[Ubuntu] Dansguardian 2.10.0.3 and Ubuntu 9.04

[voodoochile]

Hello
I'm trying to manually compile dansguardian 2.10.0.3 on ubuntu server 9.04 (this version of DG supports blanket block of https by ip address which is what im after not the version on the repo of 2.9.9.7)
I cant get it to work .....ive done ./configure - make and make install and it completes with no errors.
What happens next ?
Do i need to specify additional parameters to the ./configure command line ?
How do i get DG to start ? I assume that i need to link some files with the init.d folder ..dunno
I'm at a loss where to look next cant seem to find any information anywhere
I've always used apt-get to install pre compiled packages in the past
Cheers

Look for the dansguardian binary (whereis dansguardian), likely in /usr/local/dansguardian/ if you didn't chose anywhere different at the configure step.

DG may have installed init scripts, or have sample files included, is there anything in the source tarball you grabbed?

[powdarrmonkey]

There's a system-v init script included for you:

$ sudo cp /usr/local/share/dansguardian/scripts/systemv-init /etc/init.d/dansguardian
$ sudo /etc/init.d/dansguardian start

You'll also find a log-rotate plugin in there. Of course, make sure you've configured it first, as instructed in the INSTALL file.

Hello there
Thanks for the pointers in the right direction

after running /etc/init.d/dansguardian i get this error "-bash: /etc/init.d/dansguardian: Permission denied" so i changed the permissions the the dansguardian file to excecute run the command again now i get this error "/etc/init.d/dansguardian: 27: Syntax error: "(" unexpected"

any ideas ?

here is my DG start up script (etc/init.d/dansguardian ), ive not modified anything in the ./configure except --enable-ntlm=yes and the package is dansguardian-2.10.0.3.tar.gz from the dansguardian web site.

I'm not a sh master, but I don't think you need the word 'function' on line 22.

[voodoochile]

Hello powdarrmonkey

i rem out out function wait_for_pid() on line 22

now i got a different error !!!!

root@ubuntu904:/apps/dansguardian-2.10.0.3# /etc/init.d/dansguardian start
[: 52: Illegal number: start

Cheers

Karl

[powdarrmonkey]

No don't get rid of the whole line, just remove the 'function' keyword.

[voodoochile]

Hello again

After just removing function from the line i now get this error......!!!

root@ubuntu904:/apps/dansguardian-2.10.0.3# /etc/init.d/dansguardian start Starting dansguardian: -e -e [ -e FAILED-e ]

any more ideas or suggestions

Cheers

Karl

[james_yale]

I've tried the script and it runs fine for me - have you tried:

sh /etc/init.d/dansguardian start

?

[voodoochile]

Hello
after trying sh /etc/init.d/dansguardian start this appears

root@ubuntu904:/apps/dansguardian-2.10.0.3# sh /etc/init.d/dansguardian start
Starting dansguardian: -e -e [ -e OK-e ]

#to see whats what

root@ubuntu904:/apps/dansguardian-2.10.0.3# dansguardian -s
Parent DansGuardian pid:14798
root@ubuntu904:/apps/dansguardian-2.10.0.3# dansguardian -v
DansGuardian 2.10.0.3

Built with: '--prefix=/usr' '--sysconfdir=/etc' '--localstatedir=/var' '--enable-ntlm=yes'
root@ubuntu904:/apps/dansguardian-2.10.0.3#

dansguardian is working

reboot machine dansguardian not starting up automatically

root@ubuntu904:~# dansguardian -s
No DansGuardian process found.
root@ubuntu904:~#

not a clue about this ...whats the -e [ -e OK-e] after running startup ? never seen that before when starting programs

Cheers

[james_yale]

The extra output you're seeing is probably down to this part of the code:

echo -e "\\033[60G\c"
echo -e "[ \\033[1;32m\c"
echo -e "OK\c"
echo -e "\\033[0;39m\c"
echo " ]"

It's printing the '-e' which should be read as an argument to the echo command. This might be related to why your shell can't run the script, you can find which shell you're using by:

echo $SHELL

As the script works when executed manually with sh (bash [it's a bash script]) it is correct and working, to make it execute on boot you'll have to generate init scripts to bring the service up, for that you use update-rc.d.

update-rc.d dansguardian defaults
