      Did anybody get the Squid package working on 1.2.1-RC4? On my server, squid always crashes, saying something about all instances of dnsserver having exited (don't remember the exact error). As a result, the proxy does not work.

      I was running 1.2-RELEASE on my server (HP NetServer LH3000) before and upgraded straight to 1.2.1-RC4.

      Packages: squid, squidGuard

          Already tried reinstalling squid several times. My next step would be to try squid3 - does squidguard work with squid3?

            I am currently running it on rc4 without any problem. No crashes, exept one when swap.state suddenly took up 100% of the disc.

                Very odd - squid3 is also crashing on me with the exact same errors:

                  I just reinstalled pfSense 1.2.1-RC4 (I had to first install 1.2-RELEASE because my server won't boot the pfSense 1.2.1-RC4 CD).
                  Same problem, dnsserver still dies rapidly, both on squid and squid3.

                  Anyway, why is the squid package compiled with the –disable-internal-dns option? The squid developers no longer recommend it (neither on 2.6 nor on 3.0) and I don't see a real reason for it.

                    Maybe you use TinyDNS package ?

                      No, I don't. I currently have a clean install of 1.2.1-RC4 with the squid package installed, nothing else.
                      And I highly doubt installing tinydns would solve any problem. squid's dnsserver performs DNS lookups for Squid.

                            Hm, maybe permissions … no more ideas  :-
                            Try search google or yahoo for this problem.

                              Google has exactly five results, none of them relevant to this issue. Seems like I'm the only person having it?

                                  The permissions on dnsserver are correct:

                                  dnsserver also works correctly:

                                    I just downloaded the VMWare image of 1.2.1-RC4 and squid works like a charm.
                                    My guess is that during the upgrade from 1.2-RELEASE to 1.2.1-RC4, something happens that prevents squid from running correctly.

                                    Unfortunately, I cannot install 1.2.1-RC4 directly on my HP NetServer LH3000 because for some reason, it won't boot from that CD. However, I will try installing it in VMWare and then cloning it to the server's hard drive.

                                      I just did a clean install of 1.2.2 (via PXE boot) into VMWare and I'm getting the exact same "The dnsserver helpers are crashing too rapidly, need help!" error after installing squid 2.6.

                                        I'm having issues here too.  I just got around to tinkering with 1.2.2 tonight.  I too had issues getting things going but I restored a config and let the packages install upon reboot.  That was a mess, so I uninstalled all, then tried squid3.  It crashed, but once I went through the config pages and hit save I was able to get it up and running.

                                        I was not, however, able to get the transparent proxy to work.  If I setup my browser manually, I was subjected to all the rules as expected.  When I try via transparent, nothing goes through the proxy, and nothing gets logged.

                                        Squid 2.6.21_07 seems to be working as expected.

                                          Interesting.. I'm using 2.0 alpha and am having the same issue.  Of course after running fine for a few days, I head out of town on business and the Mrs. calls saying the net down, after troubleshooting, I'm getting the same error.  Anyone have a clue why?

                                            I solved this crash when i recreated the cache

                                            drop to pfsense shell

                                            cd /var/squid/cache
                                            rm -Rf *
                                            /usr/local/sbin/squid -z
                                            wait the prompt return

                                            goto the web GUI and hit save button on proxy

                                              Seems like the problem is gone in pfSense 1.2.2 and/or squid 2.6.21_07.

                                              I just installed pfSense 1.2.2 from CD onto a HP xw6000 and it worked like a charm.
                                              I suspect the problem I had before may not even have been related to pfSense or the squid package, but to some permissions issue due to the way I installed pfSense via PXE/NFS.

                                              Software: pfSense 1.2.2-RELEASE
                                              Hardware: HP Workstation xw6000 (2x Xeon 2,8 GHz, 2GB RAM, 36 GB SCSI HDD)
                                              NICs: LAN: bge0, WAN: xl0, OPT1(WLAN): sis0
                                              Packages: squid, squidGuard

                                                I installed squid+squidguard in pfsense 1.2.2 just to get rid of file extensions. The main purpose is to block the downloads like .exe .avi .. So its working. But how to set squid+squidguard not to log anything? I dont want them to be saved in the Hardisk… I dont have enough space.. I want it just blocking .exe and avi ... thanks

                                                  Uncheck the box called 'Enabled Logging' in the Services/Proxy Server GUI.

                                                        1.2.2 squid looks good. Except squid3 it wont work on 1.2.2.. Not sure to others..
