        Sounds definitely better than messing with screwed /etc/group manually.

          I am getting a 500 internal server error with the latest version - 2.2.4 RELEASE.

          Restarting PHP-FPM solved the issue, but does anyone know the root cause of the 500 error?  I am seeing a lot of older threads coming up with that error and a couple posts above this one Gertjan says that this released fixed the 503 error.

          Hopefully you have more information.

            2.2.4 fixes possible file system corruption - if the corruption was such that the system would boot but PHP would have a problem or… then there might have been 503 issues that now are not a problem.

            But there are still times when "something happened" - I think this phrase is now a Microsoft trade mark? :) - and PHP can need a kick. e.g. some interaction with bandwidthd has been a cause that has not been turned into a reproducible and then fixable problem yet.

            As the Greek philosopher Isosceles used to say, "There are 3 sides to every triangle."

                Same thin here, I run pfsense on a virtual machine (qnap) .

                This is a clean and new install of 2.2.4 and suddenly 503 !!

                Luckaly  the rest php-fpm works temporarely

                Is this something that was supposed to be fixed in this release?

                (I too have bandwidthd package installed, is it really this package? will it be fixed if I remove it?)

                  I have started getting 503 errors on a 64-bit pfSense 2.2.4 host that was upgraded from 2.2.3.
                  I'm not using bandwidthd.
                  The UPS on this host tripped overnight and I don't think NUT managed to shut the host down properly before the UPS powered off.
                  I am going to rebuild it from a fresh CD later today.

                      I spoke too soon. The WebGUI operates normally for up to a day after a reboot of the host. If I want to use the GUI after that I usually have to first SSH to the box and select option 16 to restart PHP-FPM.
