About a week ago I attempted an upgrade from 25.1 from the GUI, upon reboot I would receive a php error right after the firewall started loading. I then downloaded a new image to USB and did a fresh install and restore and I was back up and running. Today I noticed that some of my plugins wont update until I update OPNsense version. I again attempted this , but again i would receive an error when the firewall was loading. Luckily i had a snapshot and I reverted back to a working condition. How can I find out what this is occurring? How large should the config.xml be. Am I allowed to post my xml to have someone take a look. Should I do a factory reset, upgrade, and then restore? I am lost ...
Thanks for confirming my fears. 25 does more and more sound like a FUBARed release.
There is no place for fancy ideas in router business. They have to work, period. 25 is all fancy hat no cattle.
