2.3 - Squid reinstallation fails

jimp

Wipe out that dir and then try again

rm -rf /usr/local/etc/squid/

Same situation here, I've deleted the directory but reinstallation fails with:

You deleted all of /usr/local/etc/squid/? Or just the one mentioned in the error? Make sure /usr/local/etc/squid does not exist at all (even if it appears to be empty, rm -rf it)

I have the same issue when I try to reinstall squid after upgrading to 2.3.
It's due to some glitch of installing bash , that trying to recover error translate files by "rename"

A quick fix will be ,running this command in shell
#mv /usr/local/etc/squid/errors /home/

then try to reninstall again.

I've deleted the directory with rm -rf, removed also all symlinks to squid, but still get the problem that says:

 pkg: cannot rename //usr/local/etc/squid/errors/zh-cn.YTBGi97hRFBr to //usr/local/etc/squid/errors/zh-cn: Is a directory

bur is the "//" correct at the start of the path?

I just removed /usr/local/etc/squid/errors/ and I did can install it

whoknowz

I removed the entire /usr/local/etc/squid directory and still the old config keeps coming back after a uninstall/install (not reinstall).
Baffling…I made sure I unticked the option for keeping config during reinstall etc..
Squid+SquidGuard was working fine before 2.3 upgrade and now even after a good install (same config restored out of thin air by the system) nothing get blocked.
Any other file I should remove to get rid of the config or do I have to reboot?

I just accepted that there will be no vnstat type monitoring and decided to try out 2.3. Same issue as everyone else with squid.
Ended up restoring from the backup vm files, and back up with 2.2.6. until I found this thread.
I'll try 2.3 again when I see the issues are fixed.

is the deleting the folder solving everyone's problem???

tester_02

anyone found a good solution yet?

this

rm -rf /usr/local/etc/squid/

ipfftw

rm -rf /usr/local/etc/squid/

worked for me to clear this error and squid now has a checkmark beside it.

sigh scratch that, squid does not start still. I get "UFSSwapDir::openLog: Failed to open swap log" which leads me to here

https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=109128.0

which leads me to here:

https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=105399.0

down the rabbit hole i go!

looks like the 2.3 update isn't quite ready for production yet!

EDIT2:

I think i got squid running now with these commands from the console:

cd /var/squid

chown -R squid cache/

as per https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=110119.msg613297#msg613297

some other services dont start, clamav, pfblocker, but im going to try and reinstall them.

Edit 3:
ok clamd, c-icap are no longer in available packages or installed packages, yet under service status they do still exist. have to come back to this later i think.

@powerrc
This worked for me.
Thank you very much.
