Squid+Squidguard Broken after 2.3 update

[davorin]

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.

@Rickinfl:

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

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

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

It worked! :D
You saved me a lot of time.
Thank you!

Cheers
