      pkg_info will should all the freebsd packages that are installed… the gui shows the pfsense package but there are usually dependencys that are required... in this case perl is needed for lightsquid to function

            From the output of the command "pkg_info", you can see that you have three version of perl installed.

            Type the command:

            perl -v

            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

            perl -v

            That is how I solved the Error 500 message.

              Thanks for this help, when i run: perl -v i getthe following

              This is perl 5, version 12, subversion 4 (v5.12.4) built for i386-freebsd-64int

              Maybe this is a problem as i have 64bit pfSense.. and i386 perl?

              Sorry to be a noob but i don't know what is a symlink.. in /usr/bin the only reference i see to perl is this:

              perl -> /usr/local/bin/perl

              Is that a symlink and therefore i need to delete it?

              In /usr/local/bin/i have the following for perl:

              perl
              perl-after-upgrade
              perl5.12.3
              perl5.12.4
              perlbug
              perlivp
              perlthanks

              Are they symlinks?  need to remove anything?

              I will wait for your reply to this before running the commands that you mentioned to do after deleting symlinks

                Someone able to help here?

                Is having that i386 version of perl a problem?  I still can't get these lightsquid logs working.

                I don't know how to install via command line, is there somehow i can install the 64bit version of perl?

                        Hit it with a sledgehammer.

                        Or, uninstall lightsquid and squid/squidguard, then from the shell:

                        pkg_delete -f squid*
                        pkg_delete -f perl*

                        Then reinstall squid, then reinstall lightsquid.

                          Sorry to dig up this old thread, but this happened to me recently, TWICE.

                          And the fix for me was to go inside lightsquid config and change the squid log directory to var/squid/log. The default on install tell lightsquid to search on var/squid/logs
