        Are the ones seeing failures perhaps using NanoBSD or /var in a RAM disk?

            Yeah I get that part, a few people have said it, but since I can't replicate the problem I need more detail about why it's failing. There should be something logged somewhere, on the system log, console, etc. Maybe try, without saving the settings, to run the rc.d script by hand to start it up and see if it produces an error.

                  2016-03-11 20:15:31: (configfile.c.1016) opening configfile  /var/etc/lightsquid/lighttpd_ls.conf failed: No such file or directory

                  After each reboot conf file dissapears ??

                    Does /var/etc/lightsquid/ exist?

                    If not, add "mkdir -p /var/etc/lightsquid/" to the rc script in the start section, reboot, and see if it comes up

                    I don't recall it being cleared out each time, which is why I asked about /var in RAM, since that would be wiped on each boot.

                      No there is no folder.
                      But it`s weird, this is happening on latest snapshots so something changed?

                        Nothing changed at all in any area close to that which I'm aware of.

                        Maybe you added or removed some other package which is causing the boot process to change somehow?

                        I may split this issue off into its own thread since it seems to be taking over and the cause isn't clear.

                          No, I changed nothing just pushed a snapshot or 2.

                          Now my /usr/local/etc/rc.d/lighttpd_ls.sh looks like:

                          #!/bin/sh
                          # This file was automatically generated
                          # by the pfSense service handler.
                          
                          rc_start() {
                          	# Start Lightsquid lighttpd webserver
                              mkdir -p /var/etc/lightsquid/
                          	if [ -f /var/etc/lightsquid/lighttpd_ls.conf ]; then
                          		/usr/local/sbin/lighttpd_ls -f /var/etc/lightsquid/lighttpd_ls.conf
                          	fi
                          }
                          
                          rc_stop() {
                          	# Terminate lightsquid Lighttpd webserver, if found.
                          	pidnum="$(/bin/pgrep lighttpd_ls)"
                          	if [ ! -z "${pidnum}" ]; then
                          		/usr/bin/killall lighttpd_ls
                          	fi
                          }
                          
                          case $1 in
                          	start)
                          		rc_start
                          		;;
                          	stop)
                          		rc_stop
                          		;;
                          	restart)
                          		rc_stop
                          		rc_start
                          		;;
                          esac
                          

                          It is still not started after reboot.

                            Possible that something is preventing pkg_edit.php?xml=lightsquid.xml when you click on Save to apply correct permissions or something?

                            Forgot to mention… This happens on both of my pfsenses...

                              If the pkg_edit page was failing to apply then it would work at bootup but not the other way around.

                              It's acting as though it's not performing the boot-time sync for you that it's doing for me. When it boots up I have /var/etc/lightsquid with the config inside and it's running.

                                So the cfg should be removed on every reboot?

                                  It should be irrelevant - the boot-time sync of packages should trigger a rewrite of the config and restart of the daemon. Which appears to be happening OK on my test VMs.

                                      I noticed that on reboot there is no more starting packages as it used to be. There is definitly something borked as others report it too.

                                            And I found probable cause…

                                            If I do: /etc/rc.start_packages  after boot everything is OK.

                                            So /etc/rc.start_packages is initiating too fast or maybe even twice and lighttpd never gets started.
