23.01 Squid issue

JonathanLee

@stephenw10 I did a full fresh USB install with formatting the old firewall first and that error did not return. It was something that went wrong with the upgrade in place for me.

stephenw10

And you imported the config that didn't have an reverse squid tags present?

JonathanLee

@stephenw10 yes, this was done with a imported the config, again this was the config after the resave of the reverse proxy being disabled.

stephenw10

Ah, Ok that would have had the Reverse Squid tags in it then. So, yes, that's what I would expect.

@stephenw10 Thanks a lot

That's a different error. It's in Squidguard not squid: /usr/local/pkg/squidguard.inc:1193

I added the variation you're seeing to the open bug for this:

didnt help

Ive tried it today, but still the same error

Did it create the reverse squid config section i your config file?

psUser

I see something liek that [ this is exactly the end of that config file : /usr/local/etc/squid/squid.conf

stephenw10

No, I mean in the main pfSense config file (/cfconf/config.xml) did it create a set of tags: <squidreversegeneral>
The lack of that config section is what causes that error.

stephenw10

Ok, so if you save the settings on the Squid Reverse page does that config get populated?

Where exactly are you seeing the error?

psUser

@stephenw10

if I do change or with changing anything I press "save" button, I will be "redirected" to some page:

No FreeBSD crash data found.```

and any change isnt saved, and as I see doesnt get populated

psUser

@stephenw10

ok I make it works :

disabled in GUI - save worked
changed interfaces for squid - save button still works

from now on I wasnt able to enable in GUI squid, so Ive enabled squid by changing cfg file:

<enable_squid></enable_squid>
into
<enable_squid>on</enable_squid>

opened GUI and started squid, changes for now works

ofc save button still behave as it was before, so Im not able to make any changes in squid in GUI.

stephenw10

Hmm, and the <squidreversegeneral> section remains empty? You're unable to save the Reverse Squid page?

psUser

@stephenw10
yes empty,

                </patches>
                <squidreversegeneral></squidreversegeneral>
                <ntopng>
                        <config>
                                <enable>on</enable>
                                <keepdata>on</keepdata>

and yes Im unable to save the Reverse Squid page with the same error.

stephenw10

And that was the case both with and without Squid enabled?

Hmm, unclear what could cause that then. We might need to see your config directly to know more.

You should add your variation to the open bug for this:

It seems to me that squidguard is a dead project. The website for the project is down, and the last snapshot on the wayback machine for the site was almost a year ago. The error is blocking us from upgrading our firewalls. Should we consider using another solution, or will NetGate try to upgrade the package?
