      Dansguardian was working fine. All of a sudden after installing squidguard to test something I started getting this error. The error persists even after removing squidguard and reinstalling dansguardian.

      Jul 29 15:58:58	php: /pkg_edit.php: The command '/usr/local/etc/rc.d/dansguardian.sh start' returned exit code '1', the output was 'kern.ipc.somaxconn: 16384 -> 16384 kern.maxfiles: 131072 -> 131072 kern.maxfilesperproc: 104856 -> 104856 kern.threads.max_threads_per_proc: 4096 -> 4096 Starting dansguardian. Error binding ipc server file (try using the SysV to stop DansGuardian then try starting it again or doing an 'rm /tmp/.dguardianipc'). Exiting with error /usr/local/etc/rc.d/dansguardian.sh: WARNING: failed to start dansguardian'

          I don't know how to do that (where would I enter that command and what is SysV?). But what I did was uninstall, reboot, reinstall. Still error persists.
