      Hi,

      Recently I have installed the vhost from the packages available in the pfsense admin page, which is for hosting a simple page to show some updates for users of my router.
      However, not sure if there are some simple tricks I have missed, or actually this package is suffering from some known bugs –- the service "vhost-http" never starts at all.

      Reading the service control page, "vhost-http" is "Stopped".
      When I tried to start it, a message "vhosts-http has been started." appeared on top of that page.............the "Stopped" persisted and the server couldn't be accessed.

      I have tried to restart the server but I had no luck at all. :-\

      Do you have any ideas on this?
      Thanks for your kind attention.

      some bg info that maybe useful:
      -pfsense 2.0.1 x64 nanoBSD
      -Intel Celeron G530

        Reading from this thread:
        http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=37305.0;prev_next=next

        It seems the won't-start issue is due to the x64 version.
        Would you suggest a quick fix to it without moving to a x86 pfsense?
        Thank you.

        Update:
        Or this is the cause for what I see now?
