Hi @SaqibR ,

Is the error consistent ?

I've seen this before and this was related to a different administrator making changes to the config while you were pushing a commit.

Have you tried again afterwards ?

Cheers !

@kiwi  yes, the error was consistent and it persisted even after the reboot. It was my lab environment and I removed all user accounts but admin just to be sure.  that didn't work either. 

I upgraded to 9.0 to avoid this error.  

@kiwi  thanks for your quick reply. 

cheers

I had a similar error but with iotd instead.
As Kiwi mentioned, there was another commit happening in the firewall at the same time (it was an auto-commit actually. I pushed the changes again some minutes later and the configuration was committed successfully.
