      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

                        That´s the problem...graph.cgi compilation fails...

                          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?
