Just a quick note to update the list here. It seems we have solved Hement's problem about blocking sites. I just wanted to pass this on to the list as an FYI.

First, check that the first character in squidGuard.conf isn't a space. I had the same error with my logfile. It seems like your squidGuard is ignoring your logdir command in the conf file, and trying to write a log in /usr/local/squidGuard/logs/squidGuard.log Does this file exist? I had a similar error, what I did, was I created a link from where squidGuard was trying to make the log, to where I actually wanted the log to be. ln -s <directory/filename you want it to go> <dir/filename it's trying towrite to> in my case I did# ln -s /var/log/squidGuard/squidGuard.log /var/log/squidGuard/log/squidGuard.log (it was trying to go into a second log directory.) So you would do:# ln -s /usr/local/squid/var/logs/squidGuard.log /usr/local/squidGuard/logs/squidGuard.log Hopefully that takes care of the log error. Let me know how it goes.
