      404 is the correct response from that URL.

      If you want to see something try http://updates.pfsense.org/_updaters/version which returns a small file with the current version number.

            Is there any files or logs we can look at to help track this down?

              Seeing those PHP errors often means some file is missing or corrupted. Have you installed/uninstalled any packages?
              If there is nothing helpful in the system log then it would a matter of digging in the code to see what is being passed to the php code that it can't handle and why.

              You may have found a legitimate bug of course.

              At this point, unless you really have a need to know why this happened, I would probably reinstall and see if it is repeatable.

              Edit: You could look in /tmp/PHP_errors.log
