24.03-DEVELOPMENT - PHP Fatal error: Uncaught ValueError: range(): Argument #3

[N0m0fud]

Here is the error I get multiple times a day:

PHP ERROR: Type: 1, File: /usr/local/www/pkg_mgr_install.php, Line: 103, Message: Uncaught TypeError: be_active_name(): Argument #1 ($handle) must be of type LibbeHandle, false given in /usr/local/www/pkg_mgr_install.php:103

thrown @ 2024-02-26 12:11:33

And:

PHP ERROR: Type: 1, File: /usr/local/www/pfblockerng/pfblockerng_category_edit.php, Line: 391, Message: Uncaught ValueError: range(): Argument #3 ($step) must be greater than 0 for increasing ranges in /usr/local/www/pfblockerng/pfblockerng_category_edit.php:391
Stack trace:
#0 /usr/local/www/pfblockerng/pfblockerng_category_edit.php(391): range(1, 17, -1)
#1 {main}
thrown

This is on the latest build

[N0m0fud]

Here is the actual line of code that is throwing the error:

$options_suppression_cidr = [ 'Disabled' => 'Disabled' ] + array_combine(range(1, 17, -1), range(1, 17, -1));

[N0m0fud]

And this line:

$list = array('Disabled' => 'Disabled') + array_combine(range(1, 17, -1), range(1, 17, -1));

Changing both instances to:

$list = array('Disabled' => 'Disabled') + array_combine(range(1, 17, 1), range(1, 17, 1));

Fixed the issue and allows editing, etc,

[N0m0fud]

And the DNSBL block stats are working as expected!!!

@N0m0fud Thanks. Unfortunately I'm running into the same problem with the newest 24.03 build and this fix did not work for me - even after a fresh pfBlockerNG or pfBlockerNG-dev install with no previous saves settings. The minute I try to add an IP category I get those same two errors - both on lines 391.

@N0m0fud I can confirm that the problem still exists in "24.03-RC (amd64) built on Tue Apr 16 2:05:00 CEST 2024" with pfBlockerNG-devel 3.2.0_9

but the suggested fix on lines 391 and 1517 still works fine.

[Bob.Dig]

Problem still exists after the final Plus release. Is someone capable to create or show a system patch?

@pst At first sight, this seems to work. Thank you so much!

[SwissSteph]

Hello everyone,

I have the same problem. Just a question for the patch creation, is it necessary to copy ALL the text or only a part ... because I have the same problem if I put the totality of the text above.

Help!

[pst]

@SwissSteph I have updated my post, is it clearer now?

[SwissSteph]

@pst

Thank you for your reply.

I was right... BUT I have a big spit next if I want to edit

With or without the patch I get the same error

EDIT

I finally followed the very clear information from "graphene" in this post

https://forum.netgate.com/topic/187604/24-03-r-20240416-0005-unable-to-add-an-ipv4-entry-to-the-pfblockerng-configuration/6

and manually edited the two lines by removing the "-" before the "1".

It's all good, no more crashes when editing a line.

That looks perfect.

Did you press Apply after adding the patch in System Patches? It doesn't get applied just by adding it. The patch is the same code as you manually edited so it should have worked, if applied. The system patch works for me, and others.

@pst

precisely ... no "apply" button, very strange indeed

@pst

I really suck ... and am very sorry to have taken up your time unnecessarily by poor handling and understanding on my part!!!!

Thank you for understanding my error put forward where I had made a mistake.

[pst]

@SwissSteph No worries :)

[SwissSteph]

@pst

To make something "clean", I re-edited the two lines, put all the "-" in front of the "1".

Created a "patch" with YOUR very clear instructions (thanks again!) and "applied" this patch.

So I confirm that your corrections also work very well for me.

THANKS
