[RESOLVED]URL alias problem
-
PF version is pfSense-2.0-BETA1-20100419-1943
After adding url alias ,web ui disappeared.
Screeshot attached.

Were you using it for the intended function, which is to download aliases from a file on a web server? Of course, even if you did misinterpret the purpose, it probably needs to be able to detect that the file wasn't a list of aliases.
If it was that you misinterpreted what it was for, I'm still unsure of why it would cause this, though.
-
I only add http://www.google.com as URL from firewall>aliases and apply,and then it's happened.
-
So it is as I suspected. This is not what the option was intended for. I'm fairly sure this is for downloading aliases, not for having an alias that points to a URL. This case maybe should be handled with some way of detecting whether the file actually contains aliases (or at least the description needs to be a bit more clear). The format is probably the same as the bulk alias import page, so they could probably use the same validation (if they have any).

Ok thank you for your attention,now it's very clearer ,its link to bulk alias import.
Now the question ,how bring back web UI?:D
-
If you have access to SSH or the system's console, you could edit /conf/config.xml to manually delete the alias. From the console menu, select 8 then type ee /conf/config.xml (use the Esc key to get to its menu to save the changes). With SSH, you could do it from the console with an SSH terminal client or use a file transfer utility that supports SSH. After you are done fixing it, use the console to reboot.

Looks like that needs some more validation there.
I am working on other features in the alias area today, I will probably fix this along with the other work I'm doing.
-
This should be fixed now in new snapshots generated after this post. I added some validation before the data is imported. I then tried to enter that same URL again and it merely printed the expected error for invalid data.

Efonne ans jimp thanks for your attentions ,now validations working,I installed new snap and add to URL alias same string(httt://www.google.com).
Here is error output:
The following input errors were detected:
* You must provide a valid URL.
