Topic: Problem Adding Domain To SquidGuard

[Daniel Marte]

I just installed SuidGuad version 3.1 on SME 5.1.2 and when I try to add a domain to the list using the control panel I get the following error:

Adding "sexy.com" to the untrusted domains file.

Warning:  open_basedir restriction in effect. File is in wrong directory in /home/e-smith/files/ibays/squidguard/html/squidguard.php on line 36

Warning:  fopen("/home/e-smith/files/ibays/squidguard/cgi-bin/untrusted/domains","a") - Operation not permitted in /home/e-smith/files/ibays/squidguard/html/squidguard.php on line 36


Where do I need to add this domain?  DO I need to go to the console directly?  Whats the purpose of the panel (using the Server-manager)?

The panel does not work properly with SME 5.12.  The domains list is located in /usr/local/squidGuard/db/trusted.  After editing you need to restart squid.  I wrote a simple batch file to speed up making changes to the trusted domains and put it in my root directory:

#!/bin/sh
cd /usr/local/squidGuard/db/trusted
pico domains
cd /root
/etc/rc.d/init.d/squid stop
/etc/rc.d/init.d/squid stop


If you do something like this you will need to set the modes to make it executable.

Hope this helps.
