Installed squidclam to allow squid to pipe downloads through clamav. Edited squid.conf as per docs (although path to squidclam is inaccurate in docs). Restarted squid, and it simply crashes out with "The redirector helpers are crashing too rapidly, need help!_". Suspect broken ebuild/permission problem. Running squidclam manually shows no problems and it appears to work find in other distros. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. /etc/init.d/squid restart 2. 3. Actual Results: squid crashes out, with errors in log Expected Results: squid to work with squidclam
Found that the problem is caused by permission problems due to squid and clamav running as different users. My fix was to do the following: chmod 770 /var/lib/clamav chgrp -R squid /var/lib/clamav cd /var/lib/clamav chmod 664 * This allows squid to access clamav's files. None of this is mentioned in the docs, so I hope it helps someone else who is trying to install this!
