That's got it! Louis, I hope you're keeping a tally of all the beers I owe you when I visit Canada one day.
Thanks very much as always. Out of interest, what is the best way of editing the violations.conf file? Is it ok to update the file over the cli usually? Do I just need to do a standard configreload after editing or do I need to restart the services? The 5.0.1 admin guide suggests a service restart.

Check to see if you have a file called conf/violations.conf.example. If you do, make a copy of the violations.conf and then copy the violations.conf.example on top on the problem file. Then try reloading again. -- Louis Munro [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> :: www.inverse.ca<http://www.inverse.ca> +1.514.447.4918 x125 :: +1 (866) 353-6153 x125 Inverse inc. :: Leaders behind SOGo (www.sogo.nu<http://www.sogo.nu>) and PacketFence (www.packetfence.org<http://www.packetfence.org>) On Oct 22, 2015, at 15:56 , Morris, Andi <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: Still no good I'm afraid.

Stop all services including packetfence-config. Make sure memcached is stopped. Then delete the configuration files cache so it must be rebuilt: # find var/cache/configfiles var/cache/configfilesdata/ -type f -delete Then restart all services. Let me know if that helps.

I've tried configreload hard service packetfence-config restart service packetfence restart I've tried removing the violation from the conf file completely, but still the same error. I'm presuming that it's a mismatch between the violations in the database and the configuration file perhaps? I really hope this is fixable, and something simple! ________________________________ [Cardiff Metropolitan University - 150 years of nurturing talent]<http://www.cardiffmet.ac.uk/cardiffmet150> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ PacketFence-users mailing list [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/packetfence-users ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ PacketFence-users mailing list [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/packetfence-users
