      I just posted this in the 1.2.1 thread section regarding the same problem.

      Can somebody update the package to fix this issue? I don't know how to create a symlink :(

          For some reason, I can't reinstall it.

          The directory is missing in /usr/local/www

          Reinstalled package a bunch of times, no directory shows up even after refresh.

          The xml and options do work in the gui, services does not display lightsquid though.

          Is there anyway I could get this installed manualy, it seems the install through the gui isnt' working anymore.

            Package not fixed
            Can you execute from pfSense GUI
            'Diagnostics: Execute command > Execute Shell command' next cmd (?) :

            ln -s /usr/local/bin/perl /usr/bin/perl

              Thanks for the quick reply, I tried that, still no difference.

              Even after reinstall of the package in GUI. It's not even making the directories/config files anymore.

                  I am having the same problem as AudiAddict now.  It seems unrelated to the perl path issue.  I think the package is broken, it does not install anything into /usr/loca/www/  so the lightsquid directory does not exist.

                      Problem fixed with the help of dvserg!! (THANKS!!)

                      He asked me to post the instructions

                      • Remove package from GUI
                      • Go to the firewall shell and type pkg_info
                      • If lightsquid is listed, use PKG_delete to remove it (pkg_delete lightsquid-1.7.1_1)
                      • Reinstall from GUI now and it should be fixed!

                                Uninstall like explained above and then reinstall the package in the gui

                                then type in the shell :

                                ln -s /usr/local/bin/perl /usr/bin/perl

                                Make sure the log setting is switched on for squid and set to the standard dir and then go to lightsquid and refresh/update settings and it should work.

                                    Hi all,

                                    I've tried all the suggestions but still cant get lightsquid report to display anything other than the following:

                                    "LigthSquid diagnostic.
                                    Error : report folder '/var/lightsquid/report' not contain any valid data! Please run lightparser.pl (and check 'report' folder content)
                                    Please check config file !

                                    Variable                                                   value
                                    $tplpatph                                             /usr/local/www/lightsquid/tpl
                                    $templatename                                     base
                                    $langpatph                                             /usr/local/share/lightsquid/lang
                                    $langname                                             eng
                                    $reportpath                                             /var/lightsquid/report
                                    Access to '/var/lightsquid/report' folder     yes

                                    folder content:

                                    /var/lightsquid/report folder has no data (files/folders) in it so there is a definate problem. Does anyone have any other suggestions?

                                    Thanks,

                                    helwoe

                                      1. You must check squid logging for enable, use some time squid, and after refresh LS from GUI
                                      2. And check perl for exists - type 'pkg_info' from console (post here pls).

                                        Thanks for the reply.

                                        I took a break (college professor insists we do this) after a few hours and took another look, lightsquid report was working!

                                        Nice tool to play with!

                                        Cheers

                                          Hi all! Still having problems with lightsquid. :-\

                                          I reinstalled the package as directed in this thread, made the symlink (ln -s /usr/local/bin/perl /usr/bin/perl), checked permissions on index.cgi, graph.cgi and restarted the box several times. Still getting the 500 error when I ask for the graphics reports. Text reports work OK. Any tips or leads that could help me?

                                          BR
