Dear all, (Try googling for more than 2 days, problems still persists J) I have a problem on using squid guard in my proxy server (squid 2.6). Let me go straight to my question: I have installed squid 2.6 stable 6.4 in CentOS 5 using yum and installed squidguard using dag repository. Both of the squid and squidguard were running well, but the problem is squidguard did not block anything. Below is snippet of my configuration for squid 2.6, I have added: -------------------------------------------------------------------------- url_rewrite_program /usr/bin/squidguard -c /etc/squid/squidguard.conf --------------------------------------------------------------------------- and for the squidguard, I have made a simple rules: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- dest porn { domainlist porn/domains urllist porn/sites expressionlist porn/porn_dict log pornaccesses } dest gamble { expressionlist gambling/gambling_dict log gamblingaccesses } acl { default { pass !porn !gamble all redirect http://localhost/squid_redirect/AccessDenied.htm --------------------------------------------------------------------------- When I ran ps -ax, I can see both squid and squidguard were running, [root@ComboNetfinity squid]# ps -ax|grep squid Warning: bad syntax, perhaps a bogus '-'? See /usr/share/doc/procps-3.2.7/FAQ 6142 ? Ss 0:00 squid -D 6144 ? S 0:00 (squid) -D 6146 ? Ss 0:00 (squidguard) -c /etc/squid/squidguard.conf 6147 ?
