      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.

        This recept helped to me:
        ln -s /usr/local/bin/perl /usr/bin/perl

        Thank you, dvserg.

          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

                                          Last time I had a problem, the instructions in this thread worked for me.

                                          In summary:
                                          While it was installed in the WebGUI, go to the shell.
                                          pkg_delete lightsquid*
                                          ln -s /usr/local/bin/perl /usr/bin/perl
                                          Go back to the webgui and install it again.

                                          After that, it worked like a charm.

                                            So, you mean to run the pkg_delete command before uninstalling the package from the GUI? Humm, I´ll try! Thanks.
