PfSense squidGuard Package Installation Issues

[rfiorenzano]

New user and first post - so please forgive any ignorance as I am new.

I started to build white list domains for squidGuard and the system began to notify of crashes during the modifications. I thought I created the problem and uninstalled the squidGuard package, removed trace directories of squidGuard logs and configuration files then proceeded with the reinstall.

The errors continue now during the installation and squidGuard is no longer listed within the toolbar under services even though pfSense indicates the package installed successfully.

Below is information about the system and error.

# uname -a

I've highlighted the error message due to the fact that during the modification of the white list, I also received this error message - which is the same now while trying to reinstall the squidGuard package. I've attached my file for xmlparse.inc in the event that there is some form of corruption or typo others can note.

All my investigation to find what this error is all about has me upset as now I cannot get squidGuard accessibility from the GUI as before. If I have to reinstall to fix the issue, so be it - but I would really like to learn what I may have done wrong or at least notify the community of a bug.

Thank you for the reply and detailed direction on what to review for the future! Unfortunately, I do not have the ability to share whether or not these directions would have solved the problem because I rebuilt the router after being unable to find an answer online.

Since I had a VERY brand new installation, I didn't lose much except for time in the rebuild. Even though I had to re-install the OS and get everything re-installed and configured, I'm happy for the experience and thus far the community cooperation and support.

Thanks again - and I'll keep this saved in the event this happens again as I continue to refine my pfSense configuration.

Additionally, for those that are curious - these are the default settings I found in the configuration file. Maybe I would need to bump up the amount to "200M" if this error comes up again?
