      Can you explain these commands to better understand?

        @scooterdouglas:

        Check the following directories for any perl symlinks:

        /usr/bin
          /usr/local/bin

        Delete any that you find, then:

        cd /usr/bin

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

        ls -ltr | grep -i perl

        lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel       19 Sep 11 23:02 perl -> /usr/local/bin/perl

        That is how I solved the Error 500 message.

        ;)

        Questions:
        1. is perl symlink a file?
        2. Are these codes needed to be copied verbatim in Diagnostics>Command Prompt>Execute shell command?

        cd /usr/bin

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

        ls -ltr | grep -i perl

        lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel      19 Sep 11 23:02 perl -> /usr/local/bin/perl

          The graphics tab not working may be something else entirely. The perl-related 500 error made it not work at all.

          There is probably some graphing library that tab tries to use that isn't being pulled in.

            I have the same "500 - Internal Server Error" when I try to see Lightsquid Report.
            2.0-RC2 (i386) built on Tue Jun 14 11:14:26 EDT 2011
            It was working before updating to the version above.
            Remove package, reinstalled and the error persist.

            you would not believe the view up here

              you could try to force it a bit:

              uninstall lightsquid, squidguard, and squid

              Then go to Diagnostics > Command or the shell, and type:

              pkg_delete -f \*squid\* perl\*
              

              And then reinstall squid, squidguard, and lightsquid.

                The symlink trick and the reinstall trick didn't work either…
                I'm really surprised that the Team did not fix this!
                We are many people using pfsense in this configuration : squid > squidguard > lightsquid
                This problem remains since the 1.2.3.
                Any xml fix could be considered?

                Thanks for all your hard work making us love pfSense.

                  If you reinstall the lightsquid package now, does it behave any differently?

                  I made some fixes yesterday, though I haven't tested it out on a fresh 1.2.3 vm.

                    I am having the very same issue, where the whole report page has been replaced by a "500 - Internal Server Error" in 2.0 RC1 version from yesterday. reinstalling makes no difference, sadly.

                    Is there a way we could fix this?

                    Thanks!

                      I know for a fact it's fine on 2.0. Update to RC3 (it's out officially) and if it doesn't work after the packages reinstall there (should happen automatically with the firmware update), try what I mention earlier in the thread (quoted below).

                      @jimp:

                      uninstall lightsquid, squidguard, and squid

                      Then go to Diagnostics > Command or the shell, and type:

                      pkg_delete -f \*squid\* perl\*
                      

                      And then reinstall squid, squidguard, and lightsquid.

                        squid + Lightquid + squidguard it's working perfectly. No special install order.

                            In the directory "/usr/bin" file appeared "perl  0 B 1970.01.01 03:00:00 (0) ? –- --- ---",
                            selected on the picture and you can not delete it, because it says that the file is not correct. What can I do?

                              Hi all!

                              After several re-installation of packages Squid and Lighsquid, it worked.
                              File has the normal value. What's the problem I still do not understand.

                                    the problem is about the perl version or symlink to the perl subversion if u have more the one version installed on your system.
                                    something like that

                                      This works on 2.1 also.  Shouldn't this placed as a bug somewhere so they fixed on the package?.

                                        It works fine on 2.1, at least it did every time I tested it. It also works fine for most people on 2.0.x. This isn't a general issue with the lightsquid package, so there isn't really anything to "fix". It's some odd combination of installed packages/files and ordering and who knows what, but most people have no problems with it.

                                          I fixed it by uninstalling all packages that require pearl (the last one you uninstall will also uninstall pearl), then when I reinstalled squid and lightsquid which reinstalled pearl. All the cache and logs created by squid were still there, no data loss.
