      Well, I'm currently locked out of my webGUI once I upgraded to 0.94.14, and I wanted to try 0.94.16 without having to install from LiveCD.

      Is this possible?

              Damn, still no webGUI for me…..(updated to version 0.94.18)

              So I can use the 'fetch -o' command to copy a backup config to the pfSense in the same way I guess....cool.

                Try resetting the lan ip to switch the web server back to HTTP if its in HTTPS.

                We switched to LightyHTTPD.  There is a reason I haven't released these new versions…

                      I just tried re-enabling it and I'm locked out again.  I'm going to try 0.94.20 that was just posted in the /~sullrich directory.

                        It's not done uploading!

                            An incomplete version.  It's now uploaded.

                            I really should know, its my home directory.

                              I wasn't trying to be sarcastic, I sincerly wondered what I had downloaded.  I didn't know the link for a file showed up in the directory as soon as you start uploading.  I'm a windows guy who is used to windows caching everything…anyway.

                              Ok, 0.94.20 updated, http works, https doesn't.

                                    Thank you, it works.

                                    As a side note, as of 0.94.18, the 'Configuring OPT interfaces' no longer takes 3-5 minutes, it's just a few seconds and continues to load.  Thanks for that too.

                                      Good deal.  Please excercise the GUI as much as possible.  Try to "crash" it.

                                        Well, here is my list i guess

                                        • On the 'Diagnostics: Show States' page, i have to scroll all the way to the bottom of the page to see the states table.
                                        • unchecking the 'Disable NAT Reflection' box still messes up all http traffic going out.
                                        • the ntop service turns itself off for some reason

                                        I suppose only the first is the a webGUI issue, and cosmetic at that.

                                        And a question, you decide if it's webGUI related.  On the logs settings page, when I click 'Disable writing log files to the local disk', it doesn't hold the entries in RAM at all?  It basically disables logging unless you have a syslog server setup?

                                          1. please take a screen shot
                                          2. you have some nat rule stepping on reflection, need to identify it, i cannot reporduce this
                                          3. look in system logs for ntop entries
                                          4. yes, it will not write entries at all
