Do a fresh install and make sure your virtual disk has enough free space for upgrades.
-
pfSense 2.4.4_1 was a fresh install, the virtual disk is 16 GB, that should be enough right?
-
pfSense doesn't use that file. Even if it did exist, it would only contain:
# THIS FILE DOES NOTHING, DO NOT MAKE CONFIG CHANGES HEREThe fact that it is missing makes me wonder if your disk is OK, though. Might have some filesystem corruption or a disk problem.
-
Will install again then, just for sure, thanks!
