Captive portal seems stopped (can't bind port:8000 already in use) but working.

abdurrahman

Hello, I am using pfSense 2.0.2-RELEASE (amd64)

when I tried to start captive portal, in System logs, I see the message below:

php: /status_services.php: The command '/usr/local/sbin/lighttpd -f /var/etc/lighty-CaptivePortal.conf' returned exit code '255', the output was '2012-12-29 23:01:23: (network.c.385) can't bind to port: 8000 Address already in use'

Interesting but, when I look Status->Services, captive portal seems stopped,
bu users can login through the captive portal and successfullu authenticated and I can see the users
who logged in in th Status-Captive Portal….

My DHCP Server settings :
Default lease time is 7776000
Maximum lease time is 15552000

In Captive Portal settings, I leaved Hard Time Out setting blank.... (no limit)
my aim is this: unless dhcp server gives different ip address to the clients (3 months after), the sessions of clients will not be closed.

when I run the command,
clog /var/log/lighttpd.error.log

I see the error messages below...

In spite of the fact that Captive portal seems stoped in (Status-Services) and the error log messages, mu clients can login throug captive portal and clients are authenticated succesfully...

I will be glad, if you help me about this topic

Upgrade to 2.0.3 as this solves this issue.

abdurrahman

thanks for your offer, bu when I upgraded to pfSense 2.0.3 timezone problem occured…
Although the time was shown true in webgui (Status-Dashboard), time information in all logs
was 3 hours earlier.
I have been living in Turkey. My time zone was correct. Europe/Istanbul...

Any other ideas, or offers?
