      It's working in my VM now, but slower than before. I'll update my other thread for that.

        Ok, squid installed and ran (slowly) in my vm, so I decided to give it another try on my home machine. Unfortunately it still exits immediately (which is significantly sooner than before) on signal 6. From the system log (recent on top):

        Aug 18 18:06:55 	kernel: pid 29420 (squid), uid 62: exited on signal 6
        Aug 18 18:06:55 	squid[29389]: Squid Parent: child process 29420 exited due to signal 6
        Aug 18 18:06:55 	squid[29389]: Squid Parent: child process 29420 started
        

        I have /var/squid mounted from a separate partition. The permissions look correct to me, but maybe there's a problem here?

        ls -lah /var/squid
        
        total 10
        drwxr-xr-x   5 proxy  proxy   512B Aug 18 18:15 .
        drwxr-xr-x  26 root   wheel   512B Aug 15 19:15 ..

        drwxr-xr-x   2 proxy  proxy   512B Aug 18 18:15 acl

          I haven't reinstalled the package in a couple days, is this still happening for you?

              Anyone have any luck with squid on BETA4 x86-64?  I'm having the same errors:

                nope not working on x64,
                just switch to 32bit version,
                but, if you are using PPTP VPN, forget it, after you enable VPN, its not working any more, until you disableVPN again :)

                  I have squid 2.7.9-1 package installed in a vm pfsense. It runs, but performance is poor (there is an open thread for that too).

                  I have squid 2.7.9-2 package installed in another pfsense instance (hardware), and squid still exits on signal 6.

                  I see that 2.7.9-3 is now available, so will have to test that.

                    Looks like it's still got signal 6 issues. Seems no matter how it's compiled by the automated system (I've tried making several changes) it still has those issues for whatever reason, but when I compile it by hand, it works.

                        I am having a Squid issue using the latest amd64 pfSense-2.0-BETA4-20101002-1259.iso. Below is the error I am getting. I checked the squid.inc, squid.xml and squid.conf and all state user proxy and group proxy. If I chown -R squid:squid /var/squid then squid -z the cache is created and I can start squid. However if I make any change to the gui it will reset owner of /var/squid to proxy:proxy. I have only noticed this with the latest version of squid.

                        Any help would be greatly appreciated.

                        Thanks

                          That is the same error (signal 6 crash) that everyone else in this thread has. It's a known issue.

                            Thanks Jimp,

                            To the best of your knowledge is there a work around?

                            I am not a programmer but I would be happy to help with testing. Just let me know if there is anything i can do to help.

                            Thank you,

                              No, not right now. It's a problem with the package builder itself.

                                I really want to use squid but I don't want to switch to i386.

                                  I've been trying to work on it over the past couple days but haven't yet had any more luck/progress. It's still unclear why it is crashing in that manner, or which component/aspect of the build system is to blame for certain.

                                  I haven't tried it yet this morning to see if the changes I made yesterday would have had any effect with the full automated build from overnight.

                                    I would give it a try if it wouldn't totally wreck all http traffic (https is still fine though).

                                      That's why I test it on a VM I use for development that has no LAN (unless I put another VM behind it) :-)

                                        i have 64bit machine, and i switch to 32bit version, and it works perfect for me.
                                        try to swich to 32bit until guys solve this problem .

                                          I've disabled the automated building of squid and replaced the bad file with a known good version, so this should be safe for now.
