Captive portal crashes randomly

supportGE

Hi everyone,

Version (latest version) : 2.0.2-RELEASE (i386) - FreeBSD 8.1-RELEASE-p13
Platform : nanobsd (4g)

I'm faced to an issue with pfsense's Captive Portal. Actually, it crashes randomly and when I check Systems Log i can see that :

php[61207]: /status_services.php: The command '/usr/local/sbin/lighttpd -f /var/etc/lighty-CaptivePortal-SSL.conf' returned exit code '255', the output was '2013-03-06 09:06:55: (network.c.385) can't bind to port: 8001 Address already in use'

Any suggestions ?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the reply,

I tried to install the following upgrade from pfsense console : pfSense-2.0.3-PRERELEASE-4g-i386-nanobsd_vga-20130228-1415.img.gz

But I encounter this message this time…. :

**Continuing upgrade…

One moment please...

Upgrade failed. Please check the system log file for more information**

If I check Systems logs i notice this :

php: : New alert found: Upgrade failed due to the upgrade image being larger than the partition that is configured on disk. Halting. Size on disk: 1885 < Size of new image: 3805

Though, i've checked my filesystem using df -h

Any idea ?

heper

you tried to upgrade a 4GB nanobsd version on a 2GB nanobsd version ?

supportGE

Yes I chose the 4G version because my platform version is the following :

nanobsd (4g)

Should I try with the 2G version ?

wallabybob

I think you chose a "fresh install" image
@supportGE:

I tried to install the following upgrade from pfsense console : pfSense-2.0.3-PRERELEASE-4g-i386-nanobsd_vga-20130228-1415.img.gz

rather than an UPDATE image:

You were right wallabybob, I wasn't using the correct image.
