Title: Custom pacakge - Web UI menus doesn't show [SOLVED]
Post by: juliocbc on October 11, 2018, 12:38:08 am

Hello,

I've have some custom packages that don't show on Menu (Web UI) immediatelly after installation. I've noted if a reboot is done these menus loads OK. I was using those packages on 16.x versions, is there something that needed to be done on 18.7 to load the menus in Web UI?

I've noted that if I remove the cache file: /tmp/opnsense_menu_cache.xml solves the problem, but I want to do it in a "clean way"

That's the way how to do it. In case of an update / installation this is done automatically.

But it is an installation, right? I'm installing this packages using

Code: [Select]

pkg add , is there some another way to install and reload this menu cache?

Run this:

# /usr/local/etc/rc.configure_plugins

Your old plugins have embedded +POST_INSTALL and +PRE_DEINSTALL scripts and when you don't rebuild them on 18.7 they do not know about the new cool scripts to call! :)


Cheers,
Franco
