Probably, you runI have determined that the problems I am having is that squidGuard won't work with pre built databases. Squidguard works fine when there are no prebuilt databases (.db files), but when I use:squidGuard -C all To generate prebuilt databases from the domains and urls files, squidGuard no longer functions and seems to block every site on my white list. Does anybody have any idea as to what may be causeing this problem?
squidGuard -C allas user root and squid calls squidGuard to run as user proxy (or some similar username). The files written as root are nor readable by squidGuard. Check the permissions. If necessary, issue some
chown -R proxy.proxy /var/lib/squidguard/dbcommand.
You can get the username to put instead of "proxy" from your squid configuration file: look inside of /etc/squid.conf for a couple of lines telling squid who are the cache_effective_user and cache_effective_group.
Good luck.
