Dansguardian 2.12.0.3_2 does not work

percyiii

How do I get to the older package..
Upgraded now Dans does not work..

THX

The new package of dansguardian 2.12.0.3_2 uploaded on 9th april 2014 does not work properly
The previous package 2.12.0.3_1 of feb 2014 patched by marcello worked properly
Request to restore the link for dansguardian to 2.12.0.3_1 for proper functionality
2.12.0.3_2 gives contentscanner files missing and package cannot be restarted by starting/stopping/restarting dansguargian.sh
Pl help

Thanks

Went to /tmp and deleted and .dguardianipc and .dgaurdianurlipc
Rebooted and it works again…..

That fix didit work for me. Here is what I see in the log:

Yes it worked on one install nut not the other two..
Not sure why it worked on the one yet..

asterix

This why I keep saying not to publish new versions without doing a fulll UAT. Just updating the version to fix one thing breaks 2 other things. Just one developer working on a package and not having enough resources or time to devote to it… is exactly why this happened.

rjcrowder

Agree with what you are saying about testing. Marcello has done a great job in maintaining this package over time, so I'm certainly not denigrating any of his work. There's just so many use cases, install variations, etc. that it is very difficult for one person to test adequately.

The but the biggest issue at the moment is that it is pretty badly broken, Marcello is obviously too busy to address it (haven't gotten any responses on these threads), and I haven't found any easy way to roll back to the previous version. This makes it impossible to do any new installs that need dansguardian.

pfsense seriously needs a package version rollback feature. If you like the new version to your expectations then you can delete the older version files OR if somthing breaks like the case we have here, it would help rollback to the earlier version with simple clicks and delete the corrupt version out of the system.

When you are about to upgrade, it lets you do a full backup. But it seems that this is not a true image, i rolled back and dansguardian is broken no matter the version (2.1 or 2.1.2). The backup is taking almost 2 gigs of space, I don't understand why it doesn't contain previous package states.

Unfortunately it's still unusable for me. At least the service now runs, but neither of the content scanners are working. My internet just breaks if I route my traffic through DG proxy.

DG reports the status of the content scanners as (off). So I ran clamd in shell and got ERROR: LOCAL: Socket file /var/run/clamav/clamd.sock is in use by another process.

I then removed /var/run/clamav/clamd.sock and ran clamd again with no errors. DG still shows content scanner (off) and No traffic is routed to final destination.

rjcrowder

OK… in my case at least (on a fresh install as described in the other thread) clam wasn't starting... here's what I did to fix it...


cd /usr/local/bin
ln -s /usr/pbi/dansguardian-amd64/bin/freshclam freshclam
cd /usr/local/etc/                                                          
ln -s /usr/pbi/dansguardian-amd64/etc/freshclam.conf freshclam.conf
cd /usr/local/sbin
ln -s /usr/pbi/dansguardian-amd64/sbin/clamd clamd

What other packages do you have installed?

rjcrowder

cron, squid3 and lightsquid…

Install order was
cron
dansguardian
squid3
lightsquid

Then installed the pbi of the older version of the dansguardian package. After that, downloaded the blacklists and created the symbolic links to fix clam.

Files already exist, and still no clamd on DG.

Do "ps -ax | grep clam" and see if clam is actually running…
Do "ps -ax | grep dans" to see if dans is actually running

Also, what do you mean by "DG still shows content scanner (off)"? As far as I know, the way to turn clam on is by selecting it in the list (either clam or icapscan) on the general setup tab. I didn't think there was anywhere that indicated if it was running or not. What are you looking at?

If clam is selected, but not running when you try to browse to a page that should be virus scanned you will get an error indicating that dans could not scan the page. If you are not getting that error, and both dans and squid are running, then something else is likely setup wrong...

OK… so both clam and dans appear to be running. Is squid running? Is DG configured and listening on a port and talking to squid on the port that squid is listening on? What happens when you set dansguardian as your proxy and try to browse a page? What if you set squid as the proxy and try to browse?

Also - what do you mean when you say that the content scanner is "off".

mschiek01

Does your configuration page look like this??

Ok, i reinstalled the package and followed the steps in your other thread (linked earlier). Changed Dan to listen on LAN, proxy on loopback. It could have been my settings, since I frantically messed with various settings to get DG working. Now everything works great!!

I was under the impression that under General->Content Scanner->Clamdscan (on) would show once enabled. Now i see that it shows the default value even when calmav is running.

I greatly appreciate your efforts. Thanks
