Restart SMB WebUI process (HTTPD)

[Pedro_Espindola]

Hello everyone,

Is there a way to restart httpd process on SMB appliances?

I am looking for something equivalent to tellpm process:httpd2; tellpm process:httpd2

Curious, why do you need to restart httpd?

Every few weeks Captive Portal and UserCheck redirection will start to fail. Computers I will be able to reach captive portal using its URL, but in mobile devices not even that solves. This is rare, but it is a pain.

I can only fix it by rebooting, so I was thinking that maybe restarting the service might help.

I tried sfwd_restart, and stop, start. Doesn't help.

These are part of multiportal.

You should be able to restart the UserCheck portal by using the expert command mpclient restart UserCheck

Thank you! I'll try that one!

Hello..I am facing a similar problem after installing new certificates..how do you restart all certs ? 

[G_W_Albrecht]

Try fw_configload instead! Here, the policy gets recompiled.

Have you tried:

expert# webd_init.sh restart

I always use this when I have trouble with WEB UI, but I'm not sure if this really toggles the original thttpd process.

Thank you, Tom.

This time it was actually an issue with the certificates. I had to restart all certificates.

I'll test your command next time a portal is misbehaving.
