24.7 Production Series / Lighttpd fails to start after upgrade to 24.7.5
« on: September 27, 2024, 07:14:19 pm »
Hello, I have been running OPNSense 24.7.4 for a good while on an APU 1d (PC-Engines). Today, while doing some other re-configuration (enabling RRD and reconfiguring some gateways successfully), I decided to upgrade to 24.7.5. That worked well but alas about an half hour into running the upgraded system my browser (Firefox) started to respond sluggishly to the OPNSense web interface. That lasted for another half hour and then the OPNSense web interface stopped responding altogether. Reboot of the firewall did not make any difference. I have connected a serial console and that works fine. And the firewall itself seems to be completely up in running. But what I also notice is about 40 php-cgi processes, all in an interrupted state, which are all child processes of lighttpd. I have killed lighttpd and the processes go away. Restarted lightttpd and the process are all back. I have looked for error messages but there are none. The lighttpd log shows that the daemon is started, and then, when I stopped it, that the daemon was stopped. Nothing else. I have tried clearing the cache but there was no cache data at all. I have tried reverting but that was a bad idea. I am sort of at a loss here and overlooking something very obvious maybe.
Any help appreciated. Cheers, Anton
