Squid problems please advise

[mechanicalmetal]

Hey guys,

Having some major issues with squid since I installed it last night. I installed Squid, Lightsquid, and SquidGuard. I only configured squid and went through SquidGuard a good bit, since most settings I can configure later. I woke up this morning to check system logs and heres what I see:

Aug 21 09:07:51 squid[22091]: Exiting due to repeated, frequent failures

And the messages continue to be redundant. Can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong? Also, squidguard says STOPPED. No matter how many times I reinstall/uninstall all squid packages.

I am running v 1.2.1 pfsense.

Thanks guys,

Brandon

Run 'squid -z' to create swap directories.

Can you tell me how to run squid -z? I have no idea where to input it for a program. I tried console and it did nothing. Sorry im a noob.

GUI>>Diagnostics>>Command prompt
–-
Execute Shell command

input in Command line: squid -z
press (Execute) button.
