Multiple captive portal services although only one defined

[wahmed]

I have only one zone called "intranet" defined.  But there are several instances of captive portal running.  These appear under "Services" and i have to manully stop them and only leave intranet running.  When i take a backup, i can only see "intranet" in the file.  How can i troubleshoot what is going on and get rid of these extraneous services.

Captive portal: d
Captive Portal: l
Captive Portal: w
Captive Portal: d
Captive Portal: 2
Captive Portal: 1
Captive Portal: 1
Captive Portal: l
Captive Portal: 6
Captive Portal: Intranet

Hi.

Your config.xml is somewhat messed up.

Open backup (XML) file - look for the <captiveportal>….</captiveportal> section.
In there you will find multiple <cpzone>.....</cpzone> sections.
Wipe all of them, except the one that defines your "Intranet" section.

Restore this file - and restart pfSEnse.

It's also possible a captive portal config section was imported from 2.0.x or before into 2.1 and not a whole config. That will happen if the configuration wasn't properly migrated to the zone structure. It may need the entire <captiveportal>section removed (or at least anything outside of the cpzone tags)</captiveportal>
