Error when trying to Create a Firewall Schedule

tylergl

I get this error when I try and create a firewall schedule. Also I just upgraded to 2.4.4. I have never used the firewall schedules and wanted to try a few thing with it. The error happens immediately after clicking the Add button on the schedules. Anyone have any fixes for this?

Hello, same error here when trying to write a schedule for my kids.

I received too a similar error when I experimented with firewall schedules.
It arises if after setup of parameters (time range) not to save data, but refresh the page in the browser and/or go into other section.
Reboot doesn't help.
How to correct it:
I downloaded a configuration backup, however in it about schedules didn't find any mentioning. Then I on other pfSense VM created one schedule, downloaded a configuration from this pfSense (backup config), found appropriate section, copied it in the backup config from my pfSense by notepad++ and uploaded a configuration back into my pfSense.
After that the corresponding records appeared in the section Firewall/Schedules, and the Add button also stops causing a error.
Possibly, matter in some temp file which remains in system and a script incorrectly processes it...
As the config backup section looks (it is possible to take directly from here):

<schedules>
	<schedule>
		<name>night_time</name>
		<descr></descr>
		<timerange>
			<position>1,2,3,4,5,6,7</position>
			<hour>0:00-6:59</hour>
			<rangedescr></rangedescr>
		</timerange>
		<schedlabel>5bb68c32295d8</schedlabel>
	</schedule>
</schedules>

Good luck)

Hello,

Today, I tried to create a schedule. I created and deleted, wanted to create a new one, it gives an en error:

It has been fixed in 2.4.3p1 version?

It's the exact same error that others in the thread posted, and if you look at the link in the post just above yours, you'll see that it has been fixed.

@emammadov Hello, you have to modify the php code, in firewall_schedule.php and firewall_schedule_edit.php, see the link https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/9009#change-38860
In Pfsense, go to Diagnostic ---> Edit Files ---> Browse ---> /src/usr/local/www/firewall_schedule.php and modify the appropriate lines of codes, do the same for the firewall_schedule_edit.php, save and re-check.

Thank you.
