      Doing a quick search for Sarg and picking a result a little more current would have led you to this thread here with a solution.

        Funny that you refer to that thread, KOM.  I had actually read through that prior to posting.
        I had already tried creating the symlink on my system with no luck.  That's why I wanted to know if anyone actually has this working with 2.2…hoping that they would confirm whether or not any special steps needed to be taken to make it work.

          I have. I did only the symlink.

          Try to run sarg on console to see what erros do you get.

          If you install cron package, you can see how I call configured report schedule.

            Cannot set the locale LC_ALL to the environment variable

            I saw this on Solaris about 10 years ago.  I forget what the fix was.  Haven't seen it on 2.2 x64, and I've installed it many, many times.  As Mercello said, run sarg or sarg -x from the console and see what it says.

              @KOM:

              Cannot set the locale LC_ALL to the environment variable

              This is already applied to the package since pfSense 2.1 . Run an export before the sarg cmd.

               export LC_ALL=C && sarg...

                  looks like you have no logs on squid file

                  sarg -x also need the export LC_ALL=C &&

                    Not entirely following you by this suggestion.  But I think you are wanting the output of this from?
                    sarg -x export LC_ALL=C &&

                    If so, the output just shows the same command entered (this is from the GUI).  No error messages or anything else.

                    In looking at the log files in /var/squid/log, I noticed that all of the access.log files are EMPTY (0 byte files).  The cache logs look normal though.  Also, all the dates on the log files in that dir are current from the last few days.
                    I'm not sure how to proceed next though to troubleshoot this.  Seems to me that this may be the issue (or at least part of it).  Why are the access log files not accumulating data?

                    [EDIT] Might be on to something.  I forced an update in a schedule and then noticed that the .0 access log is accumulating. The View Report tab also now no longer gives me the error about the index file. 
                    So what I've done for a test is to disable the log rotation in the report settings.  Log rotation is already set for 30 days in the Squid setup.

                    Still seeing " Cannot set the locale LC_ALL to the environment variable" when I try to run sarg -x though.

                    Something else that might be helpful from my system.

                    Regarding that very last line of output, here's what in the 2015.05 directory:

                    # ls -la /usr/local/sarg-reports/2015.05
                    total 18
                    drwxr-xr-x  2 root  wheel   512 Feb  4 11:54 .
                    drwxr-xr-x  5 root  wheel   512 Feb  4 11:54 ..
                    -rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  4437 Feb  4 11:54 index.html
                    -rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel    22 Feb  4 11:54 sarg-date
                    -rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  1398 Feb  4 11:54 sarg-general
                    -rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel     2 Feb  4 11:54 sarg-users
                    -rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel   116 Feb  4 11:54 top
                    

                    So it's correct in that there's no "0" directory in which to find the d0.html file it's looking for.
                    A system wide search for this file DOES show that a copy exist here though.
                    /usr/pbi/sarg-i386/local/sarg-reports/2015.01.1/0/d0.html

                    And lastly, the Realtime logging appears to be working correctly.

                          OK, making progress.  Sarg seems to be one of the more fragile packages.  If you happen to select the wrong report options or report to generate, it won't work.  Here is what I use and it seems to work OK:

                            KOM: That's pretty odd that something like the chosen report selection is causing this…but that was issue!  :o
                            Is this a bug or is this something that is out of Sarg's control?

                            BTW: Thank you both, KOM and marcelloc!!

                              Probably a bug in the pfSense Sarg package.  Sarg is currently at 2.3.9 while the pfSense package is 2.3.6 so it's 1.5 years older, and as far as I know it's always acted funky like that.  Pick the wrong report and the whole thing falls over.

                              Glad to hear you got it working.

                                looks like its using 2.3.9 on 2.2

                                https://github.com/pfsense/pfsense-packages/blob/master/pkg_config.10.xml

                                <depends_on_package_pbi>sarg-2.3.9-##ARCH##.pbi</depends_on_package_pbi>

                                I haven't downloaded the package myself yet on 2.2

                                  I must have been looking at my 2.1.5 box.

                                    The only manual fix I had to do on my 2.2 labs was the manual symlink to fix pbi mess.

                                      OK, making progress.  Sarg seems to be one of the more fragile packages.  If you happen to select the wrong report options or report to generate, it won't work.  Here is what I use and it seems to work OK:

                                      Hi, I can't get Sarg to produce any report, not even with these settings. Any idea ?
                                      Realtime works fine thought

                                      I got one Report in the list, which is broken, from last year when I tried it once. How can I delete this report and strat over new ?

                                        Did you tried to remove old reports via console/ssh ?

                                          I've been digging sarg codes these past days. I tried hacking the template which overrides any changes on the sarg.conf file.  I hope we can point the directory of squid rather than have it fixed directory

                                            Do you mean /usr/local/sarg-reports ?

                                            Sarg package needs this to "jail" report access permissions on pfsense gui.
