Hello team,
cleaning up aliases, I made the folowing change to an entry.
- downcase Www to www
- add ip 72.233.69.89
After saving the alias and applying, webconfigurator never restarted until I went to console,
enter /conf/backup; copy previous save to ../config.xml
Restart webconfigurator(11) was not enougth. Need full Restart(5)

it's not that simple. need the specific problem, this isn't adequate as a bug report. I suspect it's an installed package of some sort.

no, no other addon, pure valilla pfsense 2.0 !
It is not my habit to spell www.something Www.something.
I have notice two or more other alias with upcase first letter!
I dont think the IP addition is the problem. If you tell me where lighthttpd outputs its logs I can check for more precision.

ok,
new freeze of web interface WITHOUT modification.
This eliminates totally 'syntax error'
I made following investigation :
go /usr/local/www
#php index.php
....html .. pentential rebind attack ....
This test validate php+configurator
Going to webbrother
wget https//:123.123.123.123/index.html freezes. Excepted at leat the Rebind attach page.
If the brother asks for the certificate, it correctly receive it. Then NOTHING.
Tcpdump shows the client sending to pfsense as last exchange.
Restarting lighthttpd does nothing.
The problem is like if the pipe beetween php output and httpd is broken or if not httpd result is not sent to network...
The last page I called before freezing was : status_graph.php, displayed but never updated.
Restarting pfsense again fixed the broken chain.

Probably the rate command is hanging on status_graph.php and if a command hangs like that, it hangs up fastcgi, which makes the web interface start working.
Next time try:
killall -9 rate
If that doesn't bring it back, try:
killall -9 php; killall -9 lighttpd; /etc/rc.restart_webgui
The rate command transitions the interface you're watching into promiscuous mode, and certain (older) NICs can flip out a little when that happens. I would suspect you'd have a similar issue with packet capture locking up on you, but it may be something else altogether.
As another test, you could mv /usr/local/www/bandwidth_by_ip.php to another location and then see if the traffic graph works without rate.

well,I will try to unlock as suggested next time if it happens again.
Something I did not mention here, related to the hardware : the pfsense runs on ESXI4.0 without wmware tools.
The NIC driver is the one from pfsense bsd (E1000).
When web control is lost, is it from LAN nic and from WAN nic together and pfsense is routing/filtering as usual.
