Thanks for making me think about it a little harder, Chris.

I'm getting redirected for <http://urbanlegends.about.com/> because the
squidGuard blacklists file that I downloaded on 2/22/2002 has
"about.com" in /ads/domains. I'm seeing a blank page because my ads
destination group redirects to a blank gif. It makes perfect sense. (I
guess we have to expect trash in the blacklists when the blacklists.tar
file grows from 782,299 bytes to 1,265,376 bytes in a week!)

But that begs the question: Why don't you see the same results? I'm
hoping it is because you haven't updated your blacklists files since
"about.com" was added to /ads/domains?

Thanks for your help. I won't be mis-directed by a blank page again.

Rick

The main page comes up.  The popup ad window comes up, but blank.

The main page did not render correctly at the top.  The rest of the page
rendered, including that nasty banner ad at the bottom.

grep urbanlegends /var/squid/logs/access.log | tail -n 1

Tell us the output.

Also, are you using any logging in your squidGuard.conf ?
