Title: SquidGuard
Post by: Byte on May 12, 2003, 10:43:21 PM

Hi,

Has anyone installed squidGuard 3.2 on SME 5.6 I have looked at the README file but it says only for 5.1.2 and 5.5. If squidGuard 3.2 is not the correct tarball where could I find the file to install on 5.6


Thanks for any help

When SG tries to update with a new blacklist I get this error-email in my admin mailbox:

/etc/cron.daily/supdate.cron:

http://ftp.ost.eltele.no/pub/www/proxy/squidGuard/contrib/blacklists.tar.gz:
04:04:55 ERROR 404: Not Found.
tar (child): *: Cannot open: No such file or directory
tar (child): Error is not recoverable: exiting now
tar: Child returned status 2
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
cp: cannot stat blacklists/*': No such file or directory

Could anyone give me a good url for downloading blacklists ?

My regards,

Molski

Steve,

Looks like you have a problem with log roatating as the blacklist line does not have any errors attached to it?

I have the same error and need to know where the configs for squid guard are to put the line in

ftp://ftp.teledanmark.no/pub/www/proxy/squidGuard/contrib/blacklists.tar.gz

is it in a config file or what do I need to do in order to configure it?

Tim,

Open up server-manager and  on the left under the "Security" there should be a "Content Filtering" link, click on that. Then at the bottom of the page on the right there should be a place where you can put this address (Uder the Balcklist Controls heading) and click the "Submit Data" button underneath it and bingo!

Is it required to reboot the server to have Squidguard running?
I need to install it in a production server, and would like to avoid
rebooting.

No.  You can restart squid and apache using the run level scripts and squidguard will be up and running.

Thanks Greg,
but what do you mean by ""run level scripts"" ?

Scripts that manage services.  Run the following from a shell session.

Squid:  
/etc/rc.d/init.d/squid restart

Apache:
/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd restart

Either that or you could reboot in the middle of the night...  Your people don't work around the clock do they?

Ah... that's easy...
Yes they work around the clock.. but I can have access to the hardware only at work hours.

Steve, I get somewhat the same error e-mail every day.  I double checked that the downloaded file is correct and sure enough it is.  I saw Cyrus Bharda's post, but do not know if squidguard is actually updating the blacklist.

Have you had any luck tracking this down?

I am running SME 5.6UDR-U4.  Here's what I receive each day for the error e-mail:
----
/etc/cron.daily/supdate.cron:

04:05:21 URL: ftp://ftp.teledanmark.no/pub/www/proxy/squidGuard/contrib/blacklists.tar.gz [430127] -> "blacklists.tar.gz" [1] tar (child): blacklists: Cannot read: Is a directory tar (child): At beginning of tape, quitting now tar (child): Error is not recoverable: exiting now

gzip: stdin: unexpected end of file
tar: Child returned status 2
tar: blacklists.tar.gz: Not found in archive
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
---
I searched the forums and this appears to be the only thread that mentions this problem specifically.
