Want package for squidanalyzer. INSTRUCTIONS AND FILES TO INSTALL

[killmasta93]

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

[Topper727]

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

[killmasta93]

thanks hopefully it goes well :)

Also I had lightsquid before and umm…i think it broke it :( any way to fix perl again to get lightsquid working?

Thank you

[Topper727]

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..

[killmasta93]

Thanks man :) you made something really special  ;D appreciate your work

[foxnet8]

got this working on my virtualbox THANKS your the MAN! ;)

[killmasta93]

care to share?

[Topper727]

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
2.2.6-RELEASE (amd64)

Version

[Topper727]

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.

[Topper727]

ok got it!

this is command that worked

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

[maverick_slo]

Hmm if we only had a package :)

[Topper727]

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

[Topper727]

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

[Topper727]

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.

[killmasta93]

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

[Topper727]

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

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?

[doktornotor]

There is no httpd.conf anywhere, obviously. Apache is not part of pfSense install.

[AR15USR]

Well not obvious to a non developer home user like myself, but now I know. Thanks.

I'm a bit out of my league without a walk through on this one, so I will have to hope for a package as well..

If I run "pkg delete squidanalyzer-6.5.txz" will I break anything? (will that even work?)
