Hi Marcello,

I logged into the pfsence box last week (the 15th) before heading out on vacation (how bad is that? not in the best practices guide anyway…) and noticed there was an update for SARG. I applied it.

I logged in again today to generate a SARG report on a site. I noticed SARG hasn't worked since the upgrade. Seems 'topuser_sort_field' is causing it some grief, (wondering if that was the modification you did when I suggested it as a feature add upon your release of the package...)..

has anyone else had this issue and/or is there anything you would like to see? I'll hold off on a re-install or touching anything till i hear back from you.

take care,
greg

I noticed in the config file NORMAL isn't listed as an argument, just like the error said.

what do you think?

TAG: topuser_sort_field field normal/reverse

# Sort field for the Topuser Report.
# Allowed fields: USER CONNECT BYTES TIME

topuser_sort_field NORMAL

marcelloc

Did you tried to change user sort field on sarg gui?

yes, doing that seemed to fix it.

after last update…
squid logs are in /var/squid/logs/access.log' not "/var/log/squid/access.log""
how to fix???

system logs:
php: /pkg_edit.php: The command '/usr/local/bin/sarg ' returned exit code '1', the output was 'SARG: File not found: /var/log/squid/access.log'

me too the same error at system logs. The squid proxy also got error the line 1378 or 1387 (I am not sure which file name "Squid.conf" or "Squid.inf") after I made config at "General tab", when I click the save button.
SARG also no real time report at all.

marcelloc

Donny, did you tried to save config after package update?

the code has the correct folder but maybe the default config file of sarg 2.3.2 has /var/log/squid/access.log

$sarg_proxy=array(	'squid_rc'=>'/usr/local/etc/rc.d/squid.sh',
					'squid_config'=>'/var/squid/logs/access.log',
					'squidguard_config'=>'/usr/local/etc/squidGuard/squidGuard.conf',
					'squidguard_block_log'=>'/var/squidGuard/log/block.log',
					'dansguardian_config'=>'/usr/local/etc/dansguardian/dansguardian.conf',
					'dansguardian_log'=>'/var/log/dansguardian/access.log');

Hallo Marcelloc

First, I have clean install Squid3 and configured, then I click save and I got squid proxy error fatal the line 1378 or 1387 (I am not sure which number) on Chrome web browser and I also not sure which file name "Squid.conf" or "Squid_reverse.inf")
Second, I have clean install SARG last version and configured in General tab, User tab and Schedule tab, then save. When I click update button at Real time report, no real time report appear at all.
I also try to reboot pfsense many time after config Squid3 and SARG but the Real time report still not appear.
Anyway I will try to clean install pfSense and Squid3 and SARG again later.

Thank you
Donny

Try sarg just after you get squid up and running.

I'll check this squid3 first run error as soon as possible.

Hello Marcelloc

Hello Marcelloc

I just clean install pfSense and basic configured. After that I have installed Squid3 last version.
In the Squid "general tab" I just only use some default setting. I enable "Enable logging and log rotate" and also changed the language to "en". So I click save.

I got fatal error on Chrome web browser like this:

"Fatal error: Cannot use string offset as an array in /usr/local/pkg/squid.inc on line 1378"

and at this point I enter Chrome web browser again I got: "Error: No packege defined".

then I enter pfSense Lan IP and went back to Squid general tab but not things save (Enable logging and log rotate and language "en"). I saw on dashboard that Squid is not running and then
I tried to configure squid on general tab again and the click save but at this time I don't get any fatal error.

I also checked at system log file and I saw some error like this:

php: /pkg_edit.php: The command '/usr/local/sbin/squid -k kill' returned exit code '1', the output was 'squid: ERROR: No running copy'

So you can see my screenshot.
I did not install SARG yet. Just only clean install pfsense and squid3

Thank u

Donny

Donny,

I've pushed a fix to this issue with no version change, on my tests it's working fine now.

wait 15 minutes, reinstall the package and try to configure it again.

Hello Marcello,

I just tried it and I got the same fatal error and the same result that I explain before.

This is second time to clean install pfSense and Squid. I did not try to reinstall squid package because I want to be sure that squid work without error.

Now in Holland is almost 1 AM in the morning, I am going to bed now.

I'll try to reproduce this error.

Try to refresh the page with f5 and save again.

Hi marcelloc

I don't want erase the file /var/squidGuard/log/block.log, could u help me?

@klamath:

try to split this log or use sarg args to limit log search.

@klamath:

Hour string too long in redirector log file /var/squidGuard/log/block.log SARG: Records in file: 27976, reading: 100.00%'

I understand this error as some format error on log file/line not a too many records errors.

klamath

Thanks!

I've set the User_report_limit to 300 and rotate squidguard block log…

It's work for a while... than stopped sudenly again!
