      I have a pfSense router showing current firmware at 2.4.3 with the message that the system is on the current version. However the current version should be 2.4.4. Is there a method to fix this issue?

          I followed the instructions, ran the script, which created a long list but at the end had errors. It still shows 2.4.3 as current. Here is the last section with the errors:
          Installed packages to be REINSTALLED:
          pkg-1.10.3_1 [pfSense]
          pfSense-repo-2.4.3_2 [pfSense]
          pfSense-upgrade-0.42 [pfSense]

          Number of packages to be reinstalled: 3

          3 MiB to be downloaded.

            Is there some kind of proxy ahead of this system that might be interfering with its ability to directly download files?

            It shouldn't have a size mismatch on fetching pkg like that, unless it's either not completing the https request it made, or maybe if there is a disk problem affecting the package that was downloaded.

              There is no proxy. Directly connected to the cable modem. However I do see that there are 256 PHP errors in the top right notification area. These errors all seem to by listed as "type: 64, file". Not sure what all these errors mean.

                What is the full error message?

                Sounding more and more like it might be a disk/storage problem

                  It appears to be the same 2 errors over and over:

                    That could be more from a failed upgrade then. Maybe it got partway and bombed out.

                    Before you do anything else, take a backup and make sure it's OK. If the backup isn't good, you can use ssh/scp to grab a copy of /conf/config.xml

                    The fastest way to get back up and going again would be to reinstall. You can recover the config from the existing install to speed things up: https://www.netgate.com/docs/pfsense/backup/automatically-restore-during-install.html

                    If a reinstall is off the table, you can try this: https://www.netgate.com/docs/pfsense/install/upgrade-troubleshooting.html#forced-pkg-reinstall

                    But given the other errors you are seeing, a reinstall would be the fastest and safest way to get it working. Assuming the disk is OK.

                      Thanks for all the help. Since client is a 24/7 operation I'm going to suggest they replace this old unit with an SG-3300. Then we'll try the reinstall on the old unit and save it as a backup.
