      I'm seeing the exact same error from time to time as @asv345h since upgrading to 23.01 . I'm also running an ng-6100 running 23.01 (for info, I have a APC UPS plugged in to a USB port). Everything was fine for a year before the upgrade.

      Here is an example:

      FreeBSD 14.0-CURRENT #0 plus-RELENG_23_01-n256037-6e914874a5e: Fri Feb 10 20:30:29 UTC 2023     root@freebsd:/var/jenkins/workspace/pfSense-Plus-snapshots-23_01-main/obj/amd64/VDZvZksF/var/jenkins/workspace/pfSense-Plus-snapshots-23_01-main/sources/FreeBS

Crash report details:

PHP Errors:

      The timing of the error correlates closely with a gateway event:

          The exact same pair of php errors?

          This? https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/14061

          Is there some common config all your installs share?

              Same issue here. Seen this error twice after upgrading to 2.7.0 on July 1st.

              I also see references to Nut Package (which is installed).

              I applied the patch as referenced above, I'll report back with results.

                            Doesn't this look like PHP error after reboot ?

                            No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
                            Edit : and where are the logs ??

                              There is another change I committed a couple weeks ago that might help with that, 596a88fa42f0ac77bd2fc2be87b54457df11f64b but I'm not sure if it applies cleanly on a patched or unpatched release. You can try, though.

                              But the problem is still someone trying to do a function as a non-privileged user that should be performed by root.

                                Thanks @jimp

                                As mentioned previously, I saw this on my 6100 (with the NUT package and an APC UPS) many times when running 23.01. FYI, I never saw it with 23.05 over several months, but saw it again with 23.05.1 (coinidence?).

                                Anyway, I just installed all recommended patches plus commit 596a88fa42f0ac77bd2fc2be87b54457df11f64b and will report back if I experience this issue again.

                                      Have you only seen that one time? If you remove the error does it return? Can you trigger it repeatably?

                                        @stephenw10 it is a permanent failure. The new LE Cert is not in use because of that error.

                                          So it regenerates exactly the same error everytime the ACME cert renew script runs?

                                          And this just started happening, it didn't start after upgrading for example?

                                            @stephenw10 No, the cert is issued correctly. It is just not used anymore be the pfsense webserver. Sometimes i need to restart the webgui with /etc/rc.restart_webgui after a new cert has been issued periodically. So i did and then this error comes up. Now it comes again and again with the restart of the webgui. And after the upgrade to 23.5.01 the old cert was still in use. Only now after the new one has been issued this happens.
