Hi,

This has already been fixed in Git.

You can manually apply the patch but don't forget to replace:

#!/usr/local/bin/perl

to

#!/usr/bin/perl

You can also install development version of Webmin that has this patched included as well.

i am sorry i am not that knowledgeable in this thing i am just using webmin to administer my BSD boxes so by manually aplying the patch you mean i should copy and paste https://github.com/webmin/webmin/blob/0ec818b517b4741ca28cbe6e06c54122260855f2/squid/index.cgi into index.cgi and edit that first line

[iliarostovtsev]

Hi,

You would have to replace complete content of the file but keeping the first line unchanged.

[Ramaqele]

i did that with no luck and to more clear i am using FreeBsd 11.2 on my box and maybe it will work on the new update of webmin and on the index.cgi file that first line is commented out does it make any difference

The first line is not a comment, it is what's commonly called a "shebang". It means "run this script using the following interpreter". Ilia said to leave that line unchanged, because depending on your OS, Perl may be installed in a few different places. It needs to stay the same, because otherwise it won't find Perl and won't run. You would change everything except the first line (or you'd copy the whole file into place and change the first line to match all the rest of the CGI scripts in your Webmin installation).

thank you very much @swelljoe for the clarification you made it as easy as i dnt even know how to say it my webmin and can read squid configuration very well and @rostovtsev you guys are the best in terms of support and actually what finally made it work was copying and pasting the /squid/index.cgi you posted on the follwing thread https://sourceforge.net/p/webadmin/bugs/4573/ keep up the good work.
