          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.

          SARG: (repday) Cannot open log file /usr/local/sarg-reports/2015.05/0/d0.html
          

          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.

                            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.

                                    No, I mean the sarg.template file. Since whenever there is a change in the config(on the webconfig) it is overridden by the template.  So I changed the access log path.  Then I also tried creating a folder on a separate drive and symlinked to the default sarg-reports folder but it was a fail. Hope we can configure the path of the access log and same for where to store sarg reports.

                                      Hi marcelloc,

                                      i figured out that my sarg dont rotate access.log file. I got a 21GB logfile and wonder why my reports takes so long  ;D.

                                      Log: php: /pkg_edit.php: Sarg: force refresh now with -d date +%d/%m/%Y args, compress(on) and rotate action after sarg finish.

                                      But i saw only cache.log seams to be rotated.

                                      If i use the rotation settings on proxy server tab it works…..but then i have no sarg reports over long period ()eg. 30 days).

                                      Versions:

                                      PfSense 2.1.5 (i386)

                                      squid3 3.1.20 pkg 2.1.2
                                      squidguard 1.4_4 pkg v.1.9.6
                                      havp 0.91_1 pkg v1.05
                                      sarg 2.3.6_2 pkg v.0.6.3
                                      Lightsquid  1.8.2 pkg v.2.33

                                      thanks

                                      PS: maybe lightsquid prevent sarg from rotating...so i temporary disabled automatic reports in lightsquid.

                                        thanks for the feedback, I'll take a look on rotate call done by sarg.

                                        what pfsense version are you using?
