[phoenix]

I'm currently on the latest 15.7.3 version and I did a reboot, the following error line appeared in the log file (this was retrieved from my Splunk syslog server):

Is there any further information you need about this?

Happy New Year to everyone. :)

Hi Bill,

The best wishes to you too.

I think we found this issue a week ago, although I thought it was only affecting the development version at the time.
The problem was that the template engine tried to build files for unconfigured features, this commit https://github.com/opnsense/core/commit/1f7af3105e433bd28b078d32d4d9c99fa0747548 fixed it.

I'm not sure if this will make it into 15.7, but it shouldn't impose any real issues (other then the log message).

Regards,

Ad

Hi Ad

Thanks for the update. No, it's not a problem for me but as I'm not a coder I never know if it's a major bug or something minor. :)

Ad was sad about being addressed as Franco. :D

I will push the fix with 15.7.24.

Bummer! I'd just read one of your post and then replied to this, no excuse but I'll put it down to advancing age. :) My apologies to Ad for that mistake.

Usually he gets confused with Jos, which is kind of natural when you see the two. Internally, we sometimes refer to Ad as "the other Jos". ;)
