PFsense 1.2.3 /squid syntax error
Printer-friendly versionSend to friend

Hello All
I've run into a tree along the road with my configuration of videocache on my Pfsense box. I'm using the guidline found here http://cachevideos.com/install-videocache-pfsense

Now I'm not a shell person But I managed to learn how to use VI from an ssh connection to my pfsense computer and pasted the extra config text into the squid.inc file and saved it. When I restart squid and go to it's config menu from the gui I get a syntax error. I pasted this at the bottom of the file. Now to a fellow like me I have NO clue what "Add the lines after acls" means So I stuck it at the bottom. That should be updated!

I have read some other posts here concerning the same basic issue but they all seem to deal with a linux OS This being bse I didn't trust my self to use any commands that might fix this issue from other systems.

Also any tips on how to check the rest of the install would be sweet , Working from shell and finding a file is like driving in the dark with a candle for headlights.

Thanks
Allan

Ran -K parse , This is after I deleted the added lines form the config file.

After hours of messing around I managed to get squid to run again .
I'm still stuck on where exactly the extra lines are to be inserted after the alc . What part is before and what part is after. It's a simple question does anyone have an answer?

Hi Alan,

I am sorry for the late reply. The lines mentioned on installation page can be inserted in squid.conf either on top or bottom. Please contact using Contact link on top.

Thank You!
