      I have the same problem
      "Error: Could not find report index file.
      Check and save sarg settings and try to force sarg schedule."

      I can view the realtime with no problem though.

      It appears the reports are being generated but to:
      "/usr/pbi/sarg-amd64/local/sarg-reports"

      I checked the conf file and the report path is: /usr/local/sarg-reports
      Tried changing it to:"/usr/pbi/sarg-amd64/local/sarg-reports" but no difference.
      Tried creating symb link from "/usr/pbi/sarg-amd64/local/sarg-reports" to /usr/local/sarg-reports with the direction from another post in this thread and yes the reports were there but still the the same error message.

      I can see I am not the only one with this issue but I have not seen a real solution yet.  Is this a bug with squid3 dev or a problem with sarg?

      Do I need to manually put in some type of integration parameters as squidguard puts in for itself?

      Or if someone has the info on how to configure sarg to send the reports via email that would be good also.

            Try this from the shell:

            rm -r /usr/local/sarg-reports
            ln -s /usr/pbi/sarg-i386/local/sarg-reports /usr/local/sarg-reports

            Use ln -s /usr/pbi/sarg-amd64/local/sarg-reports /usr/local/sarg-reports if you have 64-bit build.

            This fix the problem… try it

              @namek:

              Hello, Is it possible to change the unit from bytes to something higher? like KB or MB?

              Sure. :)

              Just select Show values in reports using abbreviation on sarg general tab.

              Hello, I no longer see the Show values options in Sarg (pfSense 2.2.2, Sarg 0.6.4). I see nothing like that on the General tab.
              On the Users tab I can select User Sort Field: BYTES(default), SITE normal, CONNECT and TIME.
              I want to display Sarg reports in Megabytes instead of Bytes.
              Help anyone?

                  Hello all,

                  My sarg installation is in a bit of a mess. Rather than trying to fix what I think are multiple issues, I want to completely remove sarg including any logs and settings, and install it again from scratch.  I have tried an uninstall but this doesn't get rid of everything.  Any simple pointers on how to nuke sarg totally?
                  thanks!

                    I get the same sarg error

                    Error: Could not find report index file.
                    Check and save sarg settings and try to force sarg schedule.
                    

                    Has a fix been found yet?

                              Can anybody tell me if it would be possible to setup Sarg to email the the reports in a viewable format? Maybe some sort of a cron job could do this?

                                I received the following error message:

                                What could be the problem?

                                          Don't know what the correct way ist, but you should:

                                          
                                          rm -rf /usr/local/pkg/sarg*
                                          rm -rf /usr/local/www/sarg*
                                          
                                          

                                          Don't know exactly where the reports are stored so probably first search for them and then delete these folders.

                                          search:

                                          
                                          find / -iname "*sarg*"
                                          
                                          

                                          Then remove it with "rm -rf"

                                          Further install "cron" package and then delete all existing cronjobs which contain something with "sarg" in it.

                                          Delete the remaining "sarg" entries from your config. In my environment this is:

                                          
                                          vi /cf/conf/config.xml
                                          
                                          

                                          There I deleted the pars beginning/ending with:

                                          
                                          <sarg></sarg>
                                          <sarguser></sarguser>
                                          <sargschedule></sargschedule>
                                          <sargrealtime></sargrealtime>
                                          
                                          

                                          So after rebooting everything should be ok. Of courxe, please crwate a backup of the configu before you start deleting something.

                                          Regards.
