Topic: Editing dansguardian.pl has no effect.

[tspoon1986]

Hi,

I'm using Dansguardian on SME Server 7.3. I've just started using the default page rather than HTML, in order to take advantage of the "Submit a site review request" link. However, I want to change the address that the link points to. I've edited /home/e-smith/files/primary/cgi-bin/dansguardian.pl and run signal-event post-upgrade and signal-event reboot, but the links on the page still point to the old address. Can someone please confirm that this is the correct file to edit? If so, I will create a bug report.

Thanks.

This happens because you are using reportinglevel = 3

Look at dansguardian.conf file:

# Web Access Denied Reporting (does not affect logging)
#
# -1 = log, but do not block - Stealth mode
#  0 = just say 'Access Denied'
#  1 = report why but not what denied phrase
#  2 = report fully
#  3 = use HTML template file (accessdeniedaddress ignored) - recommended
#
reportinglevel = 3

and below you will see:

# accessdeniedaddress is the address of your web server to which the cgi
# dansguardian reporting script was copied. Only used in reporting levels 1 and 2.
#
# This webserver must be either:
#  1. Non-proxied. Either a machine on the local network, or listed as an exception
#     in your browser's proxy configuration.
#  2. Added to the exceptionsitelist. Option 1 is preferable; this option is
#     only for users using both transparent proxying and a non-local server
#     to host this script.
#
# Individual filter groups can override this setting in their own configuration.
#
accessdeniedaddress = 'http://xxxxxxxx/cgi-bin/dansguardian.pl'

So you will need to customize the file /languages/the_lang_you_have_set/template.html or change the reportinglevel parameter (Not recomended).

Thanks for your reply Normando.

I'm not sure if this is the case. I'm using Dungog's panel to configure dansguardian, and reporting level for the filter group is set to "report fully". Below is a section of /etc/dansguardian/dansguardian.conf:

Code: [Select]

###---------- LOCAL DansGuardian's  settings   ----------###

filterport = 8080
accessdeniedaddress = 'http://obfuscated.com/cgi-bin/dansguardian.pl'
maxuploadsize = -1
filtergroups = 1
loglevel = 3
logfileformat = 3
language = ukenglish

reportinglevel = 1
maxlogitemlength = 300
contentscanner = '/etc/dansguardian/contentscanners/clamdscan.conf'

###---------- Default DansGuardian's settings   ----------###
# DansGuardian config file for version 2.9.9.1,

# **NOTE** as of version 2.7.5 most of the list files are now in dansguardianf1.conf


# Web Access Denied Reporting (does not affect logging)
#
# -1 = log, but do not block - Stealth mode
#  0 = just say 'Access Denied'
#  1 = report why but not what denied phrase
#  2 = report fully
#  3 = use HTML template file (accessdeniedaddress ignored) - recommended
#
reportinglevel = 3
Which reportinglevel takes precedence? The first or second? It seems to me as though it's the cgi-bin script that is displayed when a page is blocked, not the HTML template file.

[Normando]

hmmmmm...may be dungog bug? I think the second will be removed.
Delete the second "reportinglevel", and use the first. Because this "bug?" you have not see your changes at dansguardian.pl file.

This didn't work. I'm going to raise a bug report.

I found out what the problem is. I have two SME Servers running dansguardian on the same domain, however only one of them is a public web server. I didn't realise that when using Dans on the non-web server it actually uses a URL to display the denied page from the web server, so I was editing the file on the wrong server! Thanks for your help Normando.
