      Can you try the latest snapshots? We made a couple changes in the locking. I can't replicate problems, so your help in testing would be much appreciated.

        Made some more changes..  Please test the next snapshot that should be posted in about 3-4 hours.  Thanks!

          @900mhzdude:

          when captive portal first starts to crash i get this bug under captive portal status

          Warning: file(/var/db/captiveportal.db): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /usr/local/www/status_captiveportal.php on line 60 Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /usr/local/www/status_captiveportal.php on line 61

          and i can get this to repet if you have anything for me to try  :'(

          thanks  :D

          How exactly can you repeat it?

          I just fixed this.  For some brain-dead reason the captive portal enable function was zapping the captiveportal.db and it would not get recreated until the captive portal prune routine was run (every 1 minute).  This would surely cause some issues.

                Thanks, this is the only thing we are waiting on before releasing RC3.

                  Can we get an update to the problem?  Is the CP still working correctly?

                    so far yes but we only have 1 PC on the pfsense box at this time

                    we are having a hard time installing PFsense on our server box

                    supermicro MBD-PDSBM-LN2+-0 with a intel 2.80GHz E6300

                    but this happens with all Pfsense builds so nothing to do with 1.2.3

                    i would say go ahead and release RC3 do to i can not make CP stop working

                    i was going to make sure by putting it live but we are having a hard time with hardware
                    sorry ;(

                          I installed build 09-22 yesterday, and deployed it on my WISP this morning.  I still see the lock file in /tmp, but I don't see anyone having problems.  I used to see lock errors in the logs, but nothing today.  Seems to be working well.  I currently have about 50 users using the system.

                            what do you mean you still see the lock file in /tmp?

                            do you mean you see it in the tmp folder but is not doing any harm…or being a pain?

                            thanks

                              The lock file will always be there. The locking mechanism was changed again a week or two ago because of a different problem that semaphores caused, due to either PHP or FreeBSD bugs or a combination of the two. The lock file never gets removed, it's either locked or not locked with flock(), its existence has nothing to do with the lock status.

                              It appears to be good now, RC3 is coming this weekend.

                                  do it upstream of the VLAN router.

                                    Sorry, been busy.  Since upgrading to 9-22 everything has been good.  No reports of login problems, no slowdowns, and I can always get to the web admin.  Looks like it's fixed.

                                    On a side note my Ubnt PS2 just got a fix for PPPoE.  Connected right up no problem.  So both my PPPoE customers and my CP customers are happy… finally! ;-)
