CLI commands

I have few questions on pfsense 2.4.5

1. how to run setup wizard on console.
2. I want to change http/https gui from console
   maybe using viconfig on webgui part
   is that possible?
   I tried to change from https to http in webgui viconfig, but after restart GUI not working
3. how to apply viconfig changes without reboot
   I read somewhere by "rm /tmp/config.cache", but can't found that file.
   what I found is /tmp/cache.lock

All those are available from the consolemenu

[nbctcp]

0. Logout (SSH only) 9) pfTop
1. Assign Interfaces 10) Filter Logs
2. Set interface(s) IP address 11) Restart webConfigurator
3. Reset webConfigurator password 12) PHP shell + pfSense tools
4. Reset to factory defaults 13) Update from console
5. Reboot system 14) Disable Secure Shell (sshd)
6. Halt system 15) Restore recent configuration
7. Ping host 16) Restart PHP-FPM
8. Shell

Enter an option:
which menu should I choose if I want to chnage GUI from http to https
I don't think I should choose #4, because it will reset all my config

option 2

also: why wouldn't you just change it in the webgui? (system->advanced->admin access)

@heper
Option2 will change https to http but not vice versa
Be careful. Most of the time after using Option2, GUI won't work anymore although you can ping the ip
I need to reset to factory default then "pfctl -d", in order to make it work

It seems only GUI will give consistent result
I prefer CLI if possible

Hello!

Option 12 could also be a possibility.
I am no expert, and hopefully someone will correct me, so dont rely on this...:)

Once you are at the developer shell :

parse_config(true);
$config['system']['webgui']['protocol'] = "https";
write_config();
system_reboot_sync();
exec

Check the developer shell help for more info.
