I can’t start squid without problems under pfSense 1.0.1

termin

I am looking for a reliable and easy proxy/firewall for about 60 users, I found pfSense and made some tests under Vmware Server 1.0.1.

1)I installed new clear pfSense 1.0.1, snort 2.6.1.3_2 and squid 2.6.5_1-p15 packages.
It seems that squid works, but during reboot pfSense stops at the line:
"Stopping /usr/ local/etc/rc.d/proxy_monitor.sh…"

At next step I installed current pfSense 1.0.1-SNAPSHOT-03-15-2007
(built on Sat Mar 17 10:47:32 EDT 2007), snort 2.6.1.3_2 and squid 2.6.5_1-p15 packages.

During restart I observed messages:
“Beginning package installation for 0…
Installing squid and its dependencies
(.....)
Squid cache... One moment please...”

..and I had about 8 squid's under Status–>Services

Next, I uninstalled and reinstalled squid from the package GUI, and during restart I don’t have messages about installation but I see:
“Syncing packages: XML error: not well-formed (invalid token) at line 1”

I have just one squid under Status–>Services, but…

…when I want change proxy port and click save button.. I have the message:
“The following input errors were detected: You can not run squid on the same port as the webgui”

Transparent proxy is disabled….
I uninstalled snort but no difference.…

Is it possible to use squid module in productional environment or it is not yet enough stable version?

Upgrade to a recent snapshot.

I installed from the iso image (http://snapshots.pfsense.com/FreeBSD6/RELENG_1/iso/pfSense.iso.gz):
1.0.1-SNAPSHOT-03-15-2007
(built on Mon Mar 19 15:39:33 EDT 2007)

…..no difference with last:
1.0.1-SNAPSHOT-03-15-2007
(built on Sat Mar 17 10:47:32 EDT 2007)

I discovered that the message “You can not run squid on the same port as the webgui” appears during the configuration using HTTPS as webGUI protocol only.

Hello,

I have the same situation with:

1)I installed new clear pfSense 1.0.1 and squid 2.6.5_1-p15 packages.
It seems that squid works, but during reboot pfSense stops at the line:
"Stopping /usr/ local/etc/rc.d/proxy_monitor.sh…"

The webgui port is 10000.

Squid requires a recent snapshot. Search the forum.

Same problems with 1.0.1-SNAPSHOT-03-27-2007

Sorry but I am not seeing this problem on the latest snapshot. Maybe a reinstall is in order.

I had a similar problem with a latest snapshot (13 april 2007). I found a error in a squid.log: /var/squid/cache/swap.state: (13) Permission denied. Squid not started and proxy_monitor.sh tries to start it again and again. After chmod /var/squid/cache/swap.state all working fine.

Hello, I had this problem too.

Using snapshot http://snapshots.pfsense.com/FreeBSD6/RELENG_1/updates/pfSense-Full-Update-1.0.1-SNAPSHOT-03-27-2007.tgz

Should be fixed now. Thanks.
