        Hi,

        I'm using 2.0-BETA5 (i386) built on Tue Jan 11 14:19:18 EST 2011 on two boxes and I could access the webGUI.

            I am having the same problem after rebooting the firewall after an update.  The login page times out and I can't get to the gui using HTTPS.

            EDIT: I am using a cert for the webconfig that I have created using pfSense cert manager (self signed) and I am using the newest snapshot from Jan 12th 2:06.

              Me too. I am using self-signed cert.  By the way, anyway to check the startup log for the httpd?
              Thanks.

                  Also happened to me on 2.0-BETA5 (i386) built on Thu Jan 13 02:45:05 EST 2011.
                  Was able to edit config.xml to accept http connections and regain access.

                    I think I may have an idea of what might be happening. Hopefully the next snapshot should be OK.

                      So, JimP, the 14th's early morning snap should fix the problem with the web gui?

                        I'm not entirely sure, but it's worth trying.

                          Accessing the gui over https is working again for me using 2.0-BETA5 (i386) built on Thu Jan 13 19:33:19 EST 2011.
                          Thanks jimp!

                                What errors are showing up in the system log now? What about /var/log/lighttpd.error.log?

                                    I've been able to work around this by commenting out the following line from /var/etc/lighty-webConfigurator.conf:

                                    ssl.ca-file = "/var/etc/ca.pem"
                                    

                                    Then, restarting lighttpd:

                                    lighttpd -f /var/etc/lighty-webConfigurator.conf
                                    

                                    It appears that the CA cert / key pair do not survive.

                                    uncon

                                      That's the thing, with the default webgui cert there is no ca, so that line isn't there. I have no such line on mine.

                                        Does /var/etc/ca.pem exist? If it does, is it empty? Or does it actually have the ca certificate in it?

                                          When this issue occurs, the file ("/var/etc/ca.pem") exists and is empty.  I think this is only an issue if you create your own CA and subsequently a certificate for use with the webgui.

                                            When you do "ls -l /var/etc/ca.pem" does it show as 0 bytes, or does it actually have some (blank) content in it like spaces or blank lines?
