Hi,

The dest and acl statements need to be at the left-hand margin - no 
leading spaces:

dest gambling {
       domainlist gambling/domains
       urllist    gambling/urls
}
acl {
       default {
           pass !gambling all
           redirect http://127.0.0.1/squidGuard-blocked.html
       }
}
Not pretty, but that is how I got it working....

Also, I've found it handy to use a script for testing rather than 
firing up squid each time:

  echo "http://$1 10.3.2.1/- - GET" | squidGuard -d -c 
/path/to/squidGuard.conf

where $1 is the url.

Just put this line in a file, say called test-sg, make it executable, 
then:

$   ./test-sg www.somesite.com

results are displayed on the screen.

cheers, Phil

You probably need to include the location of the squidGuard.conf 
file, eg:

squidGuard -c /path/to/squidGuard.conf -C 
/usr/local/squidGuard/db/gambling/domains

Also make sure the .db file is owned by the same user as the other 
files - if squidGuard can't read it, it will go into emergency mode. 
All activity is logged to the squidGuard.log file, so you can look 
there, too.

I downloaded the new blacklist and previously, i didn't have any 
.db file.

When i try to generate the .db using :
squidGuard -C /usr/local/squidGuard/db/gambling/domains
and in hang there...

It will take long time to generate the .db file?

my squidGuard.conf is as below :

dbhome /usr/local/squidGuard/db
logdir /usr/local/squidGuard/log
    dest gambling {
        domainlist gambling/domains
        urllist    gambling/urls
    }
    acl {
        default {
            pass !gambling all
            redirect http://127.0.0.1/squidGuard-blocked.html
        }
    }
Is there any problem?

please help!

Thanks.



i run it again specifying the squidGuard.conf path and check the log 
file.

It still not able to start and go into emergency mode with this error :

   parse error in configfile /usr/local/squidGuard/squidGuard.conf 
line 4
   going into emergency mode

my squidGuard.conf is as above.
Any error on line 4?
I want to create a .db and not update using -u because i didn't have 
a .db file yet.

Thanks.
