[SOLVED] New Firewall alias not working / not updating

[michelvankessel]

Hi,

Just noticed NEW aliases are not working. Any ideas how to solve this?

The following message is visible

Script action failed with Command '/usr/local/bin/flock -n -E 0 -o /tmp/filter_update_tables.lock /usr/local/opnsense/scripts/filter/update_tables.py ' returned non-zero exit status 1. at Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/opnsense/service/modules/processhandler.py", line 478, in execute subprocess.check_call(script_command, env=self.config_environment, shell=True, File "/usr/local/lib/python3.8/subprocess.py", line 364, in check_call raise CalledProcessError(retcode, cmd) subprocess.CalledProcessError: Command '/usr/local/bin/flock -n -E 0 -o /tmp/filter_update_tables.lock /usr/local/opnsense/scripts/filter/update_tables.py ' returned non-zero exit status 1.

did some investigation. When I run the command manually I see the following error

root@firewall:/var/db/aliastables # /usr/local/bin/flock -n -E 0 -o /tmp/filter_update_tables.lock /usr/local/opnsense/scripts/filter/update_tables.py

dns.resolver.NoResolverConfiguration: Resolver configuration could not be read or specified no nameservers.

I noticed I didn't have any resolver configured under system > settings > general, after adding the local firewall IP as DNS resolver, it worked!
