Dear Community,
I am new to OPNSENSE and its exciting. My challenge is that , I am running OPNSENSE on XEN Server, when the Server Hardware reboot, OPNSENSE reboots but Captive Portal will be down. My Captive portal is using Free Radius as an authentication server. I am having to restart the Captive Portal Service.
May you assist on this one.

Hello,
Just to say that I'm experiencing the same behavior on my own configuration. In my case it's running on a dedicated hardware.
Thanks,
Quentin
Hello,
After some investigation on this, it seems that the PID file (/var/run/lighttpd-api-dispatcher.pid) is not cleaned when power outage occurs.
This file breaks the startup script of the Captive Portal.
I think that a simple check should be enough for this (checking that the PID is still alive).
Thanks,
Quentin
Hi Quentin,
Indeed, nice catch. A patch[1] is available for testing. :)
