      Hello Every one

      i am getting a lot of problem after upgrading to the 2.2

      i doo a fresh install and i start to reconfigure all modules one by one
      now every think work well except the squidGuard-squid3 can't start any more

      my build
      2.2-RELEASE (i386)
      built on Thu Jan 22 14:04:25 CST 2015

      the squidGuard-squid3 version is 1.4_7 pkg v.1.9.6
      the squid3 version is 3.4.10_2 pkg 0.2.6

      error Log : from /var/log/squidGuard.log

      2015-01-26 02:48:50 [6298] /usr/local/bin/squidGuard: can't open configfile  /usr/local/etc/squid/squidGuard.conf
      2015-01-26 02:48:50 [6298] Going into emergency mode

      what i can't understand that the config file should be in  /usr/pbi/squidguard-squid3-i386/etc/squidGuard/squidGuard.conf  why the squidGuard is looking on this path  /usr/local/etc/squid/squidGuard.conf

      please help

        To make it working i should connect to the SSH console and start this command

        [2.2-RELEASE][root@pfSense.xxxxxxxx.com]/root: squidGuard  -C all -d

            to do so

            remove the squidGuard-squid3 version 1.4_7 pkg v.1.9.6

            and install squidGuard-devel 1.5_1beta pkg v.1.5.6 reconfigure it

            reboot and enjoy

              the SquidGuard dev version installed and it's running but still not filtering.
              I check the Squid setting and it reset the transparent proxy settings and SSL filtering.
              After Setting the squid proxy transparent settings, it works :)

                reboot and enjoy

                But squidGuard-Devel does not work with squid3 when I reboot the pfsense with squid-devel both are stopped, with Squidguard-squid3 the problem is that the service is stopped squidguard and the only way to start is to squidGuard -C all -d

                    Hi,

                    Same case here. We have a pfsense 2.2-RELEASE (amd64) built on Thu Jan 22 14:03:54 CST 2015. With the installed packages:

                    squid3 -> 3.4.10_2 pkg 0.2.6
                    squidGuard-devel  -> 1.5_1beta pkg v.1.5.6

                    Transparent proxy mode on and the only way to make it work is to launch a blacklist update in the gui or in the shell with:
                    squidGuard -C all -c /usr/pbi/squidguard-amd64/local/etc/squidGuard/squidGuard.conf

                    The the squidguard works well.

                    Does anyone get this fixed?

                    Bye.

                        Same issues. Squid crashing / stopping or squidguard not filtering.

                        Did a clean install today with exactly same results.
                        Infuriating as it is, I have an exact same setup running without issues.

                        not planning on touching either package with a 10foot pole for a while till they are stable.

                          I would prefer no to reinstall the whole system. I've tried to uninstall the packages delete al related files, reboot and reinstall and the problem persist  :(

                            Hi,

                            i've updated the system to the latest pfsense 2.2.1 and the problem persit  :( I've done a workarround by creating a file in /usr/local/etc/rc.d/ with the content:

                            !/bin/sh
                            /usr/pbi/squidguard-devel-amd64/bin/squidGuard -C all -c /usr/pbi/squidguard-amd64/local/etc/squidGuard/squidGuard.conf &
                            /usr/local/sbin/squid -f /usr/pbi/squid-amd64/local/etc/squid/squid.conf -k reconfigure

                            With this workarround the squid/squidguard is running after system (re)start.

                              Yep, did a full re-install and installed squid3 and squidguard-devel and all is working, except antivirus on squid3.

                              UPDATE: Clicked SAVE twice on antivirus settings of squid3, addressed stated config errors in red, and now antivirus is  working.

                              Snort, Squid3, and Squidguard-devel help contribute to make pfSense one hell of a firewall.
