      Ah .. make sure you have this file

      /etc/squidanalyzer/squidanalyzer.conf

      It should have this inside

      This file is the default configuration file for SquidAnalyzer

      Edit it to match your needs and copy it under /etc/squidanalyzer/squidanalyzer.conf

      Path where SquidAnalyzer should dump all HTML and images files.

      Choose a path that can  be read by a Web browser

      Output /usr/local/www/squidanalyzer

      The URL of the SquidAnalyzer javascript, HTML and images files.

      WebUrl /squidanalyzer

      Set the path to the Squid log file

      LogFile /var/squid/logs/access.log

      If you want to use DNS name instead of client Ip address as username enable

      this directive. When you don't have authentication, the username is set to

      the client ip address, this allow you to use the DNS name instead.

      Note that you must have a working DNS resolution and that it can really slow

      down the generation of reports.

      UseClientDNSName 1

      If you have enabled UseClientDNSName and have lot of ip addresses that do

      not resolve you may want to increase the DNS lookup timeout. By default

      SquidAnalyzer will stop to lookup a DNS name after 0.0001 second (100 ms).

      DNSLookupTimeout 0.001

      Set the file containing network alias name. Network are

      show as Ip addresses so if you want to display name instead

      create a file with this format :

      LOCATION_NAME IP_NETWORK_ADDRESS

      Separator must be a tabulation

      NetworkAlias /etc/squidanalyzer/network-aliases

      Set the file containing user alias name. If you don't have auth_proxy

      enable user are seen as Ip addresses, or if you want to replace login

      name by full user name, create a file with this format :

      FULL_USERNAME IP_ADDRESS || LOGIN_NAME

      Separator must be a tabulation

      UserAlias /etc/squidanalyzer/user-aliases

      How do we sort Network, User and Url report screen

      Value can be: bytes, hits or duration. Default is bytes.

      OrderNetwork bytes
      OrderUser bytes
      OrderUrl bytes

      How do we sort Mime types report screen

      Value can be: bytes or hits. Default is bytes.

      OrderMime bytes

      Should we display user URL details. This will show all URL read

      by user. Take care to have enougth space disk for large user.

      UrlReport 1

      Should we display user details. This will show statistics

      per user.

      UserReport 1

      Run in quiet mode or print debug information

      QuietMode 1

      Cost of the bandwith per Mb. If you want to generate invoice per Mb

      for bandwith traffic this can help you. Value 0 mean no cost.

      CostPrice 0

      Currency of the bandwith cost

      Currency €

      Top number of url to show

      TopNumber 100

      Path to the file containing client ip addresses, network ip address,

      and/or auth login to exclude from report

      Exclude /etc/squidanalyzer/excluded

      Path to the file containing client ip addresses, network ip address,

      and/or auth login to include into the report. Other entries will be

      excluded by default.

      Include /etc/squidanalyzer/included

      Translation Lang /etc/squidanalyzer/lang/en_US.txt,

      en_US.txt, ru_RU.txt, uk_UA.txt, cs_CZ.txt, pl_PL.txt and de_DE.txt).

      Default to:

      Lang /etc/squidanalyzer/lang/en_US.txt

      Date format used to display date (year = %y, month = %m and day = %d)

      You can also use %M to replace month by its 3 letters abbreviation.

      DateFormat %y-%m-%d

      Set this to 1 if you want to anonymize all user login. The username

      will be replaced by an unique id that change at each squid-analyzer

      run. Default disable.

      AnonymizeLogin 0

      Adds peer cache hit (CD_SIBLING_HIT) to be taken has local cache hit.

      Enabled by default, you must disabled it if you don't want to report

      peer cache hit onto your stats.

      SiblingHit 1

      Set the default unit for transfert size. Default is BYTES, other possible

      values are KB, MB and GB

      TransfertUnit BYTES

      Minimum percentage of data in pie's graphs to not be placed in the others item.

      MinPie 2

      Set this to your locale to display generated date in your language. Default

      is to use strftime. If you want date in German for example, set it to de_DE.

      For french, fr_FR should do the work.

