[K12OSN] SquidGuard won't start

If you are using squidguard, not just squid, use squid-squidguard.conf
and only start /etc/init.d/squidguard

Check out my "important files" section of my how-to
http://www.vermilion.lib.la.us/sysadminsite/squidguard/


Important Files:

/etc/squid/squid-squidGuard.conf  -  this is the configuration file
for squid.  There are two files, one is squid.conf the other is
squid-squidGuard.conf, ignore squid.conf and use the squidGuard.conf
file to configure squid.  squid.conf is there if you are only running
squid with no squidguard.

/etc/squid/squidGuard.conf  -  This file is to configure squidGuard

/var/log/squidGuard/squidGuard.log  -  this file will tell you if
there is a problem with squid, or if it started correctly.

/var/log/squid/access.log  -  If your traffic is routing correctly you
will see EVERY web request in this file.  You can see this by typing
"tail -f /var/log/squid/access.log"

/var/squidGuard/blacklists/(porn|warez|gambling|etc)/domains
/var/squidGuard/blacklists/(porn|warez|gambling|etc)/urls
These files (domains, urls) are the text files that contain the sites
that are to be blocked.  When the server is restarted each of these
directores will now have a database file (domains.db, urls.db) built
from these text files that squidguard will use to filter with.

/etc/rc.d/rc.local  - This is kind of like a startup file for Linux. 
I use it to run an iptables script that redirects incoming port 80
traffic to port 3128

/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf  -  apache's config file

Enjoy!
