Syntax error in config file

wallabybob · Jan 28, 2009, 9:52 PM

I recently "upgraded" to 1.2.3-20090128-0504 from 1.2.1.

Soon after startup Status -> System logs -> System shows a couple of entries:

php: : New alert found: There were error(s) loading the rules: /tmp/rules.debug:153: syntax error pfctl: Syntax error in config file: pf rules not loaded The line in question reads [153]: pass in quick on $lan route-to ( 192.168.37.200 ) from 192.168.211.128/25 to 192.168.37.192/28 keep state label "USER_RULE: LAN and DMZ"

and I can't get web access to the WAN. I edited the corresponding rule to disable it, saved the rule, clicked apply changes and the rules were apparently loaded without problem and I had web access to the WAN.

What interface does 192.168.37.200 reside on?

@cmb:

192.168.37.200 is a router on the 192.168.37.192/28 network. The pfSense interface to this network has address 192.168.37.197.

The rule in question was unchanged from 1.2.1 days.

I mean what interface to the OS, Ethernet or VLAN or PPPoE, or?

Currently its ethernet using udav0 (USB to Ethernet adapter). No VLAN or PPPOE

Most likely could not lookup the cached interface. Adding code to log an error for this condition.
