        I have captive portal working fine with pfSense 1.2 and pfSense1.2.1. Captive portal uses PHP, firewall rules, and a webserver (lighttpd running on the captive portal port) and that is the service you are referring to that is stopping. Did you change the default captive portal port? I'm wondering if you are running a package that is conflicting with the port that lighttpd is trying to use for captive portal. Look at the logs and see if it mentions anything that would be helpful. If you have any packages added disable them and see if it that makes any difference.

            Strange problem. I would try 1.2.1 and see if that makes a difference.

                A file on the Compact Flash Card has likely become corrupt. Backup your config, reinstall, then restore the config then I bet it will work again.
