      no, just dansguardian bin.

      I've uploaded dansguardian bin to my personal repo :)

      i386
      killall dansguardian
      cd /usr/local/sbin
      fetch http://e-sac.siteseguro.ws/pfsense/8/dansguardian

      amd64
      killall dansguardian
      cd /usr/local/sbin
      fetch http://e-sac.siteseguro.ws/pfsense/8/amd64/dansguardian

            I have just set up Dansguardian for a large site and have experienced the same "web upload is banned" as reported in this thread.

            Package Manager shows 2.12.0.3pkg v.0.1.7_3.

            I've tried downloading the patched binary from http://e-sac.sitesguro.ws/pfsense/8/amd64/dansguardian
            after killing dansguardian.
            When I try to start the new binary I get the message:

            /usr/local/sbin/dansguardian: 1: Syntax error: ")" unexpected
            ./dansguardian.sh WARNING: failed to start dansguardian

            Are you able to help me here, and in particular what steps do I need to follow to resolve the "web upload is banned" problem - thanks

            PS.  to be able to save this post, I had to put an exception for forum.pfsense.org into the sites exception list, to avoid having this post blocked by the same error for which I am seeking help!

              If you copied only dansguardian binary, it should start as it does not touch dansguardian.sh file.

              try to save dansguardian config again to recreate startup script.

                Thanks for the quick reply - I did as you suggested, made a change in DG/PFsense, and saved the change - presumably this recreates the dansguardian.sh script - unfortunately no change.

                Just to recap all I did was:

                1. killall dansguardian
                2. cd /usr/local/sbin
                3. mv dansguardian dansguardian.orig (ie backed up the old version)
                4. fetch https://e-sac….....etc
                This retrieved a file of size 994216 dated feb 8.
                The permissions on this file did not match those on the old version and in particular were not executable.
                So I typed chmod 555 dansguardian and the permissions then matched (ie -r-xr-xr-x)
                5. cd /usr/local/etc/rc.d
                6. ./dansguardian.sh start

                This resulted in the error I reported.

                When I copy the original dansguardian binary back again, the startup script runs without any error.

                Any further thoughts?

                  No. :( Except for the mv dansguardian dansguardian.orig I've did it again here and it started up fine.

                    Hmmmm - I'm not getting anywhere here.
                    If I copy the dansguardian.orig back to dansguardian and run ./dansguardian.sh start , DG starts without error.
                    The "syntax error: " etc seems to be coming from the binary not from the script.

                    I've tried downloading the binary again, and there is no improvement.

                    Could you send the binary to me at neil@darfield.school.nz?

                    Thanks

                      DOH this was my problem - my production servers are all x64 while my development server is x86.
                      I was trying to apply the x64 version of DG to an x86 PFsense install.
                      I've downloaded the x86 version and this starts correctly.
                      Thanks for your replies

                          @samham:

                          Marcello when will you push the patch?

                          I've pushed it to dansguardian sourceforge project.

                          But not for freebsd ports.

                          I'm waiting feedbacks to see if there are other bugs that I can help to fix.

                          Estava com esse problema aqui no dansguardian, só fiz substituir o arquivo que você disponibilizou e pronto!! Problema resolvido !!

                                Yes, but sometimes marcelloc might turn off his server. I remember once I couldn't get something either, but OTOH I've downloaded lots of dansguardian and squid stuff from his site at other times. In fact, I've just browsed to his site now and it's accessible to me.

                                  Hi there,

                                  As of today - September 23, 2013 - Is this patch still necessary, or has it been merged into the package?

                                      Thanks for this. I tried following the instructions, but it didn't seem to work. The DG process kept crapping out after a few minutes, and browsing was quite slow. Also, DG started blocking content I didn't ask it to.

                                      I removed the package, but it left behind the dansguardian file in the sbin folder. I manually deleted that and have gone back to the package version for now.

                                      Do the permissions need to be adjusted, or should it work without further intervention?

                                        Hi again,

                                        So I'm still having trouble with the process from earlier in this thread that fetches the new executable via fetch.

                                        Via SSH I did :

                                        1. killall dansguardian
                                        2. cd /usr/local/sbin
                                        3. fetch http://e-sac.sitesguro.ws/pfsense/8/dansguardian

                                        I noted Neil's earlier post, so I also:

                                        4. chmod 555 dansguardian
                                        5. cd /usr/local/etc/rc.d
                                        6. ./dansguardian.sh start

                                        I then restarted the process from the GUI (Status>Services>Dansguardian)  Seeing no improvement, I also rebooted the firewall (pfSense) box.

                                        I still see very slow browsing performance, and DG no longer seems to respond to the configuration changes I make in the pfSense GUI.  I've tried clicking through each tab and clicking save thinking that there could be a new configuration version or something, but it still doesn't seem to want to work.

                                        What is stranger, is that DG starts blocking things that couldn't possibly match what I've defined, which is essentially to only block pornography.  It even started blocking sites I used to originally learn about the solution:

                                        For now, I'm back to the "stock" package available through the pfSense GUI.  I'm running:

                                        2.1-RELEASE (i386)
                                        built on Wed Sep 11 18:16:50 EDT 2013
                                        FreeBSD 8.3-RELEASE-p11

                                        Dansguardian Services 2.12.0.3 pkg v.0.1.8
                                        squid3 Network 3.1.20 pkg 2.0.6

                                        If anybody has some other tips to try, please let me know!

                                        Thanks,

                                        Phob

                                          It appears this is still an issue in the latest release. I've tried the new binary fix, and it seems to hose the DG install beyond repair, resulting in having to completely remove and reinstall the DG package.

                                            Works fine if you do the following:
                                              1.) download the fixed dansguardian file
                                              2.) extract the dansguardian executable
                                              3.) stop dansguardian
                                              4.) copy the new executable over the old one
                                              5.) start dansguardian

                                            Make sure you download the proper fixed dg. I saw some posts where someone was installing the wrong binary (32 bit vs. 64 bit).
