SquidGuard 1.2.0_1 & pfsense 1.2 release only works without logging

Hi
Sorry i have difficulties in understanding you post
SG work only if disabled any log (acl, destinations)?
What permissions in /var/squidGuard and subfiles? Must be 'proxy\644(or 755)'

yeah thats right, SG only works if you uncheck/disable the logging options in every ACL, in Default, every destination and on the general settings page.
the permissions of /var/squidGuard and its trees were root:wheel drwxr-xr-x, i have changed them to proxy:proxy and it still wont work.

i thought it might be something weird with my setup so i backed up the config and reinstalled from a format. restored the config file after adding the necessary packages and it performs exactly the same! so im guessing its a config problem?

dvserg

chown -R -v proxy /var/squidGuard
chmod -R -v 0755 /var/squidGuard

@dvserg:

chown -R -v proxy /var/squidGuard
chmod -R -v 0755 /var/squidGuard

still no luck,
if i enable a log button this appears in /var/squid/log/cache.log

2008-08-26 08:23:23 [65179] (squidGuard): can't write to logfile /var/log/squidGuard.log

then when i turn the logging off -
2008/08/26 08:24:07| helperOpenServers: Starting 3 'squidGuard' processes
2008-08-26 08:24:07 [65712] (squidGuard): can't write to logfile /var/log/squidGuard.log

and it works again.

thanks for your help…

ok, just changed the permissions on the /var/log/squidGuard.log and that message has gone from squids log.
in squidGuards log tab i cant view squidGuard.log due to
"squidguard_log report disabled"
although there isnt a menu to turn logging on or off. im sure i did see one a few weeks ago on the general settings tab?

i have just reinstalled the package on squid and squidguard to see if that helps.. it didnt but i got a new version of squid. :)

thanks

I'm having the same issue

with all logs off, squidguard works
I only enabled log in Default after which

in /var/log/squidGuard.log:
syntax error in configfile /usr/local/etc/squidGuard/squidGuard.conf line 61
going into emergency mode

my /usr/local/etc/squidGuard/squidGuard.conf:
acl {
#
default {
pass worksites whitelist !blacklist !pornsites !media_block all
redirect 301:http://myserver/sqerror.htm
#line 61# log {SQUIDGUARD_ACCESSBLOCK_FILE}
}

I'm not sure if the log {SQUIDGUARD_ACCESSBLOCK_FILE} format is pfsense specific, but all example file use the format is
log block.log

You can find
"log {SQUIDGUARD_ACCESSBLOCK_FILE}"
strings in /usr/local/pkg/squidguard_configurator.inc and replace it to
"log " . SQUIDGUARD_ACCESSBLOCK_FILE
and 'Apply' in GUI.

–-
Possible renew GUI, bug fixed.
