Squid3 - New GUI with sync, normal and reverse proxy

edanpedragosa · May 14, 2014, 3:25 AM

I am still experiencing the same problem.

I've got the time last week to reinstall pfsense amd-64 and the same problem exists.

So my solution right now is to reboot pfsense everyday using CRON @ 1 am. That way pfsense will be alive the next working day.

I'm suspecting one of the packages installed is messing it up at 12 midnight so I do a cron to reboot the machine @ 1am daily.

To heimdal, you can install the CRON package then add a cron task:

0 1 * * * root /sbin/reboot

I hope the fix will be released soon.

Same issue here - squid stops working every now and then randomly, with the same log entries as shared by member below: Squid 3.1.20 pkg 2.0.7 on pfSense 2.1.3

@edanpedragosa:

Since upgrading, I noticed that Squid and Squidguard stops after a day.

It will work the whole day after I restarted the services but the next day, it's not working again. I then need to restart the services again then it will work for the day then stops again the next day and so on….

Guys, i thinki solved mine issue…

I had problems installing packages on new builds... only if SNORT is on.

So, i simply disable Snort while installing and all is fine.

Hope someone will find it useful.

Thanks to marcelloc!

The latest update seems to have fixed the problem of squid stopping at midnight and never restarted properly.

My pfsense machine has now been up for 5 days and counting.

I'm getting the error as described in this thread: http://www.squid-cache.org/mail-archive/squid-users/201406/0117.html with this version: 3.3.10 pkg 2.2.6 on pfSense 2.1.4-RELEASE (amd64).

According to the thread, it could be fixed with the 3.3.11 version. Any chance of getting an update to that version? Thanks.

i get the same error on but squid is running for me with no other issues. I am running i386 tho

zang3tsu · Jun 26, 2014, 11:48 PM

I actually found this while fixing another issue. The issue is fixed now and squid is running even with the error.

Cino · Jun 26, 2014, 11:57 PM

was the fix copying over some files? I've been meaning to switch over to amd64 but haven't since other installs have had issues with squid and dansguardian

zang3tsu · Jun 27, 2014, 12:00 AM

Uh no. It's not actually fixed per the above error message. I just had an issue with my settings in the reverse proxy and that issue is fixed now. Otherwise, squid is running good with squidGuard. I think I tried dansguardian before but SSL filtering doesn't seem to work so I just opted for squidGuard.

I was getting the previously discussed msgget failed error and the squid service would not stay running. The issue only appeared about a week after installing lightsquid, probably when the files were set to update. I uninstalled lightsquid but that didn't seem to help. I cleared the squid cache but that didn't seem to help. The only fix I found was to reboot the box after removing lightsquid and now everything is up and running smoothly.

Recently we install the following:

pfSense 2.1.5 VM
Squid3dev 3.3.10 pkg 2.2.6
Diladele 3.3.0.E807

We are running in transparent mode with HTTPS bumping.

Lately we have been getting icap errors:

The message is coming from Squid:

ICAP protocol error.
The system returned: [No Error]

Is there anywhere I can look for more detail?

Also, while looking in the /var/squid/logs/cache.log I have been seeing many:

parse error while reading template file: /usr/pbi/squid-amd64/etc/squid/errors/templates/error-details.txt
WARNING: failed to find or read error text file error-details.txt

This file does exist:

-r–r--r-- 1 proxy proxy 7151 Nov 26 2013 error-details.txt

Hi guys,

I configured pfSync + CARP and both server are running ok. But Squid "Sync to configured system backup server" does not work. I'm getting this message in system logs

php: /pkg_edit.php: [squid] xmlrpc sync is enabled but there is no system backup hosts to push squid config.

But, if I change this configuration to "Sync to hosts defined below" and put IP address from backup server everything works fine.

This is a bug or I forgot some configuration?

Thanks

Hi!

With HTTPS/SSL interception enabled, some desktop apps like google drive does not work.

Any easy workaround for this?

Thanks!

Hello,

I am attempting to install squid3 from the packages menu and getting the following error:
pfsense version: 2.2-BETA (amd64) built on Tue Oct 21 13:21:00 CDT 2014 FreeBSD 10.1-RC2

Is this not available on 2.2 as a pbi? Do I need to install manually via CLI?

Hi!

Is there a way to revert back to 3.3.10 pkg 2.2.6 from the current 3.3.10 pkg 2.2.8?

Thanks!

finalcut · Nov 10, 2014, 8:34 AM

why do you want to revert back ,, i'm about to update ?

edanpedragosa · Nov 10, 2014, 8:52 AM

It seems that after the update, the squid real-time monitoring does not work anymore.

Also, the tweak to allow large downloads in cache also stopped working.

With that note, I want to revert to see if the issue was with this update or not.

finalcut · Nov 10, 2014, 10:41 AM

clear old cash
or
from console squid -k rotate

Hi,
I set it to portuguese pt-br and I receive the following error messages on startup:

Thanks,

edanpedragosa · Nov 11, 2014, 4:19 AM

I already cleared the cache many times, even uninstalled and reinstalled all the packages with the same effect.

I'm not pretty sure if rotating logs will make a difference, anyway, I'll try again later.

SARG can still display the realtime logs but squid realtime is not working.

I hope the next update will fix it.
