Yup what is coming from that file and yours is empty.
I agree, try deleting the file and see if it's regenerated.
-
@stephenw10 I deleted it. Waiting to reboot.
-
File was not created on reboot.
-
It wasn't created on reboot, and I just noticed that /var/dhcpd/var/db/dhcpd6.leases is also a zeroed out file. I wonder if I have a bad stick of RAM.
-
And that removed the error I assume?
Any guess what combination of settings created that file without content? I'll try to replicate it.
-
It's not the file that is zeroed out, the /var/dhcpd/var/db/dhcpd6.leases is too.
It maybe bad RAM.
I was having a bunch of problems with multicast working and I am sure that I changed something that I shouldn't have, in my frustration and after hours of messing with it, my network started to fall apart as in I couldn't communicate with other lans and everything was going very slowly, even loading the diag page too seconds, so I said the hell with it and restored my backup from right after the update to 23.05.01, that was on the 15th. Yesterday/early this morning, I say IPv6 traffic and I went to go check the networking page to make sure it was off and that is when I found the error.Yes, the error is gone now.

That's another animal.
Created by the DHCP IPv6 server, who servers IPv6 leases on your LANs for the devices that want to do IPv6 networking.Again : what is the time stamp of the file ?
Maybe you had the DHCP v6 servers active on your LANs in the past ?You can delete this file.
This file is a scrath pad for the DHCP v6 server process, so it knows, even after a power down, and power up, what device had what lease when.
And it permits to show in the GUI all the DHCPv6 leases handed out. -

Oh, joy. just found this minor issue. However, I am tired and I need to take a break from sitting here for a bit. Been sitting here for going on 11 hours.
Crash report begins.

That's just exhausting the php process limit. Likely you accidentally tried to open a large binary file or similar. I wouldn't expect to see that again.

You asked the GUI to load a file that was a bit more then 218 Mbytes. The total available memory of PHP ran dry.
Use the console, or far better : the SSH access. -
Yes, to both of you guys. I was tired and just trying to get things done. I made a backup in the UI and it was larger than I had thought it would be.
Wanted to thank all of you for your help, and let you know I was/am not meaning to be rude. I wasn't able to get on yesterday, as my central air went out and as I don't have just over $12k to replace it, I had to do what I could to get it running again. Took about 7 straight hours.
As for my firewall, I have not messed with it anymore, as I just haven't had the time. I cannot reproduce the issue, so I cannot submit it as a bug report. I am sure it is something stupid I did, while up all night after playing COD or something like that. When I first got my box, I had only the basic understanding of python, very basic, and had forgotten most of php, and the networking I did was 20 plus years ago. So it's been a bit of a challenge for me. You all have been VERY helpful, and again, thank you!
