Web interface unresponsive

Has nothing to do with the VPN if you can SSH in (and judging by your CPU load). May be the general problem with fastcgi crashing in 2.0.2 that's fixed in 2.0.3.

thx

I see the exact some thing here.
The firewall was running fine, but the GUI crashed about 3 hours after I put the FW into production.
NOT the best start of my pfSense experience :o(

And the double kill command fixed it.

Any way of validating that it is the cgi-crash that causes this?
(In this way I can live with having to restart php and lighttpd sometimes.)

Yes - I read the topic, BUT I can't fix the situation by killing php and lighttpd and restarting webgui service- I need to fix this NOW, not in next release!

Reboot does not help either.

So apply the 2.0.3 pre-release upgrade or buy commercial support to have the instant help you need.

[Clouseau]

:)

There is no comercial support that can fix this issue onsite(s). Now I have lost 4 gui's from pfSense firewalls. Is there any idea what's causing it?

What I said earlier in the thread, some people are hitting fastcgi crashing in 2.0.2, upgrade to 2.0.3 or gitsync.

Yes yes - that's clear - now I just needed to get gui up again. Kill php and lighttpd and double restarting the webConfugurator helped.

Hello,acording to my experience, 2.1 Beta1 still have this issue, the dying webconfigurator thing…
