      So after shutting down the firewall yesterday and now turning it back on Squid will not start again. I'll also mention that I have 2 identical pieces of hardware and my current production firewall that is in place is not the logs you see. I restored a backup to the test/backup firewall so all settings would be back. Anyways I'm trying to get this going on my backup firewall so when the time comes it will be easy to switch the working one over.

      Should I just completely wipe my backup firewall and start over with the pfSense install, then install all packages, rules, settings, etc? If I do is there anything special on installing squid + squidGuard on a fresh install?

      Again, thanks for the help!

      When trying to start from the console getting the following error:
      [2.0.1-RELEASE][root@pfsense.ps]/root(2): /usr/local/etc/rc.d/squid.sh start
      FATAL: Bungled squid.conf line 4: http_port 127.0.0.1:3128 intercept
      Squid Cache (Version 2.7.STABLE9): Terminated abnormally.

      Here are the system logs: Again both squid and squidGuard fail to start

        So I did a fresh install on my backup firewall server. Installed Squid3, then installed squidGuard. Still getting errors on squidGuard, trying to reinstall the package getting this error.

        Fatal error: Cannot use string offset as an array in /usr/local/pkg/squidguard.inc on line 946

        Trying to remove the package, getting this error. Any ideas?

          Squidguard error says that there is no squid xml config saved.

          Save squid config setup, install squidguard and then force squid3 install again as squidguard forces squid2.

              maybe squidguard installed squid2 after squid3 install.

              are you sure you reinstalled squid3?

              if so, try to uninstall squid3 and then install again.

                I did a pkg_info and saw that squid3 and squid-2.7.9_1 and squidGuard-1.4_4

                So I uninstalled squid3 and then installed it again and now squid is running.

                Doing a pkg_info im still showing squid-2.7.9_1, squid-3.1.20, squidGuard-1.4_4.

                Should squid 2 not be there? Now that squid3 is running what should i try to get squidGuard working?

                  Now, just set up squidguard gui.

                      squidguard then squid3.

                      if it fails to install, then install squid, squidguard, remove squid install squid3
