        Hi, I had DG and Squid running perfectly till….... I changed the reporting to "full reporting" then everything went down. I wasn't able to restart DG from the service manager and reboot, so i tried to reinstall the pkg. and Squid went down so reinstalled it as well, So now somehow both don't restart. any help would be appreciated.
        TIA

        P.S. in general DG doesn't start from the pkg menu.

          Services tab on 2.0.1 needs a Fix.

          Are you using squid3? If so, reinstall it after dansguadian.

          Try to start dansguardian on console to check if it's returning errors.

              check all config tabs, startup script is looking for files that was not created by package config.

                    Hello,
                    I followed the instruction on how to do the setup. All fine and all works.
                    I get a issue with squid not starting so I reinstalled it. Both DG and squid start.

                    But nothing is blocked. what am I missing?

                    Thanks
                    Iain

                      what you get on system logs?

                      did you tried to stop dansguardian and start again?

                      Are you using 2.12.0.3 or 2.12.0.3_1?

                        Hello
                        So I am using
                        Dansguardian 2.12.0.3 pkg v.0.1.7_3
                        Squid 3.1.20 pkg 2.0.6

                        I uninstalled both and rebooted. And installed one at a time, rebooting inbetween.
                        Both services are running without issues now.

                        Still not blocking the example site. "Badboys.com".
                        Will check log later.

                        Thanks

                          Hello,
                          No real changes and it is working again….
                          Is it taking the time setting from somewhere... I haven't enabled it

                          Time limiting syntax:

                          #time: <start hour=""><start minute=""><end hour=""><end minute=""><days># Example:

                          ##time: 9 0 17 0 01234

                          Remove the first # from the line above to enable this list only from

                          9am to 5pm, Monday to Friday.

                          Will add a few screen shots later.</days></end></end></start></start>

                            to confirm it, try to mess up the time config like

                            #tixmxex: 9 0 17 0 01234
