      I just had this happen at our remote site, not using the ipsec widget.

      Netgate SG-2440

      2.3.1-RELEASE-p1 (amd64)
      built on Wed May 25 14:56:42 CDT 2016

      Just happened to our local pfsense box, same as above (2.3.1_1). Will try to restart the web interface from console.

        https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/6396 is marked closed.  Is that a different bug, or should it be re-opened? I know there are 502's and 504's going on.

        In any case, what is the correct redmine ticket for the remaining issue being discussed here?

        edit: I found https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/6406  which seems to be "this"

          I'm getting
          "504 Gateway Time-out

          nginx"

          It just seems to happen randomly. Doing the reset from the console fixes it for some time.

          My one box was up for ~12 days before it happened, the other was ~9 days. So…

          EDIT: The widgets I'm using on both are: System Information, Interfaces, Gateways, Traffic Graphs

          Not sure if that helps. Also running ipsec tunnel between locations.

            Just happened to me. 2.3.1_1. No IPSec or OpenVPN widgets. 20 days uptime. 504 error. I have an IPSec site-to-site running.

            :(

            OpenVPN server also stops working

            Doing an option 16) Restart PHP-FPM  did allow me to access the web gui but did not fix OpenVPN. Had to restart OpenVPN server to fix OpenVPN access.

              Happened again a couple days ago… I want to say this problem has persisted through the "fixes" in 2.3.1_1

                Do people seeing this with any regularity have anything interesting in the system log? Try filtering on frag.

                  well… could I make a suggestion, could the "Reset Log Files" button not be the default accept button on the logs settings page, rather than the save button... I was trying to increase the number of logs per page, hit enter and instinctively clicked OK as I read the message, and instantly regretted my decision.

                  Not sure if this is the same error, but I saw a lot of these in the logs before the above happened.

                  nginx: 2016/06/20 08:37:47 [error] 18895#0: *1464191 upstream timed out (60: Operation timed out) while reading response header from upstream, client: 192.168.1.27, server: , request: "POST /status_ipsec.php HTTP/1.1", upstream: "fastcgi://unix:/var/run/php-fpm.socket", host: "192.168.10.2:445", referrer: "https://192.168.10.2:445/status_ipsec.php"

                  I see there is an update 5, running update 5 and will report back if it happens again, though it took 9 days of uptime to happen last time.

                    UPDATE: 10days 8Hours uptime, hasn't happened yet, so maybe the issue has been resolved between release 1 and release 5?

                    UPDATE: 22 Days uptime without issue. I'd say whatever caused my specific issue has been resolved.

                      Several possibilities for that to happen were fixed between update 1 and 5.

                        Just happened to me in 2.3.1_p5. Same error logged about the thermal sensors and OpenVPN required a restart to allow connections again. I left the WebGUI open during the night on the status screen (my mistake)

                        nginx: 2016/07/01 06:07:42 [error] 49003#0: *57704 upstream timed out (60: Operation timed out) while reading response header from upstream, client: 192.168.17.18, server: , request: "GET /widgets/widgets/thermal_sensors.widget.php?getThermalSensorsData=11467344975628 HTTP/1.1", upstream: "fastcgi://unix:/var/run/php-fpm.socket", host: "192.168.17.4", referrer: "https://192.168.17.4/"

                        The first message logged is about the IPSec widget:

                        2016/07/01 05:11:08 [error] 49003#0: *57391 upstream timed out (60: Operation timed out) while reading response header from upstream, client: 192.168.17.18, server: , request: "POST /widgets/widgets/ipsec.widget.php HTTP/1.1", upstream: "fastcgi://unix:/var/run/php-fpm.socket", host: "192.168.17.4", referrer: "https://192.168.17.4/"

                        Luckily I am able to login using SSH to an internal host and can then go back to the pfsense box and restart php-fpm (option 16) to get the WebGUI restarted and then restart OpenVPN. With vacations coming up I see a lot of calls from colleagues not being able to connect…  :'(

                          nginx: 2016/07/05 10:20:49 [error] 29543#0

                          See attach fille.
                          It's happens from update 2.2.6 > 2.3.1 and untill 2.3.1-RELEASE-p5 (amd64)

                                Ugh, please tell me I'm not the only one still getting this.

                                I'm getting 502 and 504 errors.  I do the menu choice 16 reset but the problem returns within about 2 minutes or less.

                                It seems the 502 is tied to the "initial login" but then I get 504 errors afterward.

                                      I have been having 504 timeout issue since last once week now. No updates and no additional package installed lately. I am currently using pfSense version 2.3.2 with standard settings, pfBlockerNG & Snort is configured and the services are executing as expected.

                                      I am able to access the shell and the firewall is running smooth without any issues. Can someone please shed some light, thanks in advance.

                                      In the meantime, i have changed below values;

                                      max_execution_time = 900 -> /etc/php.ini
                                      request_terminate_timeout = 300 -> /usr/local/etc/php-fpm.conf

                                        Finally, after weeks, I determined that it was pfblockerng that was causing the 504 errors.

                                        I disabled pfblockerng and have not had a problem with the GUI since.

                                            Finally, after weeks, I determined that it was pfblockerng that was causing the 504 errors.

                                            I disabled pfblockerng and have not had a problem with the GUI since.

                                            Can you provide any more details about this issue?

                                            If you have a large DNSBL database, it can take some time to reload the Resolver… and if you are logging into pfSense with the Domain name, then you can have some issues at that time... best to use the pfSense firewall literal IP address to login...

                                            Also there are some issues with the Resolver and DHCP....  (Hoping the devs provide some feedback...)
