khan

I have tested your config in vmware 9 environment with 2.0.2-RELEASE (i386). what i did
1. installed pfsense.
2. installed mysql & vhost according to your post.
3. installed php52-mysql as i mentioned before.
4. installed free radius2.
5. config them all
6. uploaded all the captive portal file.

but everything seems ok for me. i can register & data also available in database.

if u are interested i can upload the vmware image.

sorry to mention before….. i file (main css "bootrtrap.min.css") missing in my captiveportal file list, for which design was not perfect. added in this post.

can any moderator would be kind to attach this file in my main post please??

what is your virtual network settings? i used wan bridged with my netbook wifi and lan as a host only network.l

thenomad

I fixed it I think… the interface mappings got flipped somehow ... thanks for your reply It got me in the right direction !

thenomad

Ok it IS working as advertised ;D

but I have one question (from a NON FreeBSD admin) What is the path for the portal php files does it just sit in /var/etc ??

thenomad

Well I THOUGHT it was working …
User cannot log in

error message from the portal

Your Email & Password Doesnot Match. If you Dont Have Any please Register

If you think This is an Error Of This System Please Contact Us.

This is right after the user creates himself through registration.
Peeking at the database the information (including the password is there)

BTW phpmyadmin is NOT installed as was indicated used webmin

If you attempt to re register it tells you that you already have a account under the username

message is : You are already registered. with <what ever="" the="" name="" user="" registered="" with="">Hellp :'(</what>

What is your log in system in portal auth log?
anyway i just test it to selfregistration didnt checked full functionality. please adjust the shared secret in free radius nas & captive portal page.

BTW phpmyadmin is NOT installed as was indicated used webmin

of course i have installed phpmyadmin. after your comment i have dloaded from google drive and checked again.

If you attempt to re register it tells you that you already have a account under the username

message is : You are already registered. with<what ever="" the="" name="" user="" registered="" with=""></what>

i have designed this pages for a hotspot solution. so i add some mac based security, like a client with a mac can only register 1 account. if u want to create multiple account change ur mac address. or delete previous account from sqlserver via phpmyadmin

did Anybody got this tutorial helpful? bcos i have seen more then 10 download of my cp pages. only 2 of them replied.

HI khan..
tried your Vmware image. I can not get it work for me.. the virtualimage works and all but the root partion in not set at drive position 0 (ad0s1a) in pfsense but at the 3rd disk (ad3s1a). and your ovf is incompatible. i tried with a couple virtual machine always the same error non compliant ovf. even tried it in Vmplayer same difference…. and when I force it to boot ad0s1a ( with the mountroot> ufs:/dev/ad0s1a ) in other virtual machines. pfsense is all broken.. and/or vmware server just make it really incompatible with anything other then itself..

I even open it up in live boot BSD (frenzy) and edited as much as could but it still refuses to work for me

perhaps if you like to to make a vm appliance with virtualbox or simular

ok i am creating a oracle virtual box image. need some time.

whoei

Thnx! I would like to test with a virtualbox image!

ไม่มีใช้กับ captive portal บ้างเหรอครับ ทำไมมีแต่ free radius

khan

Sorry for delayed reply.

I have uploaded file for virtual machine created with oracle virtual box. Double checked. rar file with recovery record.

https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B7TKCwKoq_lNYjJ3cE53T013Y28/edit

first network adapter is WAN (192.168.0.0/23 subnet) change as your requirement.
2nd network adapter is LAN (192.168.100.0/24 subnet)

Webgui:

http://192.168.100.1:1337

Username: admin
Password: pfsense

phpmyadmin:

http://192.168.100.1:8001/phpmyadmin/

Username: root
Password: pfsense

Captiveportal

http://192.168.100.1:8000

Mac based security is enable. so if u need multiple account from one mac please login to phpmyadmin change mac value in reg_user table first.

I am writing a step by step "how to ". but need some time.
anyway post your comment.

neewbie

yes and be running

I'm testing with the virtualbox image but I get exactly the same message as Thenomand:

_Your Email & Password Doesnot Match. If you Dont Have Any please Register

If you think This is an Error Of This System Please Contact Us._

This is also right after the user creates himself through registration.
Peeking at the database the information (including the password is there)

If you attempt to re register it tells you that you already have a account under the username

message is : You are already registered. with <what ever="" the="" name="" user="" registered="" with="">Anyone how to solve this?</what>

After replacing 127.0.0.1 for 192.168.100.1 @ radius settings by captive portal and nas /client en interface settings by FreeRadius it works!

Is there any solution that multiple users can register from one PC without changing the mac address in DirectAdmin?

It would be better to change the mac-check to mail-check since this will help many users register from the same machine, but with one mail ID per single user. This will prevent multi-registrations from the same mail ID.

I have done this with pfSense 2.1 beta1 and it works well.

I am trying to get the hostname also collected through the registration page. But this does not work as expected.

Also, is it possible to ask users to register and send the login-password to them through the e-mail ID collected.

Khan, could you help please?

Thanks for your time.
