      @kiokoman said in Dell R430 bge (Built-in Port Hangs ) & Captive Portal Stop working:

      netstat -Lan | grep 193

      I have followed as said and got only output from first command

      netstat -Aan | grep fffff80130a2f0f0
      fffff80130a2f0f0 stream 0 0 fffff80130715ce8 0 0 0 /var/run/php-fpm.socket

      others both command has no output.
      secondly i have increased kern.ipc.soacceptqueue to 1024 value and also did tunning for bge NIC as given in docs creating /boot/loader.conf.local

      kern.ipc.nmbclusters="131072"
      hw.bge.tso_enable=0
      hw.pci.enable_msix=0

      i will keep an eye on system if that make any difference.

        the second command in this case is

        sockstat -l | grep /var/run/php-fpm.socket

        as an example for me the result is

        root     pfctl      51866 12 stream /var/run/php-fpm.socket
root     pfctl      51866 13 stream /var/run/php-fpm.socket

root     php-fpm    338   15 stream /var/run/php-fpm.socket

        so we can confirm that the socket is used by squid dpinger dhcpd etc etc

        well keep us updated

          Correct.
          All these programs use or call scripts that are PHP based.

          No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
          Edit : and where are the logs ??

                @kiokoman System was working without any problem for 28 days in heavy load 2000 plus users. suddenly started getting errors in ( portal interface ) and three times system goes down " just portal interface stop working for in/out traffic. disable it and enable it start working for sometimes one day or sometimes two days then again it happens.

                i am not changing any setting and if one service is working other goes down. now captive portal is stuck on boot screen and not let system to load menu startup. I haven't change any setting in Captive portal.

                    @Gertjan is there a way to reinstall captive portal package only. captive portal serivce show running when started from Dashboard. but if i try to save configuration of captive portal it keep waiting and finally gives error 504 Gateway time out. users are connected directly like on LAN and portal seems to be not working anymore.

                      The captive portal isn't a package.
                      It's using :
                      Another instance of nginx running on 127.0.0.1 port 80 (and 443 if uou use https).
                      This nginx instance uses a landing (php) page.
                      A helper script /etc/inc/captiveportal.inc

                      Activating the portal also activates the firewall program calle "ipfw" that can handle MAC addresses on the captive portal interface..

                      Actually, a captive portal as implemented by pfSense is pretty simple. No special processes.

                      You run the captive portal on a dedicated interface called OPTx, right ?
                      Swap LAN and this OPTx interface and see if the issue persists.

                      No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
                      Edit : and where are the logs ??

                        you can also check Status / System Logs / Captive Portal Auth to see for any errors

                          @Gertjan yes its running on OPT1 interface. i have restarted system 3 times didn't fix the issue so only one thing i have changed in system tuneable mentioned by @kiokoman kern.ipc.soacceptqueue to 1024 . I deleted it and rebooted system and captive portal is back. Not sure if its related to captive portal.

                              I would like to update changes i have made in case someone else is facing same issue now or in future to fix similar problems. given below is status after 2 Days System Running.

                              Captive Portal Status ( 2000+ Users )
                              Captive_Portal_Users.jpg

                              Network Status ( so far only 1 Error )
                              Network_Status.jpg

                              Changes I've Made
                              1- In /boot/loader.conf.local - Add the following (created new file): for Broadcom NIC

                              kern.ipc.nmbclusters="1000000"
hw.bge.tso_enable=0
hw.pci.enable_msix=0

                              2- In Interface/Portal ( Portal Interface bge2 ) Speed & Duplex select

                              1000baseT full-duplex

                              ( Auto setting was giving some errors on Zyxel switch logs )

                              3- In /usr/local/etc/php-fpm.d/www.conf

                              listen.backlog = 511 ( default )

                              to

                              listen.backlog = -1

                              php-fpm related errors gone after changing listen.backlog ( didn't get any till now in two days )
                              php-fpm error

                              kernel: sonewconn: pcb 0xfffff80130a2f0f0: Listen queue overflow: 193 already in queue awaiting acceptance (155 occurrences)

                              now only one issue i am sorting out related to nginx given below.

                              nginx: 2019/07/20 10:25:19 [alert] 95352#100567: send() failed (40: Message too long)
