Web content filter fails when using a profile with a user or group

Support

I’m trying to configure Web content filter, but it fails if I start to create profiles with users or groups.

If have only the Default profile, or if have a profile with a host in the “Who” section all works fine.

The problem is when I add a profile with a user or group in the “Who” section.

This is what I have in the logs after creating the first profile with a user

/var/log/squidGuard/squidGuard.log:

And this is what I have if I delete that profile and only the Default profile remains

Hello Carlos,

I just tried with a user and it’s working for me and no error in the log

I used 6.8 release

Sorry I didn’t mention my version. I’m using 7.2.1511 (beta2).

It is probably something wrong with my configuration, but I can’t tell what it is.

Note: I don’t know how to upload a file to the post. I want to upload /etc/squid/squidGuard.conf, so you can see the bad line.

This is a bug I was hunting since yesterday, I’m working on it :slight_smile:

Edit:
The package is ready for testing, would you mind to try it?

yum --enablerepo=nethserver-testing update nethserver-squidguard
