      Same problem here.

      Happens a few times a week, seems random.
      Services status still reports captiveportal as Up so the only chance to know if its down is if a client user is reporting or if you use external monitoring on the CP's http/https.

          Try upgrading lighttpd as others have done successfully, 'pkg install lighttpd', then option 16 followed by option 11 at the console.

            You can check this using CLI (ssh public key auth for automation):
            ps -aux | grep http
            root  13324  7.0  1.4 169520 115368  -  S    2:52PM    57:12.67 /usr/local/sbin/lighttpd -f /var/etc/lighty-ssid_ups-CaptivePortal-SSL.co
            root  11329  0.0  0.1  56884  7736  -  S    2:52PM    0:40.39 /usr/local/sbin/lighttpd -f /var/etc/lighty-webConfigurator.conf
            root  13040  0.0  0.2  67120  17404  -  S    2:52PM    3:42.73 /usr/local/sbin/lighttpd -f /var/etc/lighty-ssid_ups-CaptivePortal.conf

            Or checking log file for Lighttpd 'Core dump' error.

                Well ….. knowing that "lighttpd" isn't part of pfSEnse 2.2.3 anymore .......  ;)

                2.2.3 works fine for me ....

                Oops : I meant 2.3.

                  Gertjan: The new version is named 2.3
                  The version you are referring to, is prior to 2.2.5 and 2.2.6 and still contains lightppd.

                    Yes it is solved in 2.3. lighttpd no longer exists, that's been switched to nginx which has no such problems.
