ICAP problem with squid package after 2.3 update

javcasta

Hello.

Scenario: pfSense 2.3_1 amd64, squid 0.4.16_2, squidGuard 1.14_3

The same problem I had, the service c-icap and clamd (ClamAV Squid) going down and squid was a mistake and did not allow connect to pages

To fix this, I installed the package: Service Watchdog, and will configured to monitor clamd and c-icap . And now work fine to me.

Thanks for the suggestion, but both services are always running according to pfsense interface on mine. I'll give it a try anyway, just in case the status doesn't get reported properly.

I'm using pfsense 2.3-RELEASE (amd64) and the squid package version is 0.4.16_2 and I don't have squidguard installed.

Edit: Same problem with service watchdog configured to watch clamd and C-ICAP

Hello.

There is a new Upgrade: pfSense 2.3.1

https://blog.pfsense.org/?p=2050

Maybe this is the solution.

No such luck sadly.

Hello.

I try a upgrade to 2.3.1 and if the problem persists, maybe with reinstall of package squid fixed it.

Reinstalling the squid package after the upgrade also didn't help, I still get the same error page.

Hello.

You would try this:

(Backup/copy squid.conf, and squidGuard config, in another files)

Remove squid (and squidGuard) config:

Diagnostics > Command Prompt > Execute PHP Commands

foreach (array_keys($config['installedpackages']) as $sec) {
	if (strpos($sec, "squid") !== false)
		unset($config['installedpackages'][$sec]);
}
write_config("Removed all squid-related settings");

Reinstall squid package, and config again, …

Turns out it doesn't quite work after all, but I can at least easily make the reverse proxy work alone which was the main thing I needed.

I did some more testing today and noticed that the antivirus option was disabled in squid and when I activate it, I get the ICAP error again.
If I disable the antivirus again, then the reverse proxy works properly.
