[RESOLVED] 2.2.6 to 2.3 beta upgrade full install package issues
-
Is this on nanobsd? a full install? a full install with /tmp and /var in RAM?
-
Full install and tmp and var not in RAM
-
When I upgrade to newer snaps or reinstall any package I get errors of pfsense database errors like it doesn't exist so need to recreate etc but multiple reboots also don't solve it, is there a way to manually delete this read only or locked database and recreate it because other than this the firewall works all good and the upgrade went all good
-
i tried clearing the /var/db/pkg folder but it seems the DB gets locked because the pkg update runs for ever and keeps it locked, anyway to kill the pkg update so can do a fresh start of package reinstall?
update
i cleared tge /var/db/pkg folder, rebooted and then pkg update didnt run then was able to install squid and cron but now when i goto squid config page and hit save it keeps going for ever and squid wont run so need to find a way to fix that now
-
i had to delete the squid cache after which only squid started working but if i goto squid settings and hit save on any page the page never refreshes and timeouts (504 Gateway Time-out)
update
after being able to atleast run squid, if i now try to update the system from console option 13 i get this
pkg: No package(s) matching pfSense-kernel-* >>> Updating repositories metadata... Updating pfSense-core repository catalogue... pfSense-core repository is up-to-date. Updating pfSense repository catalogue... pfSense repository is up-to-date. All repositories are up-to-date. return: Illegal number: -1 Your packages are up to dateanyway i can manually install this kernel so can fix the issues caused by clearing the /var/db/pkg folder?

What does "pkg info" show?
Try something like this:
pkg update -f pkg install -f pfSense -
pkg info shows below, trying the other commands

i tried the pkg install -f pfsense and it installed everything but it seems the system is in more mess as whenever i login into console using SSH i get a ton of lines saying warning module xxxx already loaded
is there any way i can update the system to latest snap using the upgrade from file method used in 2.2.6 etc to come back to a factory state without having to to reinstall as this machine is thousands of kms away
-
No, there is not a way to reapply an old style firmware.
Most likely it is fine now, though the extensions.ini may need some cleanup. I don't think our code would clean up after that sort of mess.
Try this:
sort -u /usr/local/etc/php/extensions.ini > /tmp/extensions.ini mv /tmp/extensions.ini /usr/local/etc/php/extensions.ini -
thanks, that fixed the warnings but option 13 to update still gives issues
Enter an option: 13 pkg: No package(s) matching pfSense-kernel-* -
try this:
pkg install -f pfSense-kernel-pfSense -
after that even option 13 gives
Enter an option: 13 >>> Updating repositories metadata... Updating pfSense-core repository catalogue... pfSense-core repository is up-to-date. Updating pfSense repository catalogue... pfSense repository is up-to-date. All repositories are up-to-date. return: Illegal number: -1 Your packages are up to date -
You would be up-to-date until a new snap comes out – the pkg install commands would have pulled the latest from the repo. Give it a bit until a new update comes out and then see what happens.

Tried this locally, breaking the pkg db intentionally, and this got things going again:
/bin/mkdir -p /var/db/pkg/ /root/var/db/pkg/ /usr/sbin/pkg update -f /usr/sbin/pkg install -yf pkg pfSense pfSense-kernel-pfSense sort -u /usr/local/etc/php/extensions.ini > /tmp/extensions.ini mv /tmp/extensions.ini /usr/local/etc/php/extensions.ini -
i tried today option 13 and it did update the system so seems fine now but saving in squid causes the page to timeout. i tried clearing squid cache, reinstalling but its same still, what could be wrong, no errors come up in log even
-
even after updating to latest snap the dashboard says this
2.3-BETA (i386) built on Tue Mar 01 05:40:01 CST 2016 FreeBSD 10.3-BETA3also when i try to install pfsense-kernel-pfsense pkg i keep getting this, the first time it installed but now it says the below
Updating pfSense-core repository catalogue... pfSense-core repository is up-to-date. Updating pfSense repository catalogue... pfSense repository is up-to-date. All repositories are up-to-date. pkg: No packages available to install matching 'pfSense-kernel-pfSense' have been found in the repositories -
any snap update still doesnt increment the build on date so no idea if its even updating, but in summary i think upgrades from 2.2.6 to 2.3 with packages installed would be deadly, other than packages the system updates just fine.
-
just an addition to this, the dashboard wasnt showing proper build dates and some of the GUI components were not updating, i even did a gitsync, the thing that resolved all that was by using the below modified commands given by jimp, use this if u messed up the pkg db or deleted the db during upgrade from 2.2.6 to 2.3 on a full install, hope it helps others
/bin/mkdir -p /var/db/pkg/ /root/var/db/pkg/ /usr/sbin/pkg update -f /usr/sbin/pkg install -yf pkg pfSense pfSense-kernel-pfSense pfSense-base pfSense-default-config sort -u /usr/local/etc/php/extensions.ini > /tmp/extensions.ini mv /tmp/extensions.ini /usr/local/etc/php/extensions.inithis even gets rid of the below message during option 13 from console
return: Illegal number: -1it even fixes GUI update saying cant retrieve system version
-
For me, the above fixes the ability to update through option 13.
The webgui still says that it is not able to check for updates and the build information shows "built on Tue Mar 01 23:43:51 CST 2016" allthough it did update.
The problems for me started when I enabled the ramdrives, so no update from an older version. -
there is a redmine related to ramdisk so no idea if the above would solve that, installing the pfsense-base package solved the GUI not showing updates for me.
u can run the above commands again and see if it solves for u, it wont harm the system but if something is broken it might fix it
