A fatal error occurred
The following error just broke Piwik (v2.0.4-b7):
Call to undefined function Piwik\filter_var() in /usr/local/www/piwik/core/IP.php line 234

Please upgrade your PHP version , filter_var is available in all PHP5 ? are you using Piwik 2.0.3 ?

I use php5-5.4.24, nginx-1.4.4_3,1 on FreeBSD 9-x64

That’s strange because filter_var function should be available in your PHP: PHP: filter_var - Manual

need to install php5-filter :slight_smile:
