Problem with starting the service squidguard 1.16.18_1 + squid 0.4.44_8 + Netgate XG-7100 vers 2.4.4-RELEASE (amd64)

AMBEU Serge

Bonjour,

Nous n'arrivons pas à démarrer les 2 services squid et squidguard.
Pouvez-vous nous apporter de l'aide?

Cordialement

Hello all,

We can not start the squid and squidguard services. They are constantly stopped.
Can you help us?

Best regards

Anything in the System log? Anything in squid's logs? Squidguard is called by squid, so if squid isn't running then squidguard will not be running. Note that squidguard isn't a proper service; it's a helper application called by squid for every URL being requested.

Hi @KOM

Unfortunately the log and cache directories do not have any data (/var/squid/cache & /var/squid/logs)
Maybe because the service did not start? So they did not generate any files.

If squid starts and then dies due to some reason, it should be logged in Status - System Logs. What do you get if you shell in and run:

squid -k parse

or

squid -k reconfigure
