PHP Error

Hello,

Today I suddenly got an email that shows php error has occured in pfsense. I looked at pfsense gui and shows the following error. It was working okay till now without any problem.

Crash report begins. Anonymous machine information:

That would have to be a code run by hand on Diagnostics > Command Prompt. Not a bug in the base code.

Did you run any commands from there? Anything copy/pasted into the PHP box, perhaps?

emammadov

yes, I run a command this command "tcpdump with -e" from this post
https://forum.netgate.com/topic/136945/firewall-logs-wan-source-ip-0-0-0-0-blocked/26
and saw it took too long, then I stopped.

jimp

That's what it was then. Don't run commands there that won't stop. Without a specific byte count that will run forever.

Either run form a shell prompt or if you're just doing a packet capture like that, use Diagnostics > Packet Capture. If you set it to show full detail it will show you the ethernet addresses you get from -e.

emammadov

first I run "tcpdump" and then stopped run tcpdump -e.

I should run "tcpdump -e", right?

Do I need restart pfsense, just in case?

jimp

You should never run tcpdump from Diagnostics > Command Prompt.

Just use Diagnostics > Packet Capture.

If you need to do something with tcpdump that can't be done there, use an ssh or console shell.

Thank you very much. I do nothing more. Will this error appear again? I got 2 emails of it.

jimp

It shouldn't, unless you run some other command that has a similar effect.

emammadov

Thank you very much.
