      SquidAnalyzer is in marcello's unofficial repo, whole lot better way to install than this manual messing.

      For 2.4, use

      
      fetch -q -o /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/Unofficial.conf https://raw.githubusercontent.com/marcelloc/Unofficial-pfSense-packages/master/Unofficial.24.conf

        Hmm.  The command succeeds without error but there is nothing in the Package Manager when you check it afterwards.

          You need to go to the installed packages tab (or otherwise trigger pkg update).

            Already did that and it didn't make any difference but it did give me a clue.  Shelling in and running pkg update manually gave this:

            pkg: Error parsing: '/usr/local/etc/pkg/repos//Unofficial.conf': error while parsing <unknown>: line: 7, column: 0 - 'key must begin with a letter', character: '<'</unknown>

            Edit:  OK, it appears that when you run

            fetch -q -o /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/Unofficial.conf https://github.com/marcelloc/Unofficial-pfSense-packages/blob/master/Unofficial.24.conf
            

            You are getting the HTML of that particular Github webpage and not the file contents.  My Unofficial.conf was stuffed with bogus HTML.

            When I visited the page and saw the actual 6 lines of code, I made my own config and it's now showing E2Guardian4 as expected.

                  Just about looking close enough to a real package to install now.. If I had knowledge on how I would make official.

                    Thank you everyone for showing me a more concise way. I appreciate the help. Glad to see package moving forward.

                      Followed the instructions here to fetch marcello's unofficial repo and installed squidanalyzer, which went fine. However, report isn't loading. Getting:

                      Error: Could not find report index file.
                      Check and save Squid Analyzer settings.

                      Edit: My settings:
                      Squid Log Analyzer > General Settings > Squid Log : /var/squid/logs/access.log
                      Services > Proxy Server > General > Enable Access Logging: Enabled
                      Services > Proxy Server > General > Log Store Directory: /var/squid/logs

                      Using Putty to SSH to shell, as Admin, I can access the /var/squid/logs and verify the log files are there. If I SSH as a User, I can't access the /var/squid directory. I assume all this has to do with permissions. I also assume the permissions are set this way for a reason.

                        Any suggestions about how to get the Squidanalyser reports to work?

                          after installing & enable squidanalyzer you do need to run /usr/local/bin/squid-analyzer manually

                          at least this worked for me…

                          Michael.

                                  @doktornotor mesmo instalando o repositório não oficial, e buscando o pacote, ele gera essa recomendações de conf mesmo:

                                  Após instalar o pacote temos a seguinte recomendação. Você consegue executar?

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

                                  Options -Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
                                  AllowOverride None
                                  Order deny,allow
                                  Deny from all
                                  Allow from 127.0.0.1

                                  1. If necessary, give additional host access to SquidAnalyzer in httpd.conf.
                                    Restart and ensure that httpd is running.
                                  2. Browse to http://my.host.dom/squidreport/ to ensure that things are working
                                    properly.
                                  3. 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.

                                  Cleaning up cache… done.
