I was configuring the WAN interface from DHCP to static and then the web server was unresponsive.

These options are not visible to me, I connected the gateway router via the RJ45 console. I am only seeing the shell terminal.

Let's highlight the most important interface on your 4100 :

Typically, you will be using the small USB-C socket (on top, not the RJ-45 look alike) with cable that came with the router.
Then, go to the Netgate 4100 documentation that tells you all about the "console access".
Install de 'serial' driver on your PC, and you' in.
You'll see the menu.

Hi

Nothing shows up when you reboot (power down + 5 seconds wait - power up) the device ?
The speed is set to 115200 bps ?

This gateway router is used in the production environment, I can't reboot the system now as all other services will be interrupted. I will reboot it by the end of the day.

I restarted the php-fpm services from the /etc folder and able to access the web server.

@adnanbutt050

Wow, magic.
With /etc you mean
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/php-fpm ?

You should be able to run /etc/rc.initial to bring up the console menu if for some reason it was not reached.

I run the following command via the console

/etc/rc.php-fpm_restart
