      Reinstall lightsquid, press save on the lightsquid settings, load the report, click the graph icon and make sure to force a refresh (shift+reload)

        Hello Jimp,

        Before I Uninstall lightsquid I want to make sure of the steps.

        make sure to force a refresh (shift+reload)

        shift is the shift key and reload is ?

          The reload button on your browser. Or use ctrl-F5.

            Thanks Jimp, I'm installing the new version of lightsquid which I didn't realize was there.

                I dont think it is necessary to press save on settings since the settings will be reread automatically when you reinstall the updated package. I did not do this.

                  Tried all fixes, Not working :(

                  LigthSquid diagnostic.
                  Error : report folder '/var/lightsquid/report' not contain any valid data! Please run lightparser.pl (and check 'report' folder content)
                  Please check config file !

                  I am new to Pfsense. Where does config files located?

                  Tried Reinstall. I had Squidguard. Removed it, Reinstalled lightsquid. no progression.

                    Do you actually have log data from squid?
                    Did you actually press "Refresh full" on lightsquid settings and wait?

                    If you followed the directions at https://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Lightsquid_Troubleshooting then you may not have an actual lightsquid problem, but a problem elsewhere leading it to not have data. Probably worth starting a fresh thread for.

                      sqstat works fine for me.

                      really?

                        Not sure about the error at the top, but when I tested it, clients with long, active downloads showed in the list just fine.

                          i can tell you about error at the top - sqstat.class.php

                          if ($connection) {
                                  # username field is avaible in Squid 2.6 stable
                                  if(substr($v,0,9)  == "username ")  $parsed["con"][$connection]["username"]  = substr($v, 9);
                                  if(substr($v,0,5)  == "peer:")      $parsed["con"][$connection]["peer"]      = substr($v, 6);

                          wtf is this "peer" line here, while squid returns "remote" instead?
                          this shit right here just CAN'T work on any version above 3.1 or so - you must replace it with

                          if(substr($v,0,7)  == "remote:")    $parsed["con"][$connection]["peer"]     = substr($v, 8);
                          

                          see?
                          but even then sqstat shows total BS - speed keep increasing constantly, etc.
                          so i really don't know, how is that possible

                          sqstat works fine for me.

                          :D
                          tested on fresh install of 2.2-RELEASE (amd64)  built on Thu Jan 22 14:03:54 CST 2015  FreeBSD 10.1-RELEASE-p4

                            and btw - there is more bugs in that php code

                            if(substr($v,0,3)=="me:") $parsed["con"][$connection]["me"]=substr($v,4);

                            probable need to be replaced with something like

                            if(substr($v,0,6)=="local:") $parsed["con"][$connection]["me"]=substr($v,7);
                            

                            tho i saw no difference after that.

                              I don't doubt there are more bugs, I haven't ever touched the code inside there (or even looked).

                              I was using squid 2.7.x with it, which may explain why it worked for me.

                                  Uninstalled lightsquid from 2.2
                                  I ran all the trouble shooting steps
                                  Reinstalled lightquid into 2.2
                                  clicked save on the settings page

                                  ran the "./check-setup.pl" from the /usr/local/www/lightsquid path.

                                  no: GD.PM found, please install or set $graphreport=0 to disable

                                  tried the "pkg_add" step, but it doesn't work on 2.2 –- how do you fix this?

                                  Thanks,

                                      There should be no need for that with the current package. The gd library is there and the package should be invoking ldconfig to nudge the system to find it without such hacks.

                                      Check to see if it's there at all:

                                      find / -name "*GD*.so"
