      Something must have messed up that particular file.

      Run this from a shell prompt:

      rm -rf /usr/local/etc/c-icap/
      

      Make extra sure you have that exactly correct, no extra spaces.

          If you received that error, you did not copy the command exactly as written in my last post. Try again.

              jimp clearly told you to run it from a shell prompt, so either local console or ssh and not from the WebUI.

                I did it too but I couldn't screenshot it
                Same error
                I think I need to make factory reset or install fresh copy

                  There could be a problem with the disk or filesystem. It might be stuck in read-only mode. You might need to reboot it and force a disk check.

                  From ssh or the console, choose the reboot option and then the option on the next screen to force a disk check. That may hopefully take care of it.

                    when updating to 2.4.4 stable version
                    i have encountered this bug
                    c-icap was not working for some time and i had to modify it manually
                    i followed the instructions in this post
                    https://forum.netgate.com/topic/133774/2-4-x-squid-clamav-fix-for-c-icap-0-5-x-not-starting
                    but i had to use this command
                    chflags schg /usr/local/etc/c-icap/c-icap.conf
                    to keep file intact after i have modified it
                    there is a probability that is command might be what is causing the problem

                      Yes, because that command told it not to let anything change that file. That's why you shouldn't apply hackish fixes to things.

                      You can probably work around it by doing chflags noschg on the file to negate what was done to it before.

                        you are right
                        you command ( chflags noschg ) fixed it
                        now i could run ( rm -rf /usr/local/etc/c-icap/ )
                        thanks alot for your support
