Gui hangs….

sir_lunatic · Dec 8, 2006, 4:47 PM

Using 1.0.1 built on Sun Oct 29 01:07:16 UTC 2006 on a VIA C3 1000Mhz with embedded on CF

Have lan on a /23 and opt on a /24 both providing dhcpd

when trying to view Status/DHCP Leases or Diagnostics/Arp Tables the gui never shows the lists and if I shell in the cpu is at 100%

any ideas?

Can't reproduce that here.

I also am unable to reproduce this. See if you can reproduce it again and give more details.

It reproduces itself every time. I even burned a new flash and setup from scratch. I will mention that between the two interfaces there are well over 500 leases so the arp table would be just as large. I will have to go on site and see if this problem exists when accessing these tables locally. Is it possible that php or something is timing out while parsing these tables to view?

if you have less then 256 mb memorie then php can be killed is memorie runs out

Memory isn't an issue(512Mb) and php isn't dieing. Here is a "top" after I click DHCP Leases:

Also the resulting browser screen is the pfsense theme with "Diagnostics: DHCP leases" on a white background with no list or table and the browser just spins its wheels forever never timing out. I can click the browser stop and continue my session, but DHCP Leases will never show and neither will the ARP table.

That top readout looks fine to me. Everything appears in a non-blocking state. Not sure on this one.

sir_lunatic · Dec 12, 2006, 12:14 AM

Well after looking at the php code, it appears the ARP table code relies on the dhcp leases file as well, so there is a connection. I am trying to run the diag_dhcp_leases.php via command line php to see what the ouput is, but it wants credentials. Any clues on how to do this? I'm not a php guru.

sir_lunatic · Dec 12, 2006, 4:50 PM

Just looked at /var/log/lighttpd.error.log and see the following message when i access the DHCP Leases:

2006-12-12 08:57:56: (server.c.1148) NOTE: a request for /diag_dhcp_leases.php timed out after writing 6679 bytes. We waited 360 seconds. If this a problem increase server.max-write-idle

So the php script is dieing on something…..still trying to figure out how to pass user credentials on the commandline.......

This page needs serious optimization. It's really slow. It works. But is really slow.

I think we are doing some really weird processing here.
