Web-GUI not starting after update to 2.7.

[Techniker_ctr]

Greetings,

I have not found a thread that already mentioned it, so i post it here.

After I updated my pfSense from 2.6 to 2.7 the webgui would not reload. It only responded again after I restarted it via the shell (/etc/rc.restart_webgui).

After the GUI-Restart i had folloing php-Error:

Crash report begins. Anonymous machine information:

No FreeBSD crash data found.

Now i have to restart the WEB-GUI after every reboot. I have reproduced the same issue with a second VM and had the same error massage.
The only difference between the two VMs is that the first one is on version "2.7.0.a.20221010.0600" the other on version "2.7.0.a.20221013.0600"

Following a few System Information:

VM
Hyper-v
2 CPU-Cores
1 GB RAM
5 GB SSD
usf
Login via LDAP-User

Any Idea what the cause of this is?