      Locale en_US

      By default SquidAnalyzer is saving current collected statistics each time

      a new hour is found in log file. Most of the time this is enough but if

      you have huge log file and don't have enough memory this will slow down the

      parser by forcing Perl to use temporaries files. Use lower value following

      your memory and the size of your log file, on very huge log file with lot of

      requests/seconde a value of 30 minutes (1800) or less should help.

      WriteDelay 3600

      Use this directive to show the top N users that look at an URL or a domain.

      Set it to 0 to disable this feature.

      TopUrlUser 10

      This directive allow you to replace the SquidAnalyze logo by your custom

      logo. The default value is defined as follow:

      [#

      #]($self->{WebUrl}) SquidAnalyzer

      Feel free to define your own header but take care to not break current design.

      #CustomHeader My ISP Company

      This directive allow exclusion of some unwanted methods in report statistics

      like HEAD, POST, CONNECT, etc. Can be a comma separated list of methods.

      #ExcludedMethods HEAD

      This directive allow exclusion of some unwanted mimetypes in report statistics

      like text/html, text/plain, or more generally text/*, etc. Can be a comma separated

      list of perl regular expression.

      #ExcludedMimes text/.,image/.

      This directive allow exclusion of some unwanted codes in report statistics

      like TCP_DENIED/403 which are generated when a user accesses a page the first

      time without authentication. Can be a comma separated list of methods.

      #ExcludedCodes TCP_DENIED/403

      https://www.dropbox.com/s/vtf7loy2x9lnhl3/squidanalyzer.conf?dl=0

      download this file, run winscp and put in the folder on your firewall of
      /etc/squidanalyzer/

      This should of been created by unzipping the files from my original zip. Not sure why it failed there.  If file exists maybe permission?

        Alright re did your guide I put
        squidanalyzer.rar into /usr/local/www  then on putty rancd /usr/local/www then```
        tar -xzf squidanalyzer.rar

        
        Worked fine
        
        Then temp.rar  into /      In putty ran```
        cd /
        ```then```
        tar -xzf temp.rar
        

        and got this error```
        temp/squidanalyzer/.git/objects/pack/pack-ef251a8f0489dcdb37651a0598fe5e498ffee007.idx: Parsing filters is unsupported.

        
        then i exited it out to just run the command```
        tar -xzf temp.rar
        

        and got this error```
        tar: Error opening archive: Failed to open 'temp.rar'

          Allright so I bought myself a new comp so I had to format pfSense tried to add it again and no luck this time i added the directory

          to etc

          So when running the command

           cd /temp/squidanalyzer/ && perl squid-analyzer -r -c /etc/squidanalyzer/squidanalyzer.conf /var/squid/logs/access.log
          
          

          I would get

          ERROR: you must give a valid output directory. See option: Output
          

          But isn't the output directory the /var/squid/logs/access.log

          Thank you

            Yes, I also noticed that perl version is now gone from the repository.  I will have to find out what perl will work and not break a system.  As far as the zip file error I think it is bad copy.. I re installed my firewall just recently so I will put this squidanalyzer back in when I do I will update the install steps again to include the new perl and new files if needed

                Lightsquid hmm not really looked into what it uses to run.  Squidanalyzer is so much more indepth .. wish someone would make a package for it. I am not really that skilled to make yet. and not know the system well enough to know if I will break something till I try it.

                I may try tomorrow to get squid analyzer going again. if so I post what I did. I got a clean machine here as I reinstalled cause of too much modding to it got it messy..

                        Well I got it working again. I just copied the files in my tutorial into the /temp/squidanalyzer for the temp.rar (which I had to extract in windows then copy the files over to the directory.

                        Then the squidanalyzer.rar I copied into /usr/local/www/squidanalyzer

                        Perl was already version 1.6.2 in my

                          Oh I do need the /temp/squidanalyzer folder.. hmm finding which perl will work.

