Problem with Squid

[sunch1ld]

Hi

I am using pfsense  2.0.1-RELEASE (i386) during the boot process I see error messages of squid. I report here the System log

At the same time I see in the portalauth log these messages

Squid seems terminate and reastart more than one time. Sometimes happens that It does not start at boot phase.

What can I do to avoid this behavior?

I'm not an expert but…. I would try uninstalling and the Squid package and then re-install.

FYI: I, too, had some problems with squid a couple months ago, but then found that I was installing Squid3 and then Squidguard.  Apparently, some of the config stuff changes as squid would not start and I got many of the same type of errors.

I have not retried this recently.

It is "normal" that packages restart several times on bootup. This is because some packages need to restart if interfaces are changing or firewall rules. On bootup there is so much which will be configured so that restarts are not a problem.

So my question is:
What does not work ?
What error do you mean exactly to be an "error" ?
