PHP error log - Had to reboot

[Wylbur]

@stephenw10

I have put on No patches at all.

But I will take your advice and put on these patches as soon as I can. Probably sometime this weekend.

Forgot to update. Patches on. Also enabled SNORT.

[stephenw10]

Are you still seeing that error regenerated?

Intermittently. Finally found a dual port Intel based adapter -- will get it next week.

It seems related to a web site that is using PHP and has a problem. May just be a coincidence.

I think you need to check what's actually on line 1316 in /etc/inc/util.inc. You might have some file corruption.
It's hard to see how that error would happen in the expected file contents.

Sorry for the delay.

I have not seen that PHP error lately. But if I go back to that PHP based web site, it might trigger it again (I have no idea why).

I can't see a way to get the info via gui. So I'm going to need to get some time to get a monitor and keyboard to the comm closet so I can do the CLI stuff (which I'm just OK with). I'm not a real Linux admin. And then, I have to find a way to capture the output to post it here.

Meanwhile/BTW -- I was able to get a 2 port 1GB Intel adapter and get it installed and configured. So far so good.

And I have SNORT running (got a non-commercial key for testing).

Which site is that? Visiting some website shouldn't make any difference to anything happening in pfSense.

You can just open the file ( /etc/inc/util.inc) in Diag > File Edit and then go to the line directly.

Thanks, I had missed that handy little tool in Diagnostics:

Here is what it contains, and I may have gone a bit further than needed, but I wanted to get to what I thought would be end of stanza/paragraph (how ever it is called -- BTW - what language is this?)

foreach ($ports as $port) {
	if (($kflc) && (strpos($port, '#') === 0)) {	// Keep Full Line Comments (lines beginning with #).
		$comments[] = $port;
	} else if (is_portrange($port)) {
		list($begin, $end) = explode(":", $port);
		if ($begin > $end) {
			$aux = $begin;
			$begin = $end;
			$end = $aux;
		}
		for ($i = $begin; $i <= $end; $i++) {
			if (!in_array($i, $uniq)) {
				$uniq[] = $i;
			}
		}
	} else if (is_port($port)) {
		if (!in_array($port, $uniq)) {
			$uniq[] = $port;
		}
	}
}
sort($uniq, SORT_NUMERIC);

$result = array();
foreach ($uniq as $idx => $port) {
	if ($idx == 0) {
		$result[] = $port;
		continue;
	}

	$last = end($result);
	if (is_portrange($last)) {
		list($begin, $end) = explode(":", $last);
	} else {
		$begin = $end = $last;
	}

	if ($port == ($end+1)) {
		$end++;
		$result[count($result)-1] = "{$begin}:{$end}";
	} else {
		$result[] = $port;
	}
}

return array_merge($comments, $result);

}

It's PHP.

Hmm, that line looks to be as expected:
https://github.com/pfsense/pfsense/blob/RELENG_2_7_0/src/etc/inc/util.inc#L1316

In which case that error really doesn't make sense.

Are you still seeing it regenerated? And only when you visit some specific page?

I haven't seen it since I put on the maint patches, come to think of it. Hmmmmm.

I'll post back if I see it again. I do tend to review the logs every few days.
