PHP error updating SYNC tab pfBlocker
-
Good afternoon,
When I try to add a host to synchronize pfBlocker with other appliances, upon saving, I encounter this error, which I reproduce below:

Despite my searches, I haven't found anything, and the OpenVPN certificate isn't working because no password seems to function.

Looks like you found this open bug for it: https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/15157
-
@dcuadrados said in PHP error updating SYNC tab pfBlocker:
'pfSense is rest...'
It looks like in all those cases the error shown is actually generated by the notice and that notice is 'pfSense is restoring the configuration .....'
Which implies that whatever you're doing there is some how generating an invalid config.Try first saviong the notifications page in Sys > Adv > Notifications so that your config file has a notifications section. See if that prevents that error. If so you might see the actual error causing the bad config.
-
@stephenw10 Nothing, the same problem :(
-
Good afternoon, I have an update. I have noticed that if I don't use certain characters, such as Ñ and others, in both the Client Export and the SYNC tab of pfBlocker, in both password fields (certificate and firewall to which I want to synchronize the configuration), the error does not occur. Can anyone shed some light on this?
-
Ah, that's a nice catch!
When you saved the notifications page were you able to check that it actually created a notifications section in the config file?
Also is that the OpenVPN Client Export I assume?
-
Ok I replicated that by including an invalid character in the password field for a pfBlocker sync host. Digging...
-
OK this is caused by the fact that the config file is not available when the notification is generated creating that php error.
However you should see the actual error in the system logs like:

@stephenw10 Now, without using special characters, it works fine. I have a firewall that replicates the configuration of pfBlocker to another, and I use passwords like 0id{FhIKAKln'd*bL.{Ñ, which I generate with a Python script. When I use that password in both the certificate export and the admin of the firewalls where I dump the configuration, the error occurs. However, if I use a password like @.2j7_Rs@-24k, it works fine without any issues and doesn't generate the error.

Yup, that will require a different bug ticket. We are just discussing how to handle both issues.
