Can't configure squid from WebGUI
-
Hello everyone,
Couldn't find any useful hints, so I'm posting here. Due to several issues, I had to reinstall Squid on my pfSense. And by reinstall, I mean uninstall - install again.
Since I did this, it has been completely impossible to change the config of Squid from the webGUI. When I change a parameter and click "save", the page keeps "loading", with no effect. I tried a top, apparently there is a php process going crazy for 5 to 10 minutes as soon as I click save, then the page times out, and my changes are not saved.
Moreover, webgui pages for squid take several seconds to load …Just so you know, I am running my pfSense as a virtual machine on a VMware ESXi server, and I seem to have some issues with interrupts. But it used to work, so I don't know why it wouldn't work now :/
Has anyone ever experienced this kind of issue ? I would like to have it back as soon as possible, because I critically need throttle on my network, and to be honest, I've been trying to fix this issue for several hours because I would hate to have to reinstall a whole pfSense because of squid :(
Cheers,

Do you have a backup from back when things were working? In some cases, a full reinstall/restore is the quickest solution.
If not, did you manually uninstall the package from the shell or did you use the GUI? If you used only the GUI, I would uninstall the package, reboot. Reinstall the package, reboot. Try everything again. Also, I assume you are talking about squid 2.7 and not 3.0?

Hi,
Thanks for your answer, and you got it right, I used squid 2.7. I tried a full reinstall, but it didn't unclog the server … Neither did the GUI reinstall, and the reboots.
After struggling a few additionnal hours, I just gave up, a reinstalled the whole VM, and luckily the problem was solved.Note that on my clean reinstall, I chose not to install Lightsquid, as I thought it might be the problem - although it had worked fine before ...
Anyway, thanks for the answer,

Hi Kehrlann, I have the same issue with pfsense 1.2.3 and Squid 2.9 running on dedicated and powerfull hardware.
I can´t modify any parameter of squid webGUI config page.
I tried to reinstall the squid package with unuseful result.I will keep trying…
