Is there a way to backrev to 2.2.5? 2.2.6 is no good for me… cp dies often

Thanks, cmb. We have always had some issues with captive portal stability, seemingly linked to the lighttpd process. I usually get a call from the helpdesk once every month or two when the portal stops working and I restart the server. It went crazy with the latest release, to the point that I was thinking of abandoning pfsense. The beta 2.3 build has been super smooth in the nearly 2 weeks it has been up. When do you anticipate a proper release?

Its beta_x now. no clue if there is going to be a beta_y or z. then there will be atleast one or more release candidates.
i doubt they have set a fixed release date at this point. i'm hoping/guessing it'll be between april & june somewhere. -
Hi,
Same issues for me (lighttpd core dump).
Sometimes several times per day or a few times per week.
Already authenticated users are OK but no captive portal page for newcomers.
I am also trying the lighttpd upgrade to 1.4.39_1… Time will says if it does the job.What will be lighttpd replacement in PfSense 2.3 ?

Same problem here.
Happens a few times a week, seems random.
Services status still reports captiveportal as Up so the only chance to know if its down is if a client user is reporting or if you use external monitoring on the CP's http/https. -

Does anyone know if this problem i solved in 2.3 ?
-
Well ….. knowing that "lighttpd" isn't part of pfSEnse 2.2.3 anymore ....... ;)
2.2.3 works fine for me ....
Oops : I meant 2.3.

Gertjan: The new version is named 2.3
The version you are referring to, is prior to 2.2.5 and 2.2.6 and still contains lightppd. -
Yes it is solved in 2.3. lighttpd no longer exists, that's been switched to nginx which has no such problems.
