Thanks for the effort to solve this problem.

Still happening in latest build. Anyone have any ideas? Getting frustrated that this is going on so long…

Excellent. Thanks for the intention.

Can somebody try this ?.

Create some script in /usr/local/etc/rc.d like
ee /usr/local/etc/rc.d/fix_captiveportal.sh

put this two lines:

/etc/rc.captiveportal_configure
/usr/local/sbin/lighttpd -f /var/etc/lighty-visitantes-CaptivePortal-SSL.conf

Save, do chmod 655 /usr/local/etc/rc.d/fix_captiveportal.sh.
Reboot.

OBS: The line /usr/local/sbin/lighttpd -f /var/etc/lighty-visitantes-CaptivePortal-SSL.conf changes on every installation. To see the correct name file, ls /var/etc . Will be something like: lighty--CaptivePortal-SSL.conf (if you use SSL) or lighty--CaptivePortal.conf without SSL.
In Alix board, patient. 2 minutes (more or less) to everything work. rw on / to write file and chmod take effect.
This script can be more elaborated and is not the real fix to the problem (can solve temporally i guess).

Should be fixed on next snapshots.

I hope it's the one built after: Thu Nov 22 09:33:27 EST 2012??
In this one it's still not staring as it should :(

Its this one https://github.com/bsdperimeter/pfsense/commit/3a4b01476620d33b6d6200849231398f82e593c7
Probably tomorrow snapshot should have it.

I can confirm that this works on the snapshot: "built on Thu Nov 22 14:00:25 EST 2012"
Have already updated/tested on 5 different routers.

Thanks so much! :)

Working great now on this version:

2.1-BETA0 (i386) built on Thu Nov 22 13:25:28 EST 2012 FreeBSD 8.3-RELEASE-p4

(1GB nanobsd i386 on Soekris net5501)

Thanks for the fix!
