      Chris, is there any way to fetch the latest fixes for nanoBSD or is it still considered dangerous (for the CF card)?

        Been doing the code below for almost two hours now and it is not yet finished.  ???

        pfSsh.php playback gitsync RELENG_2_0

        While accessing the LAN IP, "503 - Service Not Available" in IE or Chrome.
        I think i have to let it sync overnight.

          gitsync does work on NanoBSD, but it will be rather slow and involve a lot of writes to the CF. So it'll be a pretty bad idea, unless you don't love your CF, in which case it's fine.

          I've got a new set of images built, I'll upload them in a bit and post the url when they're done.

            Thanks, Abdsalem!

            I ran the command.  Got a few errors about git not being installed and having some older dependencies installed, but the process of updating the pfSense stuff ran without issue.

            I'll open up the web portal now and report back.  The UI usually fails within 30 minutes, I'm hoping it works out this time.

            Thanks again for the suggestion!

              Thanks for the information Jim, I would really appreciate the new images as one of my location consists of an alix and heavily relies on captive portal and its new fixes , it would be very much appreciated when you have the time to upload.

              Sorry I forgot to mention the initially errors, its been over a year since I ran it.

              I have been watching the traffic graphs for the last 6 hours and for me its fixed and no errors being reported about fastcgi crashing.

                I'm happy to report that after 5 hours running, I haven't had any issue with the graphs.  No fastcgi errors in the /var/log/lighttpd.error.log either.

                pfSense version listed is:  2.0.3-PRERELEASE (amd64) built on Fri Dec 7 22:39:16 EST 2012 FreeBSD 8.1-RELEASE-p13

                I think we have a winner!

                Thanks again to Abdsalem for the gitsync suggestion and commands, and thanks to the mods for taking the time to help with this.  Not sure what the root cause was, but the gitsync seems to have fixed it and not caused any new errors.  I ran it at 9AM today in case you need to refer to the code base that included the fix.

                  If you need a "real" image instead of gitsync, I've temporarily re-enabled 2.0.x snapshots.

                    Just a heads up Tim, lighty outputs its errors to syslog now so you can view it in the webgui under https://pfsense/diag_logs.php ….. /var/log/lightyd.error.log will contain errors from prior the gitsync update we applied, so any information lightyd-error.log is now irrelevant

                    I am coming across a small warning but bear in mind I havent pulled the latest using gitsync so this warning may go away once its quiet enough to do

                      Thanks, I went to look at the system.log and it's clean of any fastcgi errors.  It didn't show the output from the gitsync earlier today, but I'll assume that stuff isn't logged to save space (or because I have the logger set at it's default and not in dev mode to robustly log everything).  I prefer to read the logs via CLI because I like the breeze from my propellor hat.  :)

                      Safari crashed so I didn't make it past 5h worth of logging.  I restarted it and will let it run all day.  I assume at this point it's fixed.

                        After gitsync, my dashboard hangs. Need to reset webconfigurator.
                        Been running the browser for 30 minutes and no 500 error yet but many errors in system logs.

                          I had a little freeze a moment ago when trying to browse to 'Status/Traffic Graph', a reboot fixed that as I hadnt rebooted all day since I GitSynced, I returned to 'Status/Traffic Graph' to make sure it wasnt the cause. Reboot if you havent done so.

                          If youre referring to

                          FastCGI-stderr: ALERT

                          I am also seeing this, the cause of mine is the portal page I have uploaded that has a link to google.com, I notice in your log that the cause of the alert is dashboard widgets, both show that the variable name length is set too short and causing that alert.

                          When it happens to me, I am guessing my captive portal user clicks the www.google.com link and gets redirected to the captive portal login page and because cp appends additional info to the url, that causes the error, I'm no coder but could a dev confirm if this might be the case?

                            My system log is now full of```
                            lighttpd[35079]: (mod_fastcgi.c.2676) FastCGI-stderr: ALERT -

                            
3 hours running and my traffic graphs are okay for the time being.
Except for that above error.
I have no redirect page or captive portal.
My packages: squid, squidguard, lightsquid, vnstat2, imspector, mailreport and sarg.
Although i have traffic limiter for my network, 2 WANs and 2 LANs.

                              Like I said earlier, in your case it seems to be a dashboard widget, what widgets do you have enabled? also I noticed in the original log you posted the attacker IP is '111.111.111.111' I am guessing this is the client you use to administer pfsense.

                                A lot of whiskey, beer, and hours later and my graphs are plugging away swimmingly.

                                IMHO, this is resolved for my installation.

                                Many thanks again, and I raise a glass!

                                  My widgets are: traffic graphs, gateways, interfaces, IPSec and System Information.
                                  The 111.111.111.111 is a bogus IP I edited in replacement to my WAN IP. The log shows my WAN IP but I don't like to post it so I made it to 111.111.111.111

                                    I have a feeling if you remove the IPsec widget the error will disappear….

                                    The original bug posted in this thread is also fixed for me and the bug we both experience I feel is something seperate, I think it needs its own thread.

                                      you are correct, the IPSec and the System Information widgets created the whole errors.

                                      I think the Uptime bar on the system information is the culprit, because I just installed a 2.0.2 on a new box and on IE, it showed some error.

                                      input style="border: 0px solid white;" size="30" name="uptime" id="uptime" value=" Fatal error: Call to undefined function get_uptime() in /usr/local/www/widgets/widgets/system_information.widget.php on line 159

                                        I want to edit my first post to put "SOLVED" on it but it seems that option is not available.
                                        I checked and rechecked again where the edit/modify button is, but i cant find it any longer.

                                        Anyway, Abdsalem's solution seems to work:

                                        pfSsh.php playback gitsync RELENG_2_0

                                        Although the 500 errors don't show up, the solution produces different errors on the syslog, but that is another issue which is here:

                                        Thanks again to everyone for your help.
