If the menu text is changing then sshd is starting/stopping. There wouldn't be any script or anything if you didn't add one. Guessing it's not really running and the logs you were seeing are old. Run 'ps ax | sshd' to see whether it's running.

^ when the tools are used correctly and understand how they work they are very helpful.. I love my lastpass for example..  But yes sometimes it can put in the wrong info.

Are you using any sort of sync software for site passwords like lastpass or firefox sync?  You can even sync sessions across browsers, which another thing that can cause problems if not clear on how it works, and that your using it, etc.

What are your settings in:

System > General > DNS Servers
Services > DNS Forwarder
Services > DNS Resolver
Services > DHCP Server On the tab for your inside hosts, what are the DNS Servers

You can install your CA into any device that does SSL, why do you need a publicly trusted CA for your webgui??

OK i resolved it…

the problem was that my pw was written on Ubuntu and i used pav num for numbers... so that worked from my internal ubuntu but not with windows.......  :-\

Yeah, that was my thread (https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=102069.0). I'm interested to see what comes of this too. Although ssh and logging in to the pfSense box itself are workarounds, using the GUI would still be easier and there is no reason why that shouldn't work as epected.

I too had thought it was the size of the file, but there may well be something else going on, or more than one issue. Either way, the "Edit File" and "Filer" functions don't seem to function as well as they might.

@Gertjan:

The most simple way to access 'pfSense files' is : use a vanilla FTP-client, like  FileZillaFTP (or much better: SmartFTP) and access your box using …..... SFTP.
Use a good text editor like Notepad++ (or much better: UltraEdit).

It all becomes a question of "click-open-edit-save".

IMHO: GUI-build-in-edit-options are just 'poor-man's solutions'.
I'd rather prefer SSH in and use nano.

Yeah - I'm perfectly happy SSH-ing in too. In fact real men don't even SSH, but log in to the box directly ;)

good job, very useful, thank you.

"I'm wrote a script under /usr/local/www/XFOLDER for manage freeradius mySQL database"

WHY???  When there is already a freeradius package is my question.. Why would your script need APC disabled??  Why not just put your script on where the freeradius is running and your mysql is running - trying to run the script on a firewall that is a custom distribution of the OS and the software running like lighthttpd, php, etc..

Make NO sense to do what your doing..

I don't think it's just me? The "modern" browsers start to behave in completely idiotic ways when it comes to forms/usernames/passwords/logins:

offering to save credentials for fields that are not username/password at all trying to autofill saved credentials on completely wrong places unwantedly filling in complete crap on clicking submit various cookies SNAFUs now Mozilla has come with a "wonderful" idea to scream about lack of HTTPS on login forms

Pull requests have been committed, so this should be working in new snapshots of 2.2.5-DEVELOPMENT and 2.3-ALPHA

@doktornotor:

Generally, a sign of your external auth failing badly. When the GUI cannot validate that the user has privileges to do whatever he's trying to do, things are very slow.

Hi,
Thanks for Reply,
I am using the Built in PFSense users. Is there anything that I need to do to speed this up? I mean any settings that I need to check?

Thanks,

Hi,

Thanks for the reply on this post.

@Gertjan:

@loppa#1337:

From what little I know we access the webGUI through "VLAN30_GREENMANAGEMENT". There is also a connection on a configured port 4433 to access this site.

This can't be true. You set it up. You should know.
port 4433 isn't standard, https could be anything, but is 443 by default (why changing it ?)

I know that 443 is default, and as I stated in my first post. This was setup by a project with very little handover. So you are right in the regard that is my responsebility.  ;) Why port 4443 was set I don't know. But from the server I can access this server this has been the URL that I have used.

@Gertjan:

@loppa#1337:

The server which we used to access the webGUI is on VLAN30 as shown on the second picture. Can anyone give me an advice were to start trobleshoot? I want to verify if the service that runs the webGUI is down or not. I guess this doesn't run on Apache/Tomcat? How to verify if this is related to a certificate issu since it runs on HTTPS?

Neither Apache nor Tomcat.
You have SSH access, right ?
Take option 8.
Type

ps ax | grep 'lighttpd '

and you see what up and running.

Hopefully this will help me out to sort out the web page issue. Is this a (service "service_name" start) command?

@Gertjan:

Btw:
telnetting to a 'ssh' port-connection makes no sense. You should use a ssh-client program to connect to a ssl port.
Using "2.1.5" is 'only for the experts' (and still, they won't - live is just to short). I hope my advise is still valid for this ancient version.

I knew this by the time i posted it. But thanks for pointing out my lack of network knowledge!  ::) I am also aware of the version. But this system is soon to die, so no need to change something that (used to)  work(s).
Hopefully your advice will help me out. Thanks a lot!
