Squid install gone wrong?
-
on the bright side…i have backups of my latest router config, which means option 4 (default the box) and uploading my latest config is a quick fix, but i want to know why the squid package didnt take (to avoid the same issue next time i try to install squid).
edit- i tried resetting to facotry defaults, that error still pops up, not sure how that is possible since it should be resetting to factory defaults....
hmmm
-
remove squid guard package to stop this error during boot before trying to reinstall squid package.

If you do not have access to web gui, remove squidguard files from /usr/local/pkg and /usr/local/www and try a reboot.

Do you have access to pfsense gui? If so, try to uninstall squidguard from system->packages

So you need to learn how to remove files on a unix file system.
access pfsense console (menu 8)
use chdir to access /usr/local/pkg and /usr/local/www
use "rm -f " to remove files. Be careful to do not remove all your pfsense install.
squidguard package files are in this link

honestly you are probably best off doing a fresh install and re-loading your config. I got my box into a state once where the filesystem got messed up and even a factory reset did not fix it. In that situation the best move is probably just to do a clean install from ISO, and then apply your config.

i actually ended up doing a fresh install before a reply was made. i had the .iso i used inside the case of the computer and pfsense installed in 10 minutes (maybe less, i stepped away after the prompts). i wanted to do a restore to see how well the backup config files worked and they worked well….worked as designed.
i was a little disappointed that i didn't uncheck the box to save rrd graph info, but that wasnt a huge deal.
however, i am still glad i got the info from marcelloc incase a package install doesnt go as planned, in the future.
