      Okay I've uninstalled both, rebooted the firewall, check the logs to make sure everything was OK (and it was, looking at the last 500 lines of logs after the boot didn't show any errors) then I installed squid3, and immediately the logs displayed these

      So maybe SG is sick, but looking at that, I'd say squid3 is dead..  This may be worthwhile to open a bug report?

        (squid-1): Cannot open '/var/squid/logs/access.log' for writing.

        Lots of errors, including this.  What are you running pfSense on?  A PC or an appliance like an ALIX?  What is your disk storage device, and how much free space do you have on it?

          Yeah lots of errors..

          I have been running pfsense in a KVM machine under Proxmox for about 2 years now, these errors started almost right after I upgraded to squid3..

            ~~Managed to get further… I changed the ownership of /var/squid to user "proxy" as the error message was suggesting, and squid3 now starts but there are still errors in the logs:

            Jul 14 18:40:07 php-fpm[240]: /rc.start_packages: Starting Squid

            Not cool… not at all... I shouldnt have to manually alter permissions for packages to work!!! if Squid3 is NOT stable, please mark it so!

            Im looking into it further....~~

            EDIT:  Tried to uninstall it completely, clean /tmp then reboot the firewall and reattempt to reinstall it.  The folder /var/squid was still owned by "proxy" but for some obscure reasons, squid couldn't write to /var/squid/logs/access.log (file was non existent).  Creating it with "touch" doesnt help like the previous attempt..

            I suppose its time to reinstall pfsense fresh.  I assume the upgrades killed it somehow.  >:(

              This is insane..

              I have reinstalled pfsense FRESH (destroyed the actual VM and recreated a new one to eliminate potential FS errors, etc) and upon rebooting with the new setup and uploading my config, I tried installing squid3 but got the same exact errors!

              I have opened a bug report on pfsense bugzilla:  https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/4857

              Could a setting or a package cause this??  If there's no bugs or anything wrong with this package, then what could have caused this to reoccur on a brand new install?  Even the actual ISO image was freshly downloaded from pfsense's server.

                When you say uploading my config, do you mean restoring from config.xml backup, or do you mean manually setting everything?  If config.xml, try reinstalling and NOT restoring your config.  Manually configure squid3 and see if the problem persists.

                  Hello KOM, sorry for the delay..

                  Yes when I meant "restore my config" I meant restore from config.xml.  That didnt work well, so I ended up exporting my settings in a plantext file and reinstalled pfsense (latest release) fresh from scratch, then spent 2 hours to reconfigure everything by hand…......

                  All worked well for about 2 days.  Squid & SG both installed and started without problems.  They also ran fine.  On the 23rd of July (a fre days ago), stuff stopped being populated in /var/squid/logs/access.log and squidguard stopped working.  At least the last entries in its logs are also from the 23rd...

                  So obviously something went wrong that day.

                  I believe SG is working (until proven otherwise) but squid is really not.

                  Not sure what to do...

                    squidguard is a helper app that gets called on-demand by squid for every URL that gets requested.  If squid isn't working, squidguard won't work either.  Anything in either your System log or /var/squid/log/cache.log?  Anything in squidguard log?  You could also try stopping squid and then deleting his cache structure.  Then run squid -Z to recreate it.

                        Start with this:

                        The command '/sbin/pfctl -nf /tmp/rules.test.packages' returned exit code '1', the output was '/tmp/rules.test.packages:45: syntax error'

                        What's in /tmp/rules.test.packages on line 45?
                        And

                        Cannot open '/var/squid/logs/access.log' for writing. The parent directory must be writeable by the user 'proxy', which is the cache_effective_user set in squid.conf.

                        Can you check the perms on /var/squid/logs and /var/squid/logs/access.log?  Does access.log have any contents?

                          Hello KOM

                          Here's the info you asked!

                          Line 45 of  /tmp/rules.test.packages  does not exist (there are actually 44 lines in that file, 44 being the end of file EOF i.e. an empty line)

                          
                          $ cat  /tmp/rules.test.packages
                          #System aliases

                            I'm wondering if that syntax error in your ruleset is crashing squid, and I wonder if it's being caused by Snort.  What other packages do you have installed?

                              I didnt think of snort causing issues…  Before I uninstall snort and try squid on its own, let me answer the question about what packages are installed on my router:

                              File Manager
                              ntop
                              pfBlockerNG
                              snort
                              squid3
                              vnstat2

                              Thats all!

                                Both pfBlockerNG and Snort inject rules into the ruleset.  You might try disabling them, if possible, and see if that has any effect.
