      I'm starting to test e2guardian but it won't start.

      
      /root: /usr/local/etc/rc.d/e2guardian.sh start
      kern.ipc.somaxconn: 16384 -> 16384
      kern.maxfiles: 131072 -> 131072

      kern.threads.max_threads_per_proc: 4096 -> 4096
      Starting e2guardian.
      In mapauthtoports mode you need to setup one port per auth plugin
      Error parsing the e2guardian.conf file or other e2guardian configuration files
      /usr/local/etc/rc.d/e2guardian.sh: WARNING: failed to start e2guardian
      
      

      Can those files be regenerated?  I've pointed to shallalist but that's about it.  The Default values in bold, those are the values used if the boxes are left blank?  They don't need to be filled in do they?

      EDIT:
      I copied the e2guardian.conf.sample and overwrote /usr/local/etc/e2guardian/e2guardian.conf and I'm getting further.  Now it tells me:

        What options did you selected to enable multiport?

          What page has that option?  I don't think I intentionally selected anything, just clicked through.

            I have it working on my setup, including ssl interception. Try to selext just one interface. I'll try another clean setup and see how how to reproduce this.

              I have LAN and loopback selected since the default is Lan/loopback.  It's working with the sample config in place.

              I ran a diff on the config file and the sample file and there is quite a bit of difference since the rows don't line up.  I cleared up the commented lines and here is what the config options are in the broken file:

                Looks like it was because I had both LAN and loopback selected.  You may want to remove the verbage of "Default: LAN/loopback".  For the other fields it states what is used when nothing is entered.  In this field you still need to select the Interface.

                  I concur. You have to select only one interface (LAN) to get it to work. When loopback is also selected, it wont start. I haven't had a chance to test the different options other then installing and enabling it using default options.

                  Need to figure out an easy/clean way to convert my old Dansguardian config to E2guardian (within the config.xml)

                    Easy as renaming it on xml(except for some config change from dansguardian to e2guardian) but I can help with a php script if you want.

                      FYI:

                      When I go to ACLs -> Antivirus, the lower menu bar disappears. 
                      When I go to ACLs -> Search Engine, Both menu bars disappear.

                          How do we download the blacklists for them to work?  On the Blacklist Tab I'm using http://www.shallalist.de/Downloads/shallalist.tar.gz as the Blacklist URL but when I go into the Default Site List and remove the "#" from in front of items on the list, e2guardian won't start.

                          I'm changing:
                          #.Include
                          to
                          .Include

                          and the error when starting is:

                          I'm guessing it's because the blacklist isn't really downloaded and applied.  I've tried changing the Update Frequency on the Blacklist Tab to Download and Update Now and I get an alert that says "E2guardian - Blacklist update process started" but I don't know how to see if it is doing anything.  After 20 minutes it still doesn't start if I uncomment the lines.

                            Select the option Download and update now, save, then back it to never or the update frequency You selected before.

                            I'll change it to a Download and update button soon to keep it easy to use.

                            Once it's downloaded and updated, I'll receive an system alert on gui.

                            Thanks for the feedback

                                How do we download the blacklists for them to work?

                                Select the option Download and update now, save, then back it to never or the update frequency You selected before.

                                I'll change it to a Download and update button soon to keep it easy to use.

                                Once it's downloaded and updated, I'll receive an system alert on gui.

                                Thanks for the feedback

                                Hmmm.  That's what I did.  I get the alert of "E2guardian - Blacklist update process started" but never one that it completes.  How can I see what's going on?

                                  I just ran the Download and Update Now and shortly thereafter got 2 instances less than a minute apart of "E2guardianBlacklist applied, check site and URL access lists for categories", but it still gives me the same error.  I checked the folder structure and there is no /usr/local/etc/e2guardian/lists/blacklists/adult folder.  Do we need to manually edit the config file to match the directory structure?

                                  EDIT:
                                  The List in Config doesn't match the structure in /usr/local/etc/e2guardian/lists/blacklists/ at all.  Is that normal?

                                  EDIT2:
                                  Or I could just select from the Include box instead, like a normal person…

                                      Need to figure out an easy/clean way to convert my old Dansguardian config to E2guardian (within the config.xml)

                                      Easy as renaming it on xml(except for some config change from dansguardian to e2guardian) but I can help with a php script if you want.

                                      I ran into some errors over the weekend when I tried it. I need to take another look and try again. I did rename everything from that had danguardian using find/replace. This time, I'll just focus on the ACL, Groups, IPs sections of the XML.

                                      Thank you for the offer, I think Im good for now unless there is a need for it by the community

                                        So, it appears to be working if I set a computer to proxy at port 8080 but not when passed to Squid transparently.  From your previous response I see the IP and port should be defined on the Daemon tab but that appears to already be set properly by default and the config file shows proxyip=127.0.0.1 and proxyport=3128.  On the General tab I've tried several options and combinations for Auth Plugins but it doesn't seem to be filtering through Squid.

                                        Squid is running on port 3128 with all boxes in advanced being empty.  Would it matter that I still have Squidguard installed but disabled?

                                            Sure. I'll test all install process(including blacklist) on a 2.3.3_p1 version too.
