      Hello All,

      pfSense-2.0.1_RELEASE

      squid
      squidGuard
      Lightsquid

      New install . Downloaded the blacklist from shallalist All appears to download and go through installation without any errors…
      After clicking on SAVE & APPLY I never see any list to select allow.deny,etc.

      Also,,on the blaclist tab the lof box,,,constantlly 'blinks'. Is this to be expected? It is not a big deal,,but I wonder if this indicates underlying problems?
      What am I missing?

      I have run pfSense-1.2.3-RELEASE for 2 years now,,so i am familair with the downloading routine for pfsense.

      Thank You,
      Barry

        What happens when you click on 'click here' at general acl?

          marcelloc,

          pfSense-1.2.3-RELASE
          squid - 2.7.8_1
          squidGuard 1.4.3 v 1.9 # just updated.

          hello,
          thanks you for the feedback.
          i have uninstalled squidGuard several times now. I have finally gotten the blacklist entries to show up under Common ACL tab now. I manually deleted leftover squidGuard configs after uninstaller squidGuard which seemed to allow squidGaurd to 'find' the blacklist.files entry.
          Problem now. When I click on SAVE & Apply in SG  to activate SG ,squid dies.

          the squidGuard squidgaurd_conf.xml shows,,,but,,, squidGuard.conf files never shows the actual blacklist files. This does not seem correct with another working pfSense-1.2.3-RELEASE box at school

          I have updated ( just today) this pfSense-1.2.3-RELASE to squidGuard 1.4.3 v 1.9.
          The other working box is on one version older squidGuard so possibly the  xml parsing is different.
          this box is also still running the squid 2.7.8_1 FYI,,,for completeness to this post.
          I have been fighting this for two days now.
          This is a production pfSense box so would like to get filtering working again,,,needless to say!

          The error thrown when squid dies after enabling squidGuard is simply "squid has too many child processes" ?

          Could someone here possibly post their squidGaurd.conf file that runs SG-1.4.3  with shallalist blacklist so I can see what the file should somehat look like?

          Thank you,
          Barry

              Unless the Blacklist download/apply on the Blacklist tab completes, those items won't show up. If that doesn't work, try another browser (IE is bad, use FF/Chrome).
