Having trouble loading certain web pages after moving to pfsense
-
Evening all, I'm new here and to using a Pfsense FW
If anyone could help out, I'd appreciate it.
I have an issue where my websites are reachable but certain pages on the site aren't.
I get an 'internal server error' message when trying to reach a certain page.I've double-checked the server and site config files and they are fine, the only difference I made was moving my server behind a Pfsense FW running version 2.7.2

@Malek63 are you using some sort of proxy on pfsense, squid? Or running IPS? if not pfsense has no clue to what your accessing, it just moves the packets.. If your getting an error of internal server error in your browser - that would be from the server your accessing..

Hi @johnpoz
Thank you for reaching out.
I have no IPS, proxy, or squid running, it's just the server behind the FW with basic Wan & Lan rules.Would adding a PFSense proxy to my config solve the issue?

Go have a look at your web site server logs. The web server will show you why it failed to serve the page, and send the ''internal server error' messages to your browser.I've double-checked the server and site config files and they are fine
The config files are always fine
That is : The config files are always fine - for you.
But you are not using these files, the web server is. And he trying to tell you something different.Click-test for yourself : What does 'internal server error' mean ?

You don't say what browser you are using but are you sure that it's not by coincidence that maybe something changed in the browser you are using and you think it's pFsense but is a browser issue.I have a website that no longer loads using Chrome or Microsoft Edge but still loads using FireFox. This just happened in the last few days. Haven't figured out what changed but has worked for years.

Hummm. If the browser can't make anything out of what the server send him, that will not disturb the server.
And browser would not / should not say "'internal server error'" as more appropriate would be 'internal client error' where client = the browser.Anyway, I promise not to drink any wine this weekend if the server's log doesn't mentioning anything about the issue.

What I can tell you for sure is pfsense isn't going to show that error to the browser.. Just no possible way it could unless you are running proxy on pfsense, and that was the proxy sending the error to the browser.

Small voices in my head tel me that @Malek63 isn't using any proxy (on pfSense).
Because : he would have said that. -
