In
fact squid is being used. Squid is a proxy; web browsers and ftp clients connect
to it instead of connecting directly to an outside host, and it (provisionally)
completes the transaction for the client by forwarding the request on to the
real server. Squidguard is a redirector program; squid can call redirector
programs to change the address from that requested by the client to something
else.
The
key to beginning to debug things, once you think they are set up
correctly, is to find the log files for each program and read them. This
would be a cache.log and access.log for squid, and squidguard.log for
squidguard. If these files don't exist then you can pursue the problem of
finding out why squid or squidguard can't create these files. If they do exist,
then they will probably help you find out what the real problem
is.
If
this fails to help, you should attach your squidguard.conf to your next
message.

Subject: Squidguard NewbieHi,
I have installed the latest version of squidguard, but not been able to get it working.
I have read and read and read and yet still don't really understand how the configuration is set up.
With the fact in mind that I am a newbie, please could someone help me with a simple config, explain what is does so that I can use it....
Also I gather from the docs on the net that squid is not being used anymore, as squid guard is taking care of the rest.
I have done the configuration change in squid.conf to redirect to squidGuard etc....
I appreciate your patience
