Dear Chteh,
Exactly i faced the same problem, yours and mine OS, squid
version is same. I also couldn't make squidguard work with squid 2.6 and
gave up. Now i m using Dansguardian for web content filtering. ...I
guess there is some compatibility issues with squidguard and squid
2.6... Well hoping somebody could get the solution for it.. Thanks

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

And I did also testing the squidguard with this script:
