Settings clean up ?
-
Hello
I was trying to set up and WG and added a new interface called "WireGuard" and got an error that that name was already used.
I suspect that it was the name I used before WG was removed from 2.5.1. and also suspect that removal of WG settings was incomplete.
That prompted my question - is there a way to clean up XML settings from dead entries ?
Thx

Not automatically. You can just search the config.xml file though.

This is tricky - how find out what is dead lines in config.xml file ?
This is rhetorical, mumbling aloud ;)

@chudak Download notepad++ and switch the language to xml.
You’ll see the headers for stuff you can remove.

Yes, always try to use an editor that understands xml if you're modifying the config directly.
Avoids obvious typos which are all too easy. Ask me how I know!

How do you know @stephenw10 ? :)

You only have to upload a config file manually without checking the xml was valid one time. The pain will teach you not to do that again.

Oh I know about the pain to make errors in XML
That's why I asked initial question :)
What's interesting that I don't see interface dead entry in this XML, so maybe unrelated
Thx
