      Thx for your response. Your suggestion does not work. See output :

      /usr/local/etc/rc.d/dansguardian.sh start

      kern.ipc.somaxconn: 16384 -> 16384
      kern.maxfiles: 131072 -> 131072
      kern.maxfilesperproc: 104856 -> 104856
      kern.threads.max_threads_per_proc: 4096 -> 4096
      Starting dansguardian.
      Error opening/creating log file. (check ownership and access rights).
      I am running as nobody and I am trying to open /var/log/dansguardian/access.log

              I uninstalled, installed dansguardian and than i did this :

              chown nobody:nobody /var/log

              Now it is running, but i am not sure if this affects other packages ?

                I have a similar issue. I just installed Dansguardian today to try and get it up and running. The service won't start. E.g.:

                @marcelloc:

                check and save all package gui tabs, this error shows a missing dansguardian dir on log file

                /var/log//access.log should be /var/log/dansguardian/access.log

                I checked and saved all package gui tabs and get this:

                and similar directory path errors when pfSense is booting up.

                On the Dansguardian General tab, the SSL section looks like this:

                I set up certs for when I opened OpenVPN access to my box, so I can remotely admin it using a tablet. But nothing is set on Dansguardian. I'm pretty much trying default settings. E.g., here is my Groups setting:

                Nothing about SSL filtering. Or am I looking in the wrong spot?

                Also, as I save each Dansguardian tab starting from the left, the system log looks like this:

                Until I get to the Access Control List and get the error in the second image that made me investigate further and prompted me to post this thread reply.

                BTW, I have Dansguardian's built-in antivirus setting disabled since I already had Havp installed and running.

                Any advice on how to get this working? It's not a showstopper for me - I can go back to SquidGuard/Squid/Havp but I wanted to try Squid/Dansguardian to see how it compared.

                  try to force file permissions alerted in logs and see if cert dir exists.
