        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?

                            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:

                                    1\. Modify your httpd.conf to allow access to HTML output like follow:
                                            Alias /squidreport /usr/local/www/squidreport

                                    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?

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

                                        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?)

                                          @AR15USR:

                                          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
                                          

                                          AR15USR no need to uninstall the package, you are almost there. I failed to mention in my install notes that there is no httpd.conf. Instead there is squidanalyzer.conf and it is asking for a valid output directory. This file is located in

                                          /usr/local/etc/squidreport/

                                          You can edit squidanalyzer.conf by navigating to Diagnostics>Edit File>Browse and browse to that location. Or you can paste /usr/local/etc/squidreport/ into the "Path to be edited" bar and choose "Browse." Either way will get to the folder you need to be in to see squidanalyzer.conf

                                          You can find your default Log Store Directory settings under Services>Squid Proxy Server>General. That log file location needs to be entered into the squidanalyzer.conf file. It is likely the default directory /var/squid/logs/access.log  See below the section of the .conf file you will need to edit.

                                          
                                          # Set the path to the Squid, squidGuard and/or ufdbGuard log files
                                          LogFile	/var/squid/logs/access.log
                                          
                                          

                                          Once you edit the .conf file, run this command again:  cd /usr/local/bin/ && perl squid-analyzer

                                          Then navigate to x.x.x.x/squidreport and enjoy.

                                          Let us know how it goes.

                                            Thanks for the help Presbuteros. I got the squidanalyzer.conf file edited and ran the command. It took a while to finish but it did so with no error.

                                            When I pointed my browser to http://192.168.1.1/squidreport I get "403 Forbidden nginx".

                                            EDIT: It works if I go to http://192.168.1.1/squidreport/2017/
                                            I browsed the /squidreport folder and there is no .html file in there:

                                            /usr/local/www/squidreport
                                              ..
                                              2016
                                              2017
                                              images
                                              SquidAnalyzer.current
                                              flotr2.js
                                              sorttable.js
                                              squidanalyzer.css
                                            

                                            2.6.0-RELEASE
