When it works from the command line yet fails from the browser it is typically a permissions problem. Start by looking in the squidGuard.log file (possibly in /usr/local/squidGuard/log/squidGuard.log, but it could be elsewhere). squidGuard writes to its log file every time it starts, so if you do not find a log file it is probably because squidGuard cannot write to the log directory. squidGuard is run with the same user and group ID as Squid (cache_effective_user and cache_effective_group in squid.conf). The squidGuard configuration and database files must be readable for this user and/or group and the squidGuard log directory must be writable for this user and/or group. If not squidGuard will go into the "pass all for all" emergency mode. Rick
