Captive Portal Page Images
-
I've set up a custom captive portal page which features our company logo. Unfortunately, after uploading the html page, and uploading the picture file via the file manager with the correct naming, the portal page will not display the logo. I've checked the html over and over, named the image exactly as pfSense indicates, and tried many combinations of file names and html code. Can someone let me know if they have had similar problems and if they were able to remedy them? If anyone has some input for me I'd really appreciate it.
Thank you!

It appends 'captiveportal-' to your file. Check the file manager to confirm the file name and make sure your html is correct.
e.g- you have a file named companylogo.jpg and you upload this. It becomes captiveportal-companylogo.jpg. Your html must reference 'captiveportal-companylogo.jpg' -
Thanks. Turned out to be one of those tiny things I overlook and causes me grief. :) Thanks again for the input!

I have the same problem.
I can connect via this page but my logo "captiveportal-visuel-wifi.jpg" does not appears.
Where is the bug ?

Try capitalizing .JPG in your coding. That did the trick for my page.

Yeah, I meant prepend. I'm gramato-dyslexic.MTP3687
The underlying system is case-sensitive, so it's probably helpful to make sure the code matches the case-sensitive filename. I always make the files all lower case to avoid any (real or imagined) issues. -
Hello,
This is my tag :In "Services:Captive portal:File Manager" I can see the file "captiveportal-visuel-wifi.jpg" all in lowercase.
I don't understand what is happening, I've never had this problem with monowall.
Where can I see the error.log of httpd ?
I still listen to any idea.
Thanks -
This is a real problem for me too. I have prepended captiveportal- to everything I uploaded. I have tried all lowercase and tried to make the file extension uppercase as well. It will not work. I had zero issues with this feature in m0n0wall. The file is in /var/db/cpelements/ in all lowercase. Please don't brush this off as a non-issue or user error. Thanks!
My issue with m0n0wall's captive portal was that DHCP relay requests were not granted by the firewall's DHCP server. Does anyone know if this is still an issue here as well? Basically we have a bunch of access points which feed into a security server and I need DHCP relay to work. I currently use ZoneCD and it works, but I'd like to use pfSense.

Verify the link in /usr/local/captiveportal/ is pointing to the correct place.
Mine looks something like this:
_pfsense:/usr/local/captiveportal# ls -l
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 40 Oct 8 23:33 captiveportal-logo.jpg -> /var/db/cpelements/captiveportal-logo.jpg

I have exact the same problem like ptcheezer and don´t know, what to do…
-
DotDash has it on the head: the link from /usr/local/captiveportal to /var/db/cpelements is missing on mine as well.
HOWEVER when I try to create it, it complains that it's a read-only filesystem (I'm running a live-cd environment).
What do we do next?

If you're running on nano, you need to run:
/etc/rc.conf_mount_rw
then make the changes.
when done, set it back to read only:
/etc/rc.conf_mount_ro -
Ah, no, as I said I'm running on the live-CD, but your post IS helpful in that it's convinced me that I need to find an old hard drive to put into this old white-box computer and do a full install–I'm sure that will fix the problem.
-
Oh, I guess I should have actually read that before responding…
-
My idea worked: installing to a hard drive made the directory read-write and the problem automagically fixed itself.
Bottom line for future readers: if you want to use the image/file upload feature, you MUST be running with a R/W environment–no Live-CD and no embedded automounted read-only (for that directory, anyway).

Embedded does automount r/w when doing stuff like uploading a CP file.
Other than that, mounting a CD for read & WRITE is sub optimal.
