Web GUI is super slow (SOLVED)

nutt318 · Dec 8, 2011, 6:06 PM

For some reason today the Web GUI is running very very slow. I've restarted pfsense and also tried restarting the webconfigurator but it doesnt seem to help. Just to add a rule for a NAT takes about 30-45 seconds for the page to come up, however normal wan/lan traffic is fine.

I'm running the latest 2.0 version amd64 and there is very low cpu/mem/disk usage.

I may restore to an old config but was wondering why this just started all of a sudden.

EDIT - Just remembered that I think I upgraded to the latest version of snort yesterday, maybe that caused the problem? Anyways the web gui seemed to be fine then.

TIA,
Jake

After finally getting into the system log I remember accidently clicking on the ldap authentication and the logs are saying

php: /firewall_nat_edit.php ERROR! ldap_get_groups() could not bind to server LDAP Access.

that error is over and over, I'm guessing thats causing the super slow delay which is also related to this thread I just found - http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,43512.0.html

Anyways, is there any way to make this stop?

Fixed my issue.

For some reason I set the authenication server to LDAP access which was causing it to run very very slow.

Fixed Under - System > User Manager > Settings > Authentication Server
