http://www.maynidea.com/squidguard/faq-plus.html -----Original Message----- From: Rob Jolliffe [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Saturday, April 06, 2002 12:24 PM To: Morris Maynard Subject: RE: Help: New install Well, Sorry about everyone getting multiple messages. Maybe something is wrong with the list server - because I sent one email only. It could be Pegasus Mail (my mailer) is retrying the message for some reason too - and sent 5 extras. I went to bed as soon as I sent it so I didn't see what it did. Curiously I did get 3 of each reply sent to me - which makes me think the listserv/majordomo machine is messing up. Now my answers to the replies: 1) > I noticed that you said the line in squid is: > > redirect_program /usr/local/bin/squidGuard -c > /usr/local/squidGuard/filter.conf No - this is right. I put it into /usr/local/squidGuard/. I think on Redhat maybe it's supposed to go into /etc/squidGuard - but I overrode the location. It shouldn't matter if I use the -c switch right? > Look in squidguard log.(may be you don't set permision as at squid on > your *.db files) squidGuard.log is empty (I said I looked in it). It does populate with data when I manually run squidGuard as in the following line: /usr/local/bin/squidGuard -c /usr/local/squidGuard/filter.conf < test > test.out > Look in your squid.conf file for cache_effective_user and > cache_effective_group. Since squid will be running squidGuard, *all* > of the squidGuard files/directories must be owned by the same user > and group (normally squid.squid). Check both the log file and its > directory. (During your test you started squidGuard, so it would > have inherited your user & group. I think that explains why you were > successfully writing to your log file.) That makes sense. I've tried that and I'll see how things work. > If that does not correct the problem, I need to ask - are you using > the default location for the log file > (/var/log/squidGuard/log/squidGuard.log)? There was a comment posted > in this group earlier in the week that squidGuard will not start if > the log is not in the default location, even if the configuration > file correctly defines the logdir. squidGuard is NOT writing the log to that /var directory. I overrode the location of the log using logdir=... the test did work however - so I think that's low on my list. > Take note: No matter what the documentation says, squidGuard 1.20 > requires Berkeley db version 3.29. I couldn't install with Berkeley3.3.x - only with 2.2.x. It compiled fine. I was searching for archived mails on this list and people said NOT to use the 3.x version of the DB. Very confusing. Needs an RPM for we neophites. -Rob ----------------------------------------- Robert Jolliffe, BASc, CNE, MCSE Creative Manufacturing Solutions Kitchener, Ontario Canada "Programming and Consulting Services" 519.585.7524 Copyright c 2001 Robert Jolliffe All Rights Reserved
