OpenVPN / Cert Backup - Restore issue BUG!

[xupetas]

Hello All,

I've made a full backup of my primary pfsense using the , but when i try to restore the OpenVPN settings using the https://pfsense01/diag_backup.php utility, i get this error:

_The following input errors were detected:

You have selected to restore an area but we could not locate the correct xml tag._

Is this a known issue?
Am i doing something wrong?

Hello,

But if i do a full restore of the xml generated by the diag_backup.php utility i still get restored to all the CA's, CRT's and openvpn configs right?

Thanks for your help. Wonderful product.

Nuno.

Yes, full backup and full restore are doing everything, including certificates, OpenVPN settings…
It was just a bug in the code that was not matching and finding the <openvpn>section of the config that was causing it to not work when trying to do just that specific section.</openvpn>

I needed to restore just the OpenVPN config, so I tried making the edit to that file myself and seemed to have broken something.  I changed ovpn to openvpn like the fix suggests but now when I go to the diag_backup.php page I get

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /etc/inc/util.inc on line 796 Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /etc/inc/util.inc on line 796 Warning: session_start(): Cannot send session cache limiter - headers already sent (output started at /etc/inc/util.inc:796) in /etc/inc/auth.inc on line 1357

UPDATE
Ok, so putting it back to ovpn fixed it.  How can I apply the bug fix without breaking it?

You really just need to type the 3 letters "pen" in the middle of "ovpn"to make "openvpn".
I can only guess that you have accidentally deleted or added some syntax character when making the edit.
This change is simple enough that I would just do it from Diagnostics->Edit, Load, type the 3 chars in the right place and press "Save". No need to mess with command line.
