      Hi marcelloc,

      Great package. But how to manually delete the sarg reports?
      My pfsense got problem with full hard disk error and the largest directory is from the sarg reports.
      I forgot to use the rotate logs before.

      Just delete reports on /usr/local/www/sarg-reports using rm on console/ssh.

              You have permission problems on your install, clean up(not remove) /usr/local/www/sarg-reports and try to run again.

                Hi Marcelloc

                What do you mean by clean ? rm -rf ?

                  could be a rm -rf /usr/local/www/sarg-reports/*

                  Please be carefull with rm.

                      Check options you selected on sarg gui and try again.

                        Hi there,

                        I think I found two minor bugs with the sarg configuration:

                        When configuring exclude strings, the resulting configuration entry looks like this:

                        exclude_string"testasd'              # note the missing space and the wrong quote character at the end

                        Also, when setting exclude_codes, these are written to the correct configuration file (exclude_codes.conf), but in sarg.conf "exclude_code" (without the .conf", probably the default) is referenced.

                        Another side note / question:

                        I'm combining squid and squidGuard. This works quite good so far. My squidGuard config defines several ACLs. After generating some sample reports I noticed that blocked URLs are not marked as blocked in the Squid log file. At least not in the same way when "Plain Squid" would be blocking them. This throws Sarg off, and blocked URLs are included in the list of visited websites without a special marker that these were blocked / redirected.

                        Is there any way around that? I tried to remove these entries with exclude_strings or exclude_codes (to remove all 403 redirects) - which did not work because of the mentioned bugs. But aside from these options, is there any other way?

                        Thanks for the good work on the package btw!

                        Manuel

                          der.tale,

                          Thanks for your feedback. I've pushed version 0.4.2_1 with these fixes.

                          check if you can use exclude codes and exclude_string now.

                          att,

                            I have tried to enable and disable options in GUI, tried as well schedule forced.
                            Unfortunately still no go.Error is the same.

                                          The menu is there, I have no idea what is happening with your system.

                                          did you tried to uninstall and then install?

                                          if you want, the url /pkg_edit.php?xml=sarg.xml

                                            the first thing I did is an upgrade.
                                            When it failed, i tried to do a reinstall - no web menu
                                            Then I did another upgrade - no web menu
                                            Reboot - no webmenu
                                            Uninstall and reinstall - no webmenu
                                            Reboot - no webmenu

                                            I will try to reinstall with no LAN clients connected.

                                            Edit…
                                            After nth time of reinstallation, the menu just popped out. what a relief.
