pfSense

probably don't need to do anything with this one because of #5719

I'm seeing this pretty regularly trying to configure a brand new SG-4860 with 2.2.6. So I don't think we're quite into the nginx era yet...

The issue is resolved in the new 2.3-BETA - which is in BETA :) so that is why it is marked resolved here.

Orion: this is a very unusual circumstance, if you're hitting something repeatedly it's probably something different. Please get in touch with us via support. We're not fixing this because it's so rare, and lighttpd doesn't exist in the next release.

Signal 11 is "Bus Error".

Causes include: invalid address alignment (accessing a multi-byte value at an odd address), accessing a physical address that does not correspond to any device, or some other device-specific hardware error. A bus error triggers a processor-level exception which Unix translates into a "SIGBUS" signal which, if not caught, will terminate the
current process.

This can be caused by hardware error, or memory problems.

IIRC, lighttpd can use mmap and that's the source of a number of issues. Google for "lighttpd bus error" and see.

I think we should ensure that a) your hardware is ok, and b) the image on disk is OK. As Chris states, best to get in-touch with support.

Since we updated our pfSense from 2.1.x to 2.2.x (currently 2.2.6),
lighttpd is crashing randomly when I try to edit an alias with a lot
of networks (like 5 pages) and Save, Apply Changes, Edit it again a
couple of times.

I don't think it's hardware or memory related as it worked perfectly
with 2.1.x.

The workaround to re-enable to webConfigurator GUI is to SSH to the pfSense
and do 11 (Restart webConfigurator) OR 8 (Shell) on the main menu and type
/usr/local/sbin/lighttpd -f /var/etc/lighty-webConfigurator.conf

Crash of lighttpd over couple hours of editing (a pain)

Why not using nginx with php5-fpm and FastCGI?

Please read the ticket updates before yours. On pfSense 2.3 we are using nginx. That work isn't being backported to 2.2.x, there will be no more 2.2.x releases. pfSense 2.3 is in RC right now, given your situation it is likely more stable than what you have with 2.2.x, unless your hardware really does have an issue.
