      Select overwrite reports too on sarg config and try to run it again.

      if you still get this 'could not remove' error, delete the folder using

      rm -rf /usr/local/sarg-reports/*

      before trying another report generation.

      A good tip is to use suggested filter on schedule to limit the report to one day only.

            try to remove sarg-reports dir and then save sarg config again

            rm -rf /usr/local/sarg-reports

            before saving sarg config again, check if it was deleted

            ls /usr/local/sarg-repors

            are you using nanobsd or full install?

              I am using a "Full Install", a whole pc totally dedicated at PFSense and nothing else running on it.
              After i insert the new code in Putty, there is no aknowledgement at all that something was deleted, nothing, however i can see that the folder is no longer there.
              The problem it's still there.
              I forced a new update, saved, re-forced, swapped a few things to see if it trigger something but nothing to do, it just recreated a new Sarg-Reports folder but it doesn't connect to the reports.
              The Real Time option it works fine.

                After removing folder, you need to apply settings(not force update now) to sarg recreate the folder.

                After creating the folder, run sarg on console and check if it returns erros.

                  Ok, just to make sure i am doing everything right, when you write "apply" the new settings, you just mean to click on "save", right?

                  Here is the result, it seems that Sarg it's still looking for something which is not there, also, everytime the new reports's folder is created, it also bring back to life the old reports's folder which starts from the 12 of April…

                    Maybe your report file is too large and sarg could not finish it's job.

                    Include the -d date +%d/%m/%Y-date +%d/%m/%Y arg to sarg schedule to force a one day report.

                      Well, i don't know, that string is exactly a copy of what is there now.
                      What i did try in between, is to re-install Sarg = didn't work.
                      Remove and re-install Sarg = didn't work.
                      Install all the other 2 packages (DansGuardian & SquidGuard) to see if it was just a compatibility problem with the one that is currently using(Squid) = didn't work.
                      So, in light of this, i think it is actually taking too much time and efforts from both of us, thank you so much anyway for trying to solve my problem, i am giving up  :-[

                        EOC2611P,

                        It maybe a missing detail, I have some sargs running on pfsense without issues.

                        att,

                          I just wanted to jump in and let people know if what my experience was;

                          I installed Sarg and had the same issue.

                          I tried all that was suggested in this thread and didn't find resolution.

                          What seemed to work for me (and quite possibly is not the best solution) was to remove the Sarg package, connect to pfSense with WinSCP, navigate to usr/local and delete the sarg-reports directory.

                          When I re installed the Sarg package, the reports worked fine.

                          Just my 2c.
