I am having quite a bit of trouble getting squidGuard to start through squid. I am able to start squidGuard manually without any trouble. All directories and files for squid and squid guard are owned by squid:squid. I am running squid as user squid, and my "cache_effective_user" and "cache_effective_group" are set to squid.
While squid is starting up, it hangs for about 5 minutes when it gets to the "helperOpenServers: Starting 1 'squidGuard' processes" part. Then its tells me "WARNING: Cannot run '/usr/local/bin/squidGuard' process." Then squid loads normally, but without squidGuard. I am running squid in "transparent" mode and without caching ... proxy only. Would this have any effect? The system and version information is as follows : OS: Red Hat Linux release 7.1 (Seawolf) Kernel: 2.4.17 squid: squid-2.5.STABLE2 squidGuard: squidGuard-1.2.0 BerkleyDB: db-3.2.9 The redirector line in my squid.conf is as follows: redirect_program /usr/local/bin/squidGuard -c /usr/local/squid/etc/squidGuard.conf Following is an section from the squid log on the server: Mar 25 17:01:00 orbital squid[3746]: Squid Parent: child process 3748 started Mar 25 17:01:00 orbital squid[3748]: Starting Squid Cache version 2.5.STABLE2 for i686-pc-linux-gnu...
