I can see that I have the following link: ln -s /var/log/squid /var/squid/logs/

rocaembole

In my case /var/log/squid doesn't exists :)

mir

Does this folder have any contents? /var/squid/logs/
That folder did not exists on my pfsense either but the reason was that squid seems to log into /var/log/squid

Hi friends,

rocaembole

try to remove semicolon after 10.0.0.6, I have not and it works, then it say "separated" by semi-colons.
Just to try :)

rocaembole

I see that too and tried without semicolon but neither works

@rocaembole:

I'm trying by proxy and by LAN (My squid's in non transparent mode) and can't access…

I use transparent mode. I wonder if that's part of your problem?

Steve

rocaembole

Thanks! that was my problem. Now i can access. thanks!

I'm on pfSense 2.2.1 and I just installed squid3 and set up a simple transparent proxy. No clamav, no squidguard. I was trying to follow the OP's tuturial to add access to the cachemgr tab:

cd /usr/local/www
ln -s /usr/local/libexec/squid/cachemgr.cgi
cd /usr/local/etc/squid
cp cachemgr.conf.default cachemgr.conf

The problem is the paths are all different.
/usr/local/libexec/squid and /usr/local/etc/squid do not exist.

Any ideas?

Thank you.

edit: I figured it out (I'm a BSD noob…sorry)

Here are the paths.

/usr/pbi/squid-i386/local/etc/squid

/usr/pbi/squid-i386/local/libexec/squid

I'm not sure if the paths changed due to newer pfSense version, or the fact I'm using squid3 vs. squid, but it did work for me!
