SquidGuard gives errors on blacklist files even when not in use
-
Hi,
I guess this is addressed somewhere but I didn't find a dead on match so..
When I try to enable squidGuard it doesn't start and prompts:
_The following input errors were detected:
* (B1) BLACKLIST 'ads' error: file '/var/db/squidGuard/ads' not found
* (B1) BLACKLIST 'aggressive' error: file '/var/db/squidGuard/aggressive' not found
* (B1) BLACKLIST 'audio-video' error: file '/var/db/squidGuard/audio-video' not found
* (B1) BLACKLIST 'drugs' error: file '/var/db/squidGuard/drugs' not found
* (B1) BLACKLIST 'gambling' error: file '/var/db/squidGuard/gambling' not found
* (B1) BLACKLIST 'hacking' error: file '/var/db/squidGuard/hacking' not found
* (B1) BLACKLIST 'mail' error: file '/var/db/squidGuard/mail' not found
* (B1) BLACKLIST 'porn' error: file '/var/db/squidGuard/porn' not found
* (B1) BLACKLIST 'proxy' error: file '/var/db/squidGuard/proxy' not found
* (B1) BLACKLIST 'violence' error: file '/var/db/squidGuard/violence' not found
* (B1) BLACKLIST 'warez' error: file '/var/db/squidGuard/warez' not found_This is prompted even though the check box for enabling squidGuard on General settings tab is NOT checked (=hence one would think it didn't care about any blacklists in place or not).
So, do I have to put blacklist files in there even though I'm note using them?
TIA,

On your Squid "Proxy Server: General Settings" page there is a box that says "Custom Options". In that box what does it say?
For instance mine says:
"redirect_program /usr/local/bin/squidGuard -c /usr/local/etc/squidGuard/squidGuard.conf;redirector_bypass on;redirect_children 3"
If there is anything in there delete it and squidGuard for sure won't be called. -
Otto, probably first you configure SG on inplaced blacklist, and after download other blacklist ?
You must go to Default and to the each ACL and reconfigure and save (then Apply).- If you change blacklist type(source) to other, you must check all Acl's - Becose selected Dest rules already deleted and replaced by new dest-rules from new blacklist.
ps This is one, why i can't add 'autoupdate blacklist'.

I did try to use squidguard initially to filter only a few domains added manually under 'destinations'. -

Ok then… I'll have to do some more testing it seems. I have tested adding the blacklist from 'shalla' and loading that and ticking the 'use blacklist' box made the previous errors go away. I did however initially not want the blacklist feature to be used - I tried to add domain to be filtered manuall - but maybe I misunderstodd something.
I have tested 2 different blacklists and tried to re-save default and ACL but I cannot get the service to start now. I see no errors though.
I'll try to read up on links provided in other threads then...Thanks,
