      I don't want to fight with you because I know you're a good guy and the team is under pressure right now.  I understand as I work for a software company and I am deeply involved in the development process here.  I want the pfSense  project to be seen in the best possible light because I actually care about it.  It's strange to be emotionally invested in the success of a software project, but it is what it is.  In that light, I feel personally embarrassed when new users try to get these very popular and common packages running, only to be frustrated because they don't seem to work.  That was the source of my Fix it or remove it comment.  If it doesn't work, it should be removed so as to not tarnish the project's image.  What is the point of having a broken package in the list, after all?  That is all I am trying to say.

        Ok, never mind.

        BTW,  I'm not from pfsense team.  Just a community user like many others…

          Oh, I had no idea.  I thought you were an employee of ESF.  My mistake.

            hello guys,

            By removing the /usr/local/sarg-reports folder and creating a symlink to /usr/pbi/amd-64/local/sarg-reports, it worked for me…

            Report options:
            graphics where possible
            remove temp files
            generate  main index
            generate index tree
            overwrite report
            show downloaded volume

            Reports to generate
            all selected

            versions
            Sarg : 2.3.9 v 0.6.4
            Squid : 3.4.10_2 0.2.6
            squidguard-suid3 : 1.4_7 v 1.9.6

              This works for 2.2:

              rm -r /usr/local/sarg-reports
              ln -s /usr/pbi/sarg-amd64/local/sarg-reports /usr/local/sarg-reports

                Simple solution, it really is. Run pfSense in one Virtural Machine and run Squid 3.5.1 (Squid is developed on FreeBSD) on another VM in a different subnet. Use wpad.dat/proxy.pac to seamlessly integrate the two.  Sarg works really well this way installed from packages. AND you will learn a lot doing it.

                And it just works better this way.

                  On freebsd ports, squid is still on 3.4

                  When it gets updated to 3.5 I'll update pfsense package.

                    I never understood why Squid lags behind on FreeBSD ports. The official repository states that Squid is developed on FreeBSD and the generic compile instructions are for FreeBSD.

                    http://wiki.squid-cache.org/SquidFaq/CompilingSquid

                    Since I run pfSense on ESXi, it makes it very easy to just fire up a minimal VM and build Squid from source. It seems to me to be a cleaner setup this way and I have far less problems with adding utility to Squid when I need it. Sarg works great and has full functionality. As it is, I have less the $200.00us in my ESXi pfSense/Squid setup.

                    I'm only stating this as an option. I am not taking away from the fine pfSense Squid package.

                      Seems a loop process. If Amos release a version and update it on ports, would be easier.

                      Thanks for the suggestion.
