Squid+Squidguard Broken after 2.3 update

[stoofz]

I had the same problem of the blacklist not being able to be downloaded (Jumping back to 0% even after smashing the button repeatedly, 5 times in 2 seconds ) I was using Firefox… ended up trying it in Chrome and it worked fine on the first click. Blacklist update complete  ;D

Hello.

https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=109733.msg610994#msg610994

Ok after a couple of different methods to try and make it  work, uploading tar file, ungz , untar, create and delete folder, move thing s around,

Frustrated I went to my original backup before updating to 2.3, restored it, enabled squid.

And heres the magic, it appears I have to spam the download button (5+ clicks under 2 secs) in squidGuard>Blacklist>Download and tada, it started working.

Hope this might help anyone with this specific problem,

Cheers

Its ok for me the "magic click" :)

Thanks vagrant00

Regards.

Worked for me! Thanks!

I have 5 Pfsense Boxes running just basics with Squid and SquidGuard. I had the same issue with upgrading.  Here is what I did to fix it.

1. Uninstall both packages.
2. ssh into console

Delete these folders. ( I had to do rm -rf )

rm  /var/squid
rm  /var/squidGuard
rm  /logs/squid
rm  /logs/squidGuard

3. Reboot
4. Install Squid
5. Install SquidGuard
6. Reboot

Everything worked after that. All my settings were in tact and blacklist download worked. I tried reinstalling and it didn't work. I'm thinking there is a folder permission issue and by removing it all and deleting the folders it allows squid and squidguard to install fresh and set folder permissions correct. I always reboot anything to make sure it loads fresh and I don't get any surprises if later down the road when it doesn't boot up and by then I forgot what I did.

BTW. I use Squid and SquidGuard HEAVY. I have whitelist, blacklist, ACL's everywhere Groups, Common, Target Categories. All my settings fell right back in.

Worked for me. Thanks for this :)

Hmm..nothing works for me running on 2.3.1_p5

Removed the directories after deinstalling squidGuard…rebooted, reinstalled...just stops immediately when enabling:

07.07.2016 18:15:17	squidGuard stopped (1467908117.824)
07.07.2016 18:15:17	db update done
07.07.2016 18:15:17	squidGuard 1.4 started (1467908117.813)

I might try a fresh installation on a spare pcengine gateway…

I've managed to make it work on all my machines by deleting the /var/squid/cache folder contents (rm -R /var/squid/cache/*) and then re-creating the folders with squid -z
Sometimes removing everything in the cache and then reinstalling squid and squidguard then running squid -z works. Be sure to check your system logs for errors.

Thanks this got it up and going for me as well. Interestingly this also seems to have solved the problems I was also having with the webgui crashing with 502/504 errors.

I'm new to pfsense how do I get in to ssh console

[Visseroth]

There is a command option under diagnostics. When you execute a command let it complete before giving it a new command.

[Bentley]

When I try to delete log for squid or squid guard it says access denied what aim I doing wrong or what can I do to delete the logs for squid and squid guard

[Visseroth]

First make sure the package is no longer installed and then…

chmod -R 777 /var/squid
rm -R /var/squid

Yo got'er going thanks a lot got squidguard started
PS any-recommendation on how to block YouTube.com the  easyway or simpleway it's eating up my banwith Iam giving out 30 ip addresses can I slow them down

[Visseroth]

I'd look into using pfblocker for that and/or block it via DNS
