Description | This article describes the issue where the FortiGate GUI freezes when editing an IPSec VPN tunnel. The problem occurs when trying to edit the tunnel on the VPN -> IPsec Tunnel Page, causing the page to stop responding. |
Scope | FortiGate. |
Solution |
To resolve this issue:
To change the name, use the following commands:
config vpn ipsec phase1-interface rename <string> to <string> end
fnsysctl killall httpsd
Or, with PID:
diagnose sys process pidof httpsd diagnose sys kill 11 <pid>
The process being killed can be verified by running 'diagnose debug crashlog read' and confirming the output, or by checking if the httpsd has a new process ID in the output of 'fnsysctl ps'.
Collect these outputs while reproducing the issue:
diagnose debug reset diagnose debug application httpsd -1 diagnose debug console timestamp enable diagnose debug enable To disable debugging:
Check whether the HTTPSD process is crashing or not with the CLI command 'diagnose debug crashlog read'. Restarting the HTTPS daemon process by the engineer will result in a crash, which will be present in the 'diagnose debug crashlog read' output; therefore, when the issue is troubleshooted, these crashes caused by restart can be ignored.
Note: If the issue is not resolved, it is recommended to contact FortiGate support for further assistance.
