It is said that squidGuard 1.2.0 works best with db 3.2.9: ---- From http://www.maynidea.com/squidguard/faq-plus.html --- Squidguard 1.20 requires version 3.29 of the Berkely db. It won't work with version 2.27, nor will it work with 4.0. The assertion that configure makes about requiring 3.2.* or later is not really correct. SquidGuard needs 3.2.x ( not sure which version is too low) and we know specifically that it works quite nicely with 3.2.9. I have tried it with 3.3.x and it craps out every time. Same with 2.7.7. (Thanks to Robert Nickel for these specifics). (It has been reported that squidguard 1.20 will work with other versions of the db if you are using plain text files for your blacklists; in other words, if there are no *.db files in your blacklist directories. This can really slow down the startup time of squid/squidguard, but otherwise may not be harmful.) -------------------------------------------------------------- > > 3) What messages do you get in /var/log/squidGuard/squidGuard.log > > when you do a "squid -k reconfigure"? > I get something like this ... > init iplist /usr/share/squidGuard-1.2.0/db//privilegedsource/ips > sourceblock privilegedsource missing active content, set inactive > init iplist /usr/share/squidGuard-1.2.0/db//privilegedsource/ips > sourceblock privilegedsource missing active content, set inactive Here's your source definition from your config file (made human-readable): # SOURCE ADDRESSES: src privilegedsource iplist privilegedsource/ips src bannedsource iplist bannedsource/ips src lansource iplist lansource/lan You've told squidGuard that you've divided your users into 3 groups - privilegedsource, bannedsource, and lansource. You've also told it that the membership of each of those groups is contained in the 3 files: privilegedsource/ips bannedsource/ips lansource/lan The ip address listings in each of those files tells squidGuard which devices belong to which groups. squidGuard is complaining in the log that it doesn't like the format of those 3 files. You might want to recheck them.

Well, I went into the directory /usr/share/squidGuard-1.2.0/ and did squidGuard -C all But it just returned teh prompt. I didn't any file .db? It just created domains.db files in all the directories. I don't at all understand how exactly squidGuard works. Now what can be the problem???? squidGuard was installed from the Mandrake Linux CD only during the Linux installation.
