Cant access web ui - and cant find the HTTPSD process on the system!

Hi Guys 

Starting two weeks ego my FGT200E web UI stopped responding, giving ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED 

nosing and  diagnosing, it appears that the HTTPS  daemon is not running 

did some top commands and 

#dia sys process pidof httpsd

gives no answer, nor the top shows any httpsd daemon runs on the system 

I also restarted the box two days  ego, and still no HTTPS access 

 

i run the FortiGate-200E v6.4.10,build2000,220824 (GA.M)

 

 

 

What would be the next step 

Appriciate

ok - issue resolved 

it was the admin cert issue 

so what was done is 

 

config system global
set admin-server-cert self-sign
end

and Web-ui came back as new 

thanks

Please check get system global | grep admin-server-cert, and make sure that some certificate is selected. I've seen similar behaviour a few times in the past when the admin GUI certificate mysteriously became un-configured.

Thanks for posting 

i typed and got an empty line .. i am not sure what was before 

i guess it should contain the factory cert  ?
