
      rm: /usr/local/www/packages/ipblocklist/Wlists/whitelistTEMP: No such file or directory
      rm: /tmp/rules.debug.tmp: No such file or directory
      rm: /tmp/rules.debug.tmp: No such file or directory
      0

      cat: /usr/local/www/packages/ipblocklist/interfaces.txt: No such file or directory__

      All what I am getting now on the log tab: root:
      IP-Blocklist was found not running

      Tried to uninstall and install but no luck.

      Thanks in advance,

      Dan
