      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

                                    Possible look you 'pkg_info' from shell?

                                        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.

                                            Yes, run the pkg_delete command while it is still installed from the WebGUI.

                                            I also added this procedure to the Wiki as an FAQ, so let me know if it doesn't work for you.
