      Services tab on 2.0.1 needs a Fix.

      Are you using squid3? If so, reinstall it after dansguadian.

      Try to start dansguardian on console to check if it's returning errors.

          check all config tabs, startup script is looking for files that was not created by package config.

                Hello,
                I followed the instruction on how to do the setup. All fine and all works.
                I get a issue with squid not starting so I reinstalled it. Both DG and squid start.

                But nothing is blocked. what am I missing?

                Thanks
                Iain

                  what you get on system logs?

                  did you tried to stop dansguardian and start again?

                  Are you using 2.12.0.3 or 2.12.0.3_1?

                    Hello
                    So I am using
                    Dansguardian 2.12.0.3 pkg v.0.1.7_3
                    Squid 3.1.20 pkg 2.0.6

                    I uninstalled both and rebooted. And installed one at a time, rebooting inbetween.
                    Both services are running without issues now.

                    Still not blocking the example site. "Badboys.com".
                    Will check log later.

                    Thanks

                      Hello,
                      No real changes and it is working again….
                      Is it taking the time setting from somewhere... I haven't enabled it

                      Time limiting syntax:

                      #time: <start hour=""><start minute=""><end hour=""><end minute=""><days># Example:

                      ##time: 9 0 17 0 01234

                      Remove the first # from the line above to enable this list only from

                      9am to 5pm, Monday to Friday.

                      Will add a few screen shots later.</days></end></end></start></start>

                        to confirm it, try to mess up the time config like

                        #tixmxex: 9 0 17 0 01234
