23.01 Squid issue

hugoeyng

@ben-ihelputech what do you mean with "Do you have two pfSense boxes?"

ben-ihelputech

@hugoeyng Then you probably don't have HA setup.
https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/highavailability/index.html

You get two pfsense machines and link them together. If the primary dies, it will seamlessly switch to the secondary. I'm guessing that the SquidGuard PHP TypeError that you're running into is different than the one I'm running into.

JonathanLee

@hugoeyng It's a fail over firewall, or high availability Example is if one firewall fails and goes down the other firewall takes over so the user side in a business, they have no impact it's about 100% uptime. High Availability or (H.A.)

https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/recipes/high-availability.html

JonathanLee

@hugoeyng try to resave the HA settings on pfsense, they might be missing

hugoeyng

@ben-ihelputech I have only one computer running pfSense

added to Redmine #13984

hugoeyng

@jonathanlee Should I do it when the patches are aplied or when they are not?

JonathanLee

@hugoeyng Try to resave that area, my errors pointed to missing config too that I never used. I had to resave reverse squid for my php errors to stop. What is INFIX? Mine shows WAN as default unused value

hugoeyng

@jonathanlee INFIX is a WAN

HA is not active.

I resaved RP too

Did not work.

JonathanLee

@hugoeyng Marcos has created a new patch please see link after your logs were submitted.

https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/13984

JonathanLee

Marcos created a new fix

https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/13984

Fresh New Patch!!!!

as of 5-3-23 4:43PM PST

Please apply both Squid and Squid_guard patches again.

ben-ihelputech

@jonathanlee Looks like that resolved my issue also

JonathanLee

@hugoeyng Hello, I wanted to check with you, did Marcos Patch #3 work? This was made after your logs were sent in.

hugoeyng

@jonathanlee Hello, Jonathan. Thank you for so kindly help.

Yes and no.

The PHP error has gone, but now squidGuard do not start.

When I look in pf Sense services, squidGuard is not there:

Thank you for so kindly help

When I look O.S. process, squdiGuard is there:

When I look to pfSense menu, squidGuard is not there:

I already removed squidGuard e and reinstalled few times.

JonathanLee

@hugoeyng I have had this issue in the past. I had to remove both Squid and Squidguard and lightSquid. After reboot the firewall and install in order Squid proxy first and after Squidguard and that fixed this issue for me. After its both visable install lightsquid. It has to be in that order, or it would not work for me. It was stuck in the in-between land.

stephenw10

If it's not showing as a service or in the menus that means pfSense thinks it is uninstalled. Those things are created from values in the config file. Reinstall it fro the package manager.

hugoeyng

@jonathanlee @stephenw10 I uninstalled Squid, SquidGuard an LightSquid.

After that I rebooted pfSense e started reinstalling in the sequence: Squid, SquidGuard.

Squid, ok.

SqudiGuard, raised the error I had before the patch (13984) and do not correctly install (no appears in menu).

In order to activate squidGuard you have to edit squid.conf
 To the contain "url_rewrite_program /usr/local/bin/squidGuard"

 Sample blacklists have been installed in /usr/local/share/examples/squidGuard.

 A sample configuration file has beeen installed in

 You need to edit the configuration and compile the blacklist
 you choose to use with:
 squidGuard -d -C all

 Please bear in mind that this is just a sample configuration file
 and for any real world usage you need to download or create your
 own updated blacklists and create your own configuration file.

 Check documentation here:

Success

After that I applied the patches for Squid and SquidGuard and rebooted. Even so the SquidGuard do not appear in the menu and do not start.

@hugoeyng said in 23.01 Squid issue:

PHP ERROR: Type: 1, File: /usr/local/pkg/squidguard.inc

What about you delete that file from the firewall if your up for reconfiguring Squidguard like a fresh install and after reinstall that package? It is like you are stuck in a reinstall loop now.

JonathanLee

@hugoeyng I added your notes to the Redmine

hugoeyng

@jonathanlee I did it and didn´t work. Sincerely, I did not see how deleting the file could help.

In another way, you are right when say that I am "stuck in a reinstall loop".

I think taht the way to solve this troble would beinstalling manually the package squidguard. Unpacking the package and replacing squidguard.inc with another squidguard.inc that was submitted to the patch. After that packing again and reinstalling.

I am not able to do something like that.