                          pkg install perl5-5.20.3_8

                          This seems to put the perl back and not break anything but can't get new data to come in with that

                          cd /temp/squidanalyzer/ && perl squid-analyzer -r -c /etc/squidanalyzer/squidanalyzer.conf /var/squid/logs/access.log /var/squid/logs/

                          I did have to put the files in /etc/squidanalyzer this is why some get missing config.

                                I know.  I will try learn how to make one.  I am pretty good at learning this stuff.  I did do programming in the past so not too much to learn I think. If I find the right tools. and maybe a video on how

                                  Is there no one who knows how to make packages willing to try to make this one?

                                  Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5430 @ 2.66GHz

                                  8 CPUs: 2 package(s) x 4 core(s)
                                  8152 MiB and 600meg 10k drive
                                  Pfsense 2.4 .. Hoping to get the phpvirtualbox going again.

                                    wish I had money for a bounty.  Someone has to be interested with the package for this. And have the skills to do.. maybe even someone with money for bounty to find the right person to do it.

                                      its been a while havent tried it until today still no luck :(

                                      First

                                      cd /temp/squidanalyzer/ && perl squid-analyzer -d -l /etc/squidanalyzer/squidanalyzer.conf /var/squid/logs/access.log /var/squid/logs/
                                      

                                      The issue with that the route /etc/squidanalyzer/squidanalyzer.conf it was not created or did i miss something?

                                      I would then unzip temp folder on windows and then place it in the  / directory (root) of pfSense

                                      then the squidanalyzer.rar unzip  it on a windows copy that folder to /usr/local/www/

                                      but had no luck im going to see if next week ill post a bounty

                                        I have done some work to make it the newest version 6.5 and works good.  I know now why some people have had some issues.. I really hope someone can make package. Let me know if I should zip up and make easy install for people

                                          Thank you to Topper and Cino for your input here.

                                          After a lot of reading this is what worked for me:

                                          1. Thousands of additional FreeBSD packages can be installed on pfSense as noted here: https://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Installing_FreeBSD_Packages

                                          2. In the Index of those FreeBSD packages at this link http://pkg.freebsd.org/freebsd:10:x86:64/latest/All/ you will find that SquidAnalyzer is available as "squidanalyzer-6.5.txz"

                                          3. In the shell enter "pkg add http://pkg.freebsd.org/freebsd:10:x86:64/latest/All/squidanalyzer-6.5.txz" (without quotes)

                                          4. You will receive a confirmation of the install. The squidanalyzer.conf file is in usr/local/etc/squidreport/

                                          5. Run the command manually once: cd /usr/local/bin/ && perl squid-analyzer

                                          6. Set this as a cron job to your desire frequency

                                          7. You should be able to access SquidAnalyzer at  x.x.x.x/squidreport

                                          It is cleaner to use pkg to install a FreeBSD package than to use WinSCP to copy and paste items from dropbox into your firewall installation.  ;)

                                            At step 5 I get this error:

                                            [2.3.3-RELEASE][admin@xxxx.lan]/usr/local/bin: cd /usr/local/bin/ && perl squid-analyzer -r -c /var/squid/logs/access.log

                                            Also, the output from the pkg install says:

                                            Message from squidanalyzer-6.5:
                                            -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                            1\. Modify your httpd.conf to allow access to HTML output like follow:
                                                    Alias /squidreport /usr/local/www/squidreport
                                                    <directory usr="" local="" www="" squidreport="">Options -Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
                                                        AllowOverride None
                                                        Order deny,allow
                                                        Deny from all
                                                        Allow from 127.0.0.1</directory> 
                                            2\. If necessary, give additional host access to SquidAnalyzer in httpd.conf.
                                               Restart and ensure that httpd is running.
                                            3\. Browse to http://my.host.dom/squidreport/ to ensure that things are working
                                               properly.
                                            4\. Setup a cronjob to run squid-analyzer daily:
                                            
                                                 # SquidAnalyzer log reporting daily
                                                 0 2 * * * /usr/local/bin/squid-analyzer > /dev/null 2>&1
                                            
                                            or run it manually.
                                            For more information, see /usr/local/share/doc/squidanalyzer/README file.
                                            

                                            Where is the httpd.conf file located?
