      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 !!

            Valeuz Marcello

                I tried a traceroute on http://e-sac.sitesguro.ws and got the following:

                Is this patch accessible from Australia?

                  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:

                          http://old.theninjageek.co.za/2013/07/02/pfsense-squid3-and-dansguardian-a-better-alternative-to-squidguard/

                          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).

                                Indeed that was what I did. It then complained that it couldn't find dansguardian.pbiopt, and couldn't load any of the filter files. I'm guessing the patched executable wants the /usr/local/blahblahblah instead of /usr/pbi/blahblahblah directory.

                                Edit: To be more precise, here is my log when I start DG after using the patched amd64 binary:

                                I will be testing this on a different VM to see if this is amd64-specific, but it does not happen on a test 386 box.

                                Edit2: not sure what the deal is on my production system, but it worked fine on my new amd64 install.
                                I ended up fixing it with this command-set:

                                
                                rm -rf /usr/local/etc/dansguardian
                                ln -s /usr/pbi/dansguardian/etc/dansguardian /usr/local/etc/dansguardian
                                killall dansguardian
                                cd /usr/local/sbin
                                fetch http://e-sac.siteseguro.ws/pfsense/8/amd64/dansguardian
                                /usr/local/etc/rc.d/dansguardian.sh start
                                
                                

                                Now to test whether uploads are fixed or not!

                                Edit3: Test

                                Edit4: Hooray, it's fixed! Many thanks for the modified binary.

                                  Yea… I was just in the process of posting back about the sym links. Glad you got it working!

                                    I had to make a slight adjustment to what timthetortoise did for x64 on 2.1:

                                    rm -rf /usr/local/etc/dansguardian
                                    ln -s /usr/pbi/dansguardian-amd64/etc/dansguardian /usr/local/etc/dansguardian
                                    killall dansguardian
                                    cd /usr/local/sbin
                                    fetch http://e-sac.siteseguro.ws/pfsense/8/amd64/dansguardian
                                    chmod +x /usr/local/sbin/dansguardian
                                    /usr/local/etc/rc.d/dansguardian.sh start
                                    

                                    and now I am uploading this post via dansguardian.  ;D

                                        It will need to push a fix to freebsd ports before a new compile run.

                                        To have more then 1024 clients it also needs some changes on freebsd too.

                                        I'll try again to build a new pbi and put on my repo.

                                          As an addition to previous instructions, if you are doing automatic blacklist updates you will also want to overwrite /usr/pbi/dansguardian-xxx/sbin/dansguardian with this one, as that's what is used in the blacklist update script.

                                            OK… here's how my insall looks...

                                            dansguardian executable is /usr/pbi/dansguardian-amd64/sbin/dansguardian

                                            There is a "hard link"
                                                /usr/pbi/dansguardian-amd64/.sbin/dansguardian --> /usr/pbi/dansguardian-amd64/sbin
                                            There is a symbolic link
                                                /usr/local/sbin/dansguardian --> /usr/pbi/dansguardian-amd64/.sbin/dansguardian

                                            So... if I'm understanding this correctly, you really only need to replace one file...
                                            /usr/pbi/dansguardian-amd64/sbin/dansguardian
