      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.

                      :-\ no, it doesn´t work for me. The uninstall goes ok but the symlink tells me that there is already a /usr/bin/perl file. Should I delete this file and run the symlink again? About to give up with lightsquid… :( . Oh! just the graphics interface (graph.cgi only involved) is giving me trouble. Numeric data shows ok.

                      Regards.

                        What do you see when you try this?

                        # ls -l /usr/bin/perl
                        

                        It should look like this:

                        lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  19 Dec 13 17:30 /usr/bin/perl -> /usr/local/bin/perl
                        

                        You can also test perl like so:

                        # /usr/bin/perl -v
                        

                        You should get a short answer stating the version and license info.

                        You might also try looking in the lighthttpd error log:

                        # cat /var/log/lighttpd.error.log

                            What about these?

                            # find / -name "GD.pm"
                            /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/mach/GD.pm
                            
                            # pkg_info | grep -i "gd-2*"
                            gd-2.0.35,1         A graphics library for fast creation of images
                            p5-GD-2.39          A perl5 interface to Gd Graphics Library version2
                            
                            # cat /var/db/pkg/p5-GD-2.39/+REQUIRED_BY
                            lightsquid-1.7.1_1
                            

                            I'm not sure why yours wouldn't be properly pulling the dependencies like it should.

                            I suppose you could also try to remove lightsquid, gd, p5-GD, and so on and reinstall.

                            I wonder if perl uninstalled, removed the GD lib, but the package info for GD is still hanging out and thinks it is installed.

                            Sounds like a real mess, but recoverable if that's the case.

                                No need to do that dvserg. Thanks a lot anyway. It is not critical for us right now. We´ll try to debug this pointing to the GD graphics package.

                                  I still get the "500 - Internal Server Error" on pfSense 1.2-RELEASE

                                  When I type:

                                  # pkg_info | grep -i "gd-2*"
                                  

                                  I get no output - these two packages are not installed. How can I get them installed?
