Squidguard

andrew0401

Very interesting - due to a hardware fail at a remote site I had to dtop/reconfigure and restart an IPSEC VPN - then continued the battle with Squidguard. The button now works as advertsised and it updates correctly!

Still no entries in any log file concerning squidguard, but in the "Portal Auth" tab the following entries have appeared

Feb 2 10:30:38 squid[35770]: Squid Parent: child process 57923 started
Feb 2 10:30:35 squid[35770]: Squid Parent: child process 36437 exited due to signal 6
Feb 2 10:30:35 squid[36437]: The url_rewriter helpers are crashing too rapidly, need help!
Feb 2 10:30:29 squid[35770]: Squid Parent: child process 36437 started

But we are not using the Portal and have never had any entries in this tab before to-day.

Hi,

I have exactly the same problem, except I don't use any IPSEC VPN.
I removed and reinstalled squidguard, but I still can't update the blacklist and I have the same issue in "Portal Auth" log.

What to do ?

Need reinstall squid ?

OyyoDams

I just reinstalled squid and still have the same issue :(

Try uninstal squid/squidGuard from GUI.
Then from console deinstall any from this (if exists) - 'pkg_delete -r pkgname'


squid-2.7.9         HTTP Caching Proxy
squidGuard-1.4_2    A fast redirector for squid
squid_radius_auth-1.10 RADIUS authenticator for squid proxy 2.5 and later

Then install squid/squidGuard new from GUI

jimp

It would be a good idea to remove all packages, then check the pkg_info as dvserg suggests, and pkg_delete -f each of the remaining items.

When that is done, you can reinstall your packages to make sure everything you have is current.

OyyoDams

I removed all packages as suggested, renstalled squid and squiguard, and I still can't update the list

OyyoDams

Just for information I just rebooted pfsense and the problem is still here

May be irrelevant - but including the reboot for the IPSEC VPN (wanted to make sure all caches were clear) - it started working for after the third reboot.

I might have been a bit quick saying it was working. It certainly appears to be working but a look at the system log shows

Feb 2 14:48:11 php: : The command 'cp -f -p /usr/local/etc/squidGuard/blacklist.files /usr/local/etc/squidGuard' returned exit code '1', the output was 'cp: /usr/local/etc/squidGuard/blacklist.files and /usr/local/etc/squidGuard/blacklist.files are identical (not copied).'
Feb 2 14:46:35 php: : The command 'rm -R . /tmp/squidGuard/arcdb' returned exit code '1', the output was 'rm: "." and ".." may not be removed'
Feb 2 14:46:31 php: : The command 'rm -R . /tmp/squidGuard/unpack' returned exit code '1', the output was 'rm: "." and ".." may not be removed'

More checking!

It is a bug. Thanks.

OyyoDams

Just to confirm, I did the following:

removed all packages with GUI
removed all packages with pkg_delete
upgraded to latest snapshot
installed squid and then squidguard

Result: the "Download" button makes nothing. No error in "Portal Auth"

Tikimotel

I've recently updated the same package on pfsense 1.2.3.
The "download" button has moved to a new tab called "Blacklist" next to the "log" tab.
You can see a progress bar during update of the blacklist.
Maybe that the 2.0 version also moved there?

OyyoDams

Yes but in version 2.0 the progress bar stays at 0%

dvserg

@OyyoDams:

What browser you use? I test this version on IE(8)/FF/Chrome

OyyoDams

Firefox and IE

But the problem is not on the progress bar itself, i.e. the progress bar for packages installation works sucessfully.

When I click on "Download" button, nothing happens at all.

OyyoDams

Update: tried again, I don't know why, this time it worked, I got that message:

Begin blacklist update
Start download.
Download archive http://urlblacklist.com/cgi-bin/commercialdownload.pl?type=download
Download complete
Unpack archive
Scan blacklist categories.
Start rebuild DB.
Copy DB to workdir.
Reconfigure Squid proxy.
Blacklist update complete.

But the progress bar has never moved from 0%, and now the message above is not cleared.

I'm working on it as time allows. A lot had to change, so mistakes are inevitable

OyyoDams

No problem take your time. Thanks :)

Stranger & stranger,

Running on version Tue Feb 1 19:36:32 - Squidguard is working fine, updates when asked, progress bar works.

Only thing missing would be an automated update of the script.
