Web page failed after upgrade to 2.3.4
-
This is just and FYI, in case it helps someone
Upgraded to 2.3.4-RELEASE and the web page became unresponsive but the router was fully functional. Reboot made no difference.
To resolve this pfsense was hit with a factory restore to default settings (over kill I know). After applying the settings manually again the same issue appears. This time I connected to the console and found this message at boot

The message cannot get gid for group 'wheel' appeared when restarting PHP-PFM as well. After some digging around this appeared in google
https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/3635So the wheel user group was added back in and there have not been any issues since then
