Hello Chaps, I'm still struggling (and still failing) to to squidGuard to work with squid. For those of you who have not been following each gripping instalment of this thread here is a quick recap... I can run squid very happily on my FC4 machine. I have tried installing squidGuard by RPM, by Yum and finally from source. I have (I think) changed all the file ownerships and permissions that I should have done and yet I have always got (and still get) the same error when I include squidGuard as a redirector in squid: 2006/01/14 21:36:07| helperOpenServers: Starting 5 'squidGuard' processes 2006/01/14 21:36:07| comm_open: FD 6 is a new socket 2006/01/14 21:36:07| fd_open FD 6 squidGuard 2006/01/14 21:36:07| comm_open: FD 7 is a new socket 2006/01/14 21:36:07| fd_open FD 7 squidGuard 2006/01/14 21:36:07| ipcCreate: prfd FD 7 2006/01/14 21:36:07| ipcCreate: pwfd FD 7 2006/01/14 21:36:07| ipcCreate: crfd FD 6 2006/01/14 21:36:07| ipcCreate: cwfd FD 6 2006/01/14 21:36:07| ipcCreate: FD 7 sockaddr 127.0.0.1:32990 2006/01/14 21:36:07| ipcCreate: FD 6 sockaddr 127.0.0.1:32989 2006/01/14 21:36:07| ipcCreate: FD 6 listening... 2006/01/14 21:36:07| leave_suid: PID 12881 called 2006/01/14 21:36:07| leave_suid: PID 12881 giving up root priveleges forever 2006/01/14 21:36:07| ipcCreate: calling accept on FD 6 2006/01/14 21:36:07| comm_close: FD 6 2006/01/14 21:36:07| commCallCloseHandlers: FD 6 2006/01/14 21:36:07| fd_close FD 6 squidGuard 2006/01/14 21:36:07| connect FD 7: (13) Permission denied 2006/01/14 21:36:07| comm_close: FD 7 2006/01/14 21:36:07| commCallCloseHandlers: FD 7 2006/01/14 21:36:07| fd_close FD 7 squidGuard 2006/01/14 21:36:07| WARNING: Cannot run '/usr/local/squidguard/bin/squidGuard' process. The "Permission denied" message has led me down the file ownership / permissions route; but I am able to run squidGuard from the command line with the "sudo" command: [root@localhost bin]# sudo -u squid /usr/local/squidguard/bin/squidGuard -d 2006-01-22 18:30:36 [14702] squidGuard 1.2.0 started (1137954636.066) 2006-01-22 18:30:36 [14702] squidGuard ready for requests (1137954636.096) Now, after some Googling, I see that this problem (or at least similar problems) can be caused by a firewall on the loopback interface. Do you think this is the cause of my problem? (I posted my Iptables output in an earlier post). However, as a test, I temporarily disabled the firewall and unfortunately still got the same problem. That is the firewall on this FC4 machine... I am connected to the Internet via a wireless connection which has its own firewall - but surely that should not affect this (or should it?) What should my next step be? Dying of frustration here..... Many thanks for your patience... Mark
