504 Gateway Time-out

jimp

Sounds like it's having trouble reaching the update servers or is doing so extremely slowly.

Open an SSH connection to the firewall, or the serial console, and try to update it from the shell using:

pfSense-upgrade -d

See what that command outputs.

@dwighthenry61 Is DNS running?

dwighthenry61

@steveits yes DNS is running. I am using unbound.

@jimp ill try it when I get back home tomorrow, thank you.

@jimp tried running the command, got a command not found.

Make sure you type it exactly as shown, including the capital S in pfSense-upgrade -d

@jimp the return message is
Updating repositories metadata...
Updating pfSense-core repository catalogue...
Aug 17 18:40:00 pfSense syslogd: /var/log/watchdogd.log: No such file or directory

I checked the folder and see that there is a watchdogd file, but it does not have the .log extension. Should I change that??

jimp

That message isn't likely to be related.

Does nothing else show up at all?

And you did run that from a console shell prompt or SSH, right? Not from the GUI.

@jimp yes sir, from the shell prompt.
