WebGui Hangs at Welcome
-
Hello and please forgive me. I am not one to normally post but after working and researching this problem for 9+ hours I figured a fresh set of eyes might help. Sorry if the below is information over kill.
Setup
Host machine: Windows 7 Home x64, MoBo: Asus PG541t-m LX3, Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q9550 @ 2.83GHz, 2833 Mhz, 4 Core(s), 4 Logical Processor(s), 8 gigs mem., Nic: Atheros AR8151 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet Controller (NDIS 6.20), It is connected through a AT&T SoHo router.
VirtualBox 2.4.14
pfSense 2.0.3 (1386) release running in Virtualbox 256 mem. with a Wan ip 192.168.1.77 (DHCP) nic 1 and a Lan Ip of 192.168.2.1(static) nic 2.
Win Server 2012 also in VirtualBox (1024 mem.) with a single nic (internal) ip address of 192.168.2.2/24. Defualt gateway and DNS server of 192.168.2.1.
All are configured with VBox nics intel/pro/1000 Mt Desktop.
The server has full internet access, PfSense, and Win Server 2012 can all ping each other and 8.8.8.8 (Googles DNS). When I attempt to access the Gui on Pfsense I am able to log in but I hang on the Welcome to pfSense…One moment while we start the initial setup wizard. No ability to click through with the logo.
I have tried killall -9 php; killall -9 lighttpd; then restart webgui to no avail. Any Help would be greatly appreciated. Tell me it is something stupid I am simply over looking, please..... ;D

Something to test: your setup OOM ?
Using 256 Mb for pfSense seems very small to me. Try setting up a 512Mb box.
