Aliases broken

[chris929]

Hi folks,

just updated 2 boxes to the latest Version and while one is working just fine, the other one (my backup box) has some trouble with the aliases... Aliases seem to be completely broken - I see them in the config part of the aliases tab but when I go into the diagnostics the list is always empty :(

Unsure how to troubleshoot this as the other box seems to work just fine.
Tried deleting, re-creating, import, export from the good box, reboot - still not working.

ANY hint would be greatly appreciated!

Are you sure that it is not only that the first alias that is selected in the dropdown of the upper left corner of the "Firewall: Diagnostics: Aliases" page is empty, such that the resulting list is empty, too?

Did you select another alias which you know is not empty?

[chris929]

I checked all of them - all empty besides the "bogon" list :(

Firewall > Settings > Advanced > Firewall Maximum Table Entries, Sure you have enough set here? I always have to update this field larger than default when using the maxmind GEOIP data with aliases.

It's set to 10mio (10000000) - I remember changing that in the past due to another issue.
If I roughly add all of them up it would hit 300k barely - so more than enough room.

Is there a common alias type whose data is missing? Are manually entered Host(s) and Port(s) aliases empty as well?

Logs for URL Table alias fetches are in Firewall > Log Files > General.

If I go to the diagnostics and manually add an entry to the empty list it is shown and immediately applied - so the "transfer" from the alias creation towards the actual list is the point where it seems to "break". The general firewall-log is completely empty and does not show any log at all?
