That is so after your run the upgrader you can see any code changes if any that the tool makes.

@@toggenation I'm using upgrade tool particulary to upgrade from 4.5 to 5.x. But I get an error: Call to undefined method Cake\Upgrade\Application::pluginEvents() in /upgrade/vendor/cakephp/console/CommandRunner.php

You can try to manually install the agent github.com/Azure/WALinuxAgent/ Plan B is just take a snaphot and test if you can restore to a new VM and it runs OK

Not sure how similar pfSense is to opnSense but this is how I got the agent running in opnSense toggen.com.au/it-tips/getting-the-azure-agent-running-in-opnsense/

Yes! 2FA on a shoestring. Love it!

You can pull in either PHPMailer or SwiftMailer and create an email with attachments. See => kzbin.info/www/bejne/omjLdKJ8ap2tiq8

Thank you

Same thing. Anyone manage to install the agent?

No worries. Good to have some DIY options in Azure.

Hi @GermanJet5, No I'm not planning to do a course. I tend to post stuff I've found interesting personally and hopefully useful to others. I feel I lack the skill depth to create something truly compelling for CakePHP in course format.

Aweseom r.j. I'm glad you got a good result... This video is rough and unedited but it gives the general idea.

A way of figuring out how to get the agent to install would be to check the Microsoft official FreeBSD Images as they have the agent installed already learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/linux/freebsd-intro-on-azure#overview Some tweaking required I would imagine

This is for opnSense but may work for pfSense toggen.com.au/it-tips/getting-the-azure-agent-running-in-opnsense/

Hi @Reinnyny, Have you got your config/permissions.php file in place? I had a typo when creating the video so check for typos.

Yes, I have the same issue and have spent hours troubleshooting it.

On Netgate forums people write that this is intended by Netgate to push pfsense plus in azure. I have spent hours trying to reach the packet manager. I don't even know if there are other functions that don't work.

Same issue here, has anyone figured it out?

@@zax123 I just uploaded the latest CE build and have the same issue in Azure. I'm pretty confident that Netgate is blocking connections from Azure Source IPs unless you're running Plus. My next test was going to be to force the default route from the Azure PFSense to an "on-prem" gateway so it sources from a different IP range to confirm this. NOTE: OPNSense doesn't have this issue.

I found a post on the Netgate forums that also had a solution. It has to do with pfSense-repoc and pfSense-repoc-static deleting the content of the pfSense repos folder. Renaming them and creating an empty file to replace them stops them. It seems I can't post the link here, KZbin doesn't like it, but the thread is named _"Branch" dropdown empty, /usr/local/etc/pfSense/pkg/repos/ empty - 2.7.2 CE_

Hi, I use the PHP Intelephense extension with VS Code the @var ... is so I can get editor hinting and auto complete working. I find it easier to let the IDE do the work and not my memory 😃

Hi, No migrations are just for managing your database schema. You can ignore any reference to migrations when you do the upgrade. But if you have to tweak the database as you upgrade or continue to develop your app migrations are handy to capture the history of changes.

Glad it helped ;)

Thanks :)

Thanks for pointing to that PHPUnit migration guide Kevin I could have saved myself some hassle if I had of followed it. book.cakephp.org/5/en/appendices/phpunit10.html

I hear you. I have upgraded one production application from 2,3,4 and now 5... And it's rarely as simple as this video, especially with a heap of different plugins. I think it's getting easier though and I always find the documentation CakePHP produces very helpful

If you have lost contact with the WAN interface side. Then bring up a VM in the backend and check if you can still access the WebGUI and SSH from the LAN interface. I usually just put a linux VM in the backend and try curl ip_of_your_lan_interface:port or ssh ip_of_your_lan_interface. If that is the case then you may have an issue with your custom Anti-Lockout rule: 16:55 Add custom Anti-Lockout rule to WAN interface before adding LAN interface But if I understand you correctly you are losing connectivity after a reboot so it may be something I'm not aware of. If you can access the serial console you can reset the pfsense back to defaults and then re-check everything including making sure your inbound ports are listed in the WAN interface Network Security Group.

@@toggenation Hello, Thank you for your answer. I contacted Netgate support Team, and they solve the problem by modifying the hyperv.conf (I'm on Azure environment). I had this problem without any modification after the first boot. But now it solved, and your video was a great help to configure our PfSense, thanks a lot again !

Yes you can delete the WAN Interface NSG as the pfSense is the firewall. Probably a bit annoying to have 2 levels of firewalling there.

@@toggenation Hi james, I runned a few tests: if using a "standard public ip" it needs a "network security group" otherwhise, if you remove the "network security group" it blocks all the traffic. from the documentation isung a "basic public ip" it works even without "network security group". hope it helps

Seeing as pfSense is the firewall put an allow any rule into the Network Security Group on the WAN interface with Source Any, Source Port Ranges * (Any), Destination Any, Destination Port Ranges * (Any) And add a ICMP any if you want to get a ping reply from the firewall too.

Hey Lucas, Thanks for your kind words and good advice of how I could improve. I haven't got the knack of video editing yet so I pretty much do a go - to - woah run through. I will try to cross - reference my other content in future. I know what you mean as I sometimes think I wish I could remember which video has something similar or related in it. I appreciate your feedback.
