(solved)24.7 Update leaves no interactable GUI

[Huskijore]

Hi,

I just tried to complete the 24.7 update and during the update it complained about not having enough space. It said to check the log, which when I tried to do yielded no landing page. I have power cycled the router and after I login, this is all I see and I can't navigate anywhere in the gui.

Hoping there is an alternative way to figure out how to proceed with the update so that all my configurations aren't lost. I didn't perform a back up (yes I should have, but I didn't), so I'm hoping not all is lost.

The router seems to be functioning just fine with internet and it's firewall rules etc.

Please see the attached photo of my opnsense landing page.

Edit: I am able to ssh into the router. Hopefully that will give me options moving forward.

SCP /conf/config.xml from the box, get some suitably sized drive, reinstall, restore configuration?

Check /tmp/PHP_errors.log just to be sure.

When I vi into /tmp/php_errors.log I see a completely blank page.

If I try and copy my config.xml to just any other space on the router it says the storage is full. So I'm guessing downloading all the files for the update filled the entire storage of the router and that is why it can't load up the gui pages.

I'm currently formatting a usb drive that I will keep attached to my router to expand it's storage capabilities. I will report back if the copy / restore works and if I can manually update from SSH with more storage.

Do NOT copy it to other place of the router. Make a backup on yuur computer! Also, you cannot expand anything by adding USB sticks. (At least not in an easy/meaningful way.)

The file system is case sensitive...

# cat /tmp/PHP_errors.log

I removed a bunch of log files that were taking up a ton of space. I then was able to update and restore my configuration file. Thanks for both your help!
