<![CDATA[File does not exist: fop2-variablesGeneral.txt]]>Doing a general sweep through logs on my server I found we have been getting the following error in /var/log/apache2/error.log for every workstation every day going back to when the system was built:

[Fri Nov 25 08:33:03 2011] [error] [client ipaddress] File does not exist: /var/www/fpbx/fop2/fop2-variablesGeneral.txt, referer: http://pbx/advanced/fop2

We aren't experiencing any problems I could trace to these, but unexplained errors bug me 🙂

There is no file on my system anywhere with this name. Is it an optional configuration file, or perhaps a typo in the code somewhere? I also can't find it greping files in fop2 directories.

Would a touch to create an empty file cause a problem? Or would parsing an empty file just cause more problems?

That file will be created if you set the web_dir on fop2.cfg, but it is only necessary to do that if you also want to change the default listening port for the service. If you use the default port, that file is not needed and the websockets/xmlsockets connection will work normally.
