WebGUI not going to next page after login
-
I just upgraded to 2.4.1, changed to HTTP and logged out.
Now I can't get to the dashboard. I enter "admin" and "pfsense" and stay on the same page. The console on the router says:
Message from syslog@pfSense at Oct 28 09:46:33 …
pfSense php-fpm[85401]: /index.php: Successful login for user 'admin' from:192.168.1.102I tried 3) Reset webConfigurator password, but still the same thing.
I don't want to 4) Reset to factory defaults because I edited /boot/loader.conf.local and that was a PITA.
Any ideas?

Side question, is there a way to bring the GUI up on the console? Always seemed odd to me that you need a second system to see pfSense

Yep.
Reset.
/boot/loader.conf.local won't be touched. (and as always, you don't care, because you have spares of all files you changed manually).Side question, is there a way to bring the GUI up on the console? Always seemed odd to me that you need a second system to see pfSense
Ah.
You should use an 'old' PC device with a built in VEGA adapter. Now you can hook up a USB keyboard ans screen. Remote SSH access is still useful and advised.But, believe me, I NEVER saw a router/firewall with a built in screen …. so yes, on planet earth you NEED a second system (PC, tablet, phone, etc to administer). It has been like that for decades.

Thank you for your time. I'll try the reset in a few min. Still not that good with *nix systems.
First use of pfSense lasted 3 years, got it set up in about a month and left it alone after that. Power went out during an update, oh the joys of nuke and pave.https://www.securifi.com/almond

I'm using a IBM/lenovo ThinkCentre (9481-a4u if it matters), the console has been plugged into it for the last few days.
After I get it set up, I agree, the screen is not going to do much good. The ThinkCentre will be unplugged from the KVM. In the meantime, having full control at one spot would help a lot.
