Re-direction problems in IPCOP

Yes all the settings have been changed via the gui.
I have just checked it and in there the url filter is enabled and the external proxy is set (and they both work when tested via a client)

This is strange. If these settings are showing up in the GUI, they are should be reflected in your squid.conf. Do you have any other addons installed (like Copfilter,etc)?

Does seem a little odd.
No i only have the url filter addon installed, nothing else.

You got any ideas mate?

I've just looked at the files you posted:

/var/ipcop/urlfilter/squidGuard.conf
/var/ipcop/urlfilter/settings
/var/ipcop/proxy/squid.conf

I notice that you've only copied the first screenful of lines. You will need to scroll down and make sure that all lines are copied. That should explain the missing information!!

That would explain it, sorry i presumed that it displayed to the end of the file.
