PfSense 2.0.1-RELEASE with Squid & HAVP = major problems
-
I suggest you going package by package.
First a clean install and then, only hapv.
After stress test, include squid and go on until you find where it stops.
Did you found any docs about squid + squidguard + hapv together?
-
Fresh install (once again :'( ) and already I have problems:
Installing HAVP, I get :

Check dns name resolution. I always first disable dns forwarder before anything else.

i got same problem, after upgrade from pfSense 2.0.0 to 2.0.1. all my installation package is lost (squid ,squid guard, proxy report etc).
cannot be reinstalled, error message like posted by : lpallard
my upgrade file is pfSense-Full-Update-2.0.1-RELEASE-i386.tgz
is there something wrong with my upgrade ?regards
-
Nothing wrong, just wait files.pfsense.org get back.
-
Still down this morning.. They dont have mirrors?
Anyways, all we can do for now is to wait.
-
Its a problem if a site goes down and a lot of inst. fail or dont receive updates asf….
And people cant get on with installing everything. Is it possible to create an offsite line install where pacakages can be DL and installed from another location?
-
Still fail..
Ive just successfully updated to the latest version of pfsense
2.0.1-RELEASE (amd64) built on Mon Dec 12 18:43:51 EST 2011 FreeBSD 8.1-RELEASE-p6but trying to install HAVP I still get:
Installation of HAVP antivirus FAILED! Beginning package installation for HAVP antivirus... Downloading package configuration file... done. Saving updated package information... done.

-
Just wait http://files.pfsense.org get back.
-
Yeah that what I figured… its still down. Will wait.
But the pfsense devs should really consider a mirroring system of some sort.. Imagine if sites like kernel.org or the mirrors and repositories for the other major linux distros were doing this..

Hello guys
I'm sure you're aware of all the problems.
I'm not new to pfsense, so it is my fault for not checking first, but I've been trying since 7am this morning to get my pfS box working. I wanted to upgrade to the new version, thought I'd do it today. Well…. surpirse, I couldn't even reinstall squid or anything. Eventually I thought I messed up somewhere and reinstsalled (stupid), at least i have backup from monday... but the problem is I'm now at home, waiting for the update site to get back online so that I can reinstall & config everything (downloading 2.0.1 right now, hoping) - I have about 200 user already configured for proxy, so I'm stressing, 'cos I can't figure out how to port forward 8080 proxy to 80 on the outside so that they can bypass proxy and I can't wait till next week to get everyone working again. Otherwise I have to change all of them users to get out bypassing proxy and change back later... I only saw some post about 2 hours after I reinstalled that the update/ downlload site is down... now I'm buggered. I learnt a lesson though, but it is freaking me out - gonna go for IPcop just to get everybody to stop complaining soon (11 pm here, work starts at 7 am) and then try to work around the prblem later on.... what happened; you get hacked or some serious power outage or what... hope you get all running again SOON. When abouts can we expect all to 2 b normal again - please guys, I'm not gonna sleep until I know my customer can do online baning and mailing tomorrow morning... I relaised it wasn't my config or your product, just not thinking.... shoulda left all as is, but I'm stufft as we sit here... please tell us how long till we can get going again...
Thanks for a greatest product this side of the world and for your dedication and work, all of you... you don't understand - africa is different and not as hot as you are in the US or EU... I love pfS and I actively try to compete with MS ISA / Foreforont over here, and doing a damn good job of it... :-) -
You can try to install freebsd 8.1 squid package and configure it by hand until files.pfsense get back.

As per cmb, files.pfsense.org is back and it won't happen again.

OK its been a few days now that things were not too bad, but now: BOOM again! pfsense is acting again…. Right now, it refuses to deliver http://forum.xbmc.org/ and I get an error page like:
HAVP - DNS error HAVP A DNS error occurred while opening the page forum.xbmc.org Please contact your tech supportWhy? I really dont know. This morning I accessed this forum without problems. Snort does not block anything the blocked list is empty. Squidguard's is deactivated
Im really tired of the randomness… It works now, 5 minutes later, it no longer works.. Why? I bet even God doesnt know.
Here are the problems, on top of this thread (and my 10 other threads on this forum):
Problems accessing youtube (buffing for 15-30 sec every minute or so while playing, plus takes about 3 to 5 minutes to start the video playback)
random websites stops going thru pfsense (forum.xbmc.org, www.mls.ca, this forum also stopped working at some point)...
Firefox behaves very strangely (like right now, it permanently says "Transferring data from forum.pfsense.org..." in the corner, and the "wheel contonuously spins in the page tab)I dont know how many times I mentioned this, but pfsense IS the problem. I plug my laptop directly to the cable modem, and BANG it works..!
What will it be next?I am getting to miss my stupid D-Link router.. Anybody cares to step forward and help me before I abandon pfsense? I really believes in the project, but to be honest, if I had a good run at it I would be more confidant to use it….
-
I think the best way now is to buy few paid support hours or contact havp package maintainer.
I do not have this problems but I do not use havp.
Dansguardian package with antivirus is under devel. Maybe when It's done you will have no need to use havp.
-
Do you have antivirus on your dlink?
If your problem is with havp, why not just disable it and use only squid+squidguard?
It will do more then dlink.
-
What puzzles me is that I seem to be the only one with such problems… Am I or its that nobody cares (except you of course)?
Hell, I thought some websites actually banned my IP since ive been several weeks without being able to access them... Going to the cable modem directly solved it. Browsing feels also much much much snappier...
-
Forgot to mention this: if there are really problems in the packages, the devs NEED to know about it.
