          @Anry well I would prob fix that - you have never renewed your gui cert? But that has nothing to do with the problem.

          I am unable to duplicate your problem - but a complete reinstall seems like a sledge hammer to kill a fly.

          I would export your aliases xml.. just so you have a copy of what you had.

          Then delete them all.. And try from a clean slate for aliases.. Making sure after you delete them all that your export of xml is clean.

          I even fired up my copy of 2.8 - and aliases working fine.

            are two individual IPs.

            This looks like a IP "range" :

            fb829e24-a00e-4639-9c02-18ec5a4556b5-image.png

            From 10.100.6.4 to 10.100.66.24.

            Rapid solution :
            Enter them individually ( 😊 )

            Edit : and where are the logs ??

              @Gertjan you wouldn't do a range like that, range would be like this.

              range.jpg

              Then it would create the individual entries on its own. Not sure what the issue is, but I am unable to duplicate it..

              The only thing comes to mind is space in there? But I tried that putting a space in front and after the IP and still works fine.

              My guess would be browser doing something with it it shouldn't be - but he says he tried different browsers.

                I have two more systems where pfsense is used. On all three systems everything worked without problems. After updating to the latest version, two systems work without errors and only one has a problem.
                I compared the list and sizes of files on the pfsense website.
                I found no differences. Perhaps there are other places where I could not look and check. Now I am trying to figure out the problem. It would be interesting to hear from the developer where to look. After all, it turns out that the IP address verification and conversion template does not work. I think that this is the same function that works when entering a new list and when displaying an existing one.
                Tell me in which PHP file is this described?

                  If all your pfSense boxes use the same version, then PHP is also the same.
                  Actually, identical pfSense version contain the same 'binaries' (PHP, etc).
                  If it works for one box, it should work for the other. And I know, this is not very helpful ...

                    @Anry said in Alias error:

                    The contents of aliases are not displayed.

                    One of your host alias got a description in Russian. Can you try remove it. It shouldn't matter at all but just trying to find what's is different.

                    I tried with a 2.8.0 clean install and with 2.8.0 upgrade from 2.7.2 and on Linux with Firefox and Chromium. No luck yet.

                    Any browser extensions installed?

                      This looks like a IP "range" :

                      That's how multiple IPs are listed in the xml file. (I had to look)

                      Putting in my "programmer hat" I would guess there is some other alias or entry in the config file that is invalid and causing problems. Non-standard characters, maybe. Maybe, drag/drop the file into a browser window or XML parser, since at least Firefox will read/display the XML.

                      Pre-2.7.2/23.09: Only install packages for your version, or risk breaking it. Select your branch in System/Update/Update Settings.
                      When upgrading, allow 10-15 minutes to restart, or more depending on packages and device speed.

                        In general, as my friend said, seven troubles - one reset. The situation was corrected by reinstalling the system and restoring the configuration. This can be written down as a solution to the problem.
