Red hat with dansguardian not working

Hi all

I have a problem with a Red Hat server acting as Internet Server. It cannot load Dansguardian and as a result no one can connect. Is there a way how I can force it to start or rectify the problem?

I am entering SU mode and typing /etc/init.d/dansguardian start and its giving FAILURE. Tried also restart and stop and yielded same results, its like not working anymore. Also going through webmin it is saying that it cannot start.

Can anyone help me please

Thanks

What do the syslog say on your server /var/log/messages?

sorry for my noobness but can you advise how i can check?

Check this syslog link. I'd suggest setting syslog to log messages at debug level and above. In summary, after setting syslog to debug, open another terminal window and then run this command while restarting your daemon. This will let you see new error and informational messages as they occur.

# tail -f /var/log/messages

You can always check the contents of your /var/log/messages error message file with this command.

# less /var/log/messages

Use the space bar to scroll down. <CTRL F> will go a page down (forward) and <CTRL B> will go back up
