PfSense 2.2 : squid3 3.4.10_2 pkg 0.2.6 Patch captive portal Crash

magokbas

squid 3.4.10_2 is crashes when activated

The check_cp helpers are crashing too rapidly, need help!

I have the same here. As you said, it is related to Captive Portal Authentication. If you disable it, Squid will start.
I am trying to solve this issue. I think it is related to external acl setup.

It's related to pbi on pfsense 2.2 the scripts looks for php libs but when it's called via squid, it fails to load/find.

I'm having the same problem with a fresh 2.2 install. Squid 3 with Captive Portal auth.

Here's the bit from cache.log:

please could you tell me the solution of this problem if you solve it

I haven't found a way to solve the problem :(
All I did was disable authentication in Squid.

Unfortunately, the same problem persists in the new version (2.2.1).

Unfortunately, the same problem persists in the new version (2.2.1).

I think it will only work again without pbi(manual freebsd pkg install on 2.2) or on pfsense 2.3.

I'm having the same problem, please could you tell me the solution of this problem if you solve it.

Unfortunately, the same problem persists in the new version (2.2.2). I'm still waiting for correction :-\

Found a fix here is what I did

open a few terminals by sshing to pfsense box and goto command line

term 1 - view cache log to see what is happening
tail -f /var/squid/logs/cache.log

term 2 - run the cmds to link files where squid can access them

ln -s /usr/local/bin/php /usr/pbi/squid-amd64/local/bin/php
ln -s /usr/local/lib/php /usr/pbi/squid-amd64/local/lib/php
ln -s /usr/local/etc/php.ini /usr/pbi/squid-amd64/local/etc/php.ini
ln -s /usr/local/lib/libsqlite3.so.0 /usr/pbi/squid-amd64/local/lib/

Note removed the extra extensions from php.ini leaving only the sqlite3.so, so the cache log would not have so many warnings
vi /usr/pbi/squid-amd64/local/etc/php.ini

; Extensions

extension=sqlite3.so
–--------------

term 3 - run squid in debug mode, if it works, run squid -k shutdown and start from the gui
squid -d 9

Hi anutma,

I made them. The following errors output

Hi all,

After applying all these patches, squid 3 is working with captive portal authentication.
But after 3 days, we observed that some mobile devices are connecting to https sites without authentication. Whatsapp, gmail and youtube apps displays the content without authentication. As this happens users internet usage is not counted.

Any hint to check?

Everything works fine But there is a problem IDK why it is not serving as a proxy server I got this on my Squid Logs

It may occur when you select loopback interface to listen squid on. Try to select only lan, restart the service and test again.
