        Since I am experiencing the same issue, an inability to upgrade from 2.3 to 2.3.1, I'm going to assume either you and I are doing the same wrong thing, or there is actually something that may have slipped out the door.  :-\

          Upgrades fine in all testing, and all the files are in place now. What specifically are you getting?

            Try the upgrade again. For me it failed once saying that the repository upgrade failed. Everything worked fine on the second try.

                Wow! I did not expect a response so quickly.  After five attempts, I am pasting from the update screen:

                Updating repositories metadata…
                Updating pfSense-core repository catalogue...
                pfSense-core repository is up-to-date.
                Updating pfSense repository catalogue...
                pfSense repository is up-to-date.
                All repositories are up-to-date.
                Upgrading pkg... failed.
                Failed

                  I guess the package servers are being hammered at the moment since you're getting an error at a different stage than I did. Give it more tries.

                    don't know why but it works for me

                      If it spits out failed, there, go to SSH, option 8, and run:

                      pfSense-upgrade -d

                      and post the output.

                        Rebooting the system did nothing for me.  Here is the output from the upgrade command via ssh:

                        I suppose I'll wait a bit and try again on the chance that I won't be competing for a spot at the trough .  ;D

                        UPDATE: going to http://pkg.pfsense.org/pfSense_v2_3_0_amd64-pfSense_v2_3_0/All/, I see the file pkg-1.6.2_2.txz but not pkg-1.7.2_2.txz.

                              I'm getting the same behaviour on my side. However, why does the system look in pkg: http://pkg.pfsense.org/pfSense_v2_3_0_amd64-pfSense_v2_3_0/All and not in http://pkg.pfsense.org/pfSense_v2_3_1_amd64-pfSense_v2_3_1/All/ directory?

                              PS: I'm new to pkg.

                                The upgrade fails to switch to the correct repository for some reason. On the second try when my upgrade succeeded  I witnessed a message that said "Repository x has a wrong packagesite, need to re-create database" or something like that and it then proceeded to re-download all the repository catalogues using the correct addresses.

                                    I seem to have found a fix:

                                    Login to SSH # 8

                                    Run: pfSense-upgrade -u

                                    You should be able to run the upgrade like normal with option # 13 or via the GUI. Not sure on cause, but this fixes it.

                                      Tried another time and it worked OK.

                                      This was from the GUI and not from command line.

                                        either that updated the repo URL, or you just happened to catch it after I fixed the source of the issue. No need to do that at this point.

                                          Had the same issue, I just kept trying. Eventually the servers will get through everyone. A staggered release may be in order for the next one, assuming more update  servers are added by then.

                                          pfSense WE LOVE GUYS. Keep up the great work.
