      Same problem here. Wasn't working before I updated to 2.2.1, still not working now.
      squid 2.7.9 pkg 4.3.6
      squidguard 1.4_7 pkg 1.9.12

      Have tried reinstalling both. same result. I have the following errors in log files.

      php-fpm[246]: /rc.start_packages: The command '/usr/pbi/squid-i386/sbin/squid -D' returned exit code '1', the output was 'FATAL: Bungled squid.conf line 75: url_rewrite_program /usr/pbi/squidguard-i386/bin/squidGuard -c /usr/pbi/squidguard-i386/etc/squidGuard/squidGuard.conf Squid Cache (Version 2.7.STABLE9): Terminated abnormally.

      squid[68340]: Bungled squid.conf line 75: url_rewrite_program /usr/pbi/squidguard-i386/bin/squidGuard -c /usr/pbi/squidguard-i386/etc/squidGuard/squidGuard.conf

      EDIT: forgot to mention.. I inherited this setup and my pfsense foo isn't overly strong.
      I did find the following in the custom options field in the GUI.
      seems the error is referencing that but not sure what about it is the problem.

      redirect_children 3;redirect_program /usr/pbi/squidguard-i386/bin/squidGuard -c /usr/pbi/squidguard-i386/etc/squidGuard/squidGuard.conf;redirector_bypass off;url_rewrite_program /usr/pbi/squidguard-i386/bin/squidGuard -c /usr/pbi/squidguard-i386/etc/squidGuard/squidGuard.conf;url_rewrite_bypass off;url_rewrite_children 16 startup=8 idle=4 concurrency=0

        Don't waste your time on Squid2.  Use Squid3.

        I've never seen a 'bungled' conf error before.

          This is happening because squidguard on pfsense is adding redirect_program and  url_rewrite_program params. The second one is fine for squid3 but it's not working with squid2.
          Deleting url_rewrite directives from proxy Custom Options solves the problem untill next reboot. You can edit squidguard_configurator.inc on /usr/local/pkg to avoid this.

                Good Evening,

                I experienced this same issue & researched it for a couple of months.  I am currently running the current Squid3 with SquidGuard.  Each time pfSense reboots, you must go into the Proxy Filter & re-download the blacklist.  After the blacklist downloads, both Squid3 & SquidGuard will automatically come back to life.  I have no idea why this is occurring or why this works, but it seems to do the trick.

                Best-

                Darren

                      Yep, I had the same problem.  You just need to create at least one entry under the Target Categories tab and then both services will start.
