I've been seeing an error every time I make a change to my system. I didn't see anything on a search. Can you point me in the right direction?

I guess you have the AutoConfigBackup package installed. Make sure:

you have the correct username, password etc in the package settings
your subscription is up-to-date
pfSense has proper internet access out the default gateway

All checked and verified, but still getting the error.

I looked in the log file just after sending and I see this:
php: rc.interfaces_wan_configure: The command '/sbin/ifconfig 'em0' inet delete' returned exit code '1', the output was 'ifconfig: ioctl (SIOCDIFADDR): Can't assign requested address'

Hello,
I'm having this same error occur so when I look at the backup log one is firing off every hour which seems to much. I believe it has something to do with pfBlockerNG updating every hour. Is there a way to eliminate pfBlockerNG update from firing off the auto config updater?
thanks,
Jim
