[Solved] Unable to get to the WebUI, it just times out.

[JRC]

It was working, then it stopped working, no changes were made on the opnSense box, the only thing that changes was the possible expiration of the self signed cert used for the webui, but I would expect that to give me a security error and not a time out. I get the same timeout when I try non-ssl traffic, but I believe that is to be expected.

As near as I can tell Lighttpd is running:

Code: [Select]

I tried restarting lighttpd

Code: [Select]

configctl webgui restart
and when that did not work I ran:

Code: [Select]

configctl webgui restart renew
curl also times out, on from the local cli on the opnsense box aswell:

Code: [Select]


*** OPNsense.domain.tld: OPNsense 21.7.8 (amd64/OpenSSL) ***

 LAN (lagg0)     -> v4: <lan_ip>/24
 WAN (bce3)      -> v4/DHCP4: <public_ip>/23


curl https://<lan_ip>

curl: (28) Failed to connect to 192.168.2.1 port 443 after 75018 ms: Operation timed out

Not sure where to go from here. So any help would be greatly appreciated.

I am running 21.7.8, and plan to go to 22 as soon as I can get this fixed. Oh, and I can ssh in just fine, form a machine that has a firewall rule that allows all traffic to get to the opnsense box itself (again, this was all working not too long ago, before the cert expired).

[JRC]

Well it turns out that I was using the wrong port (443) instead of 8443. I found this out by going into the /conf/config.xml file, then locating the webui section and seeing what it was set to there.

It works now, with the expired cert and all.

Going to leave this here rather than deleting it. Hopefully it'll help someone in the future.
