      No, it's not anyone doing this!! It happens randomly on a regular basis without anyone logging in. The logs show no logon...

        The log entry was from 12 days ago. Maybe someone did it back then?

          That cannot be true. The referenced page is only accessible by someone logged into the GUI. If it's not you, then I would make sure the GUI is locked down and change all your passwords at a minimum, or wipe and reload the whole system and reconfigure it from scratch.

          It probably is you, however, but it's an old log message as @Derelict mentioned, in which case it's exactly as he described. Editing a file too large for the Diagnostics > Edit page, so clear the notice/crash report and don't try to edit a file that large in the GUI.

            I'll investigate this a little deeper and analyze the logs to see if anyone else accessed the system. Thanks for your responses so far.

              I have the same issue, without having anyone logged in i get a crash report. This happens since pfsense updated to 2.4.4-RELEASE (amd64), so it has beend doing this only since a few days now.

              However for me the exact error is:

              Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 536870912 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 12288 bytes) in /usr/local/www/crash_reporter.php on line 100 PHP ERROR: Type: 1, File: /usr/local/www/crash_reporter.php, Line: 100, Message: Allowed memory size of 536870912 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 12288 bytes) Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 536870912 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 73728 bytes) in /etc/inc/notices.inc on line 436

                Hmm, given where that error is, the PHP error log must be massive.

                From Diagnostics > Command, run this in the shell exec box:

                rm -f /tmp/PHP_errors.log
                

                And then reboot and see if the errors return.

                  No showed right away when I logged in. It's not some error that only happend once, .. its one that keep reappearing. Even sends me mails to report it.

                  Also before I deleted the file PHP_errors.log I checked the content there was nothing in it. I did however deleted it from ssh but I guess that's all the same.

                    Strange that it was empty since line 100 in the crash reporter script is reading only that one file.

                      Probably because I've acknowledged the error?

                        Maybe so but you said it keeps reappearing.

                          Rebooted a few times and now the error is gone but it's gotten really slow to almost not workable anymore, the router still works, however the webpages are have gotten really slow to the point where they don't load anymore.
