      i have pfSense 1.2,
      squid 2.6.18.1_05, - updated recently but no change to this issue
      lightsquid 1.7.1

      the only other package i have is bandwidthd 2.0.1.1

      it seems every first day of a new month squid, or at least lightsquid stops working, and no entries are found by generating reports. this has happened every month since i put together this pfSense machine. squid logs rotate weekly on mondays, and hitting refresh doesn't help, but reinstalling the packages solves the problem.

      does anyone know whats going wrong? i have already reinstalled the packages this month, so next month i will try just one or the other to narrow down which package is iffy. any help appreciated, thanks in advance

        What settings "log rotate" you have (squid GUI & LS GUI) ?

          thanks for replying

          for squid, i must have overlooked it when configuring it so it has been left blank (ie disabled)
          lightsquid is weekly monday

          you think squid's log not rotating is the problem?

                      so sorry, i thought i was the last one to post. i didn't know you'd replied..

                      well its november 1st and it seems to be ok now. whatever it is i did was after you suggesting it was to do with log rotation, so thank you you appear to have solved the problem.

                      cheers
