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.

Ok, I will try after 30 minutes.

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

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

looks like sarg can't handle large entries on file /var/squidGuard/log/block.log

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

php: /pkg_edit.php: The command '/usr/local/bin/sarg ' returned exit code '1', the output was 'SARG: Records in file: 27976, reading: 0.00%^MSARG: Records in file: 5000, reading: 17.87%^MSARG: Records in file: 10000, reading: 35.74%^MSARG: Records in file: 15000, reading: 53.62%^MSARG: Records in file: 20000, reading: 71.49%^MSARG: Records in file: 25000, reading: 89.36%^MSARG: Hour string too long in redirector log file /var/squidGuard/log/block.log SARG: Records in file: 27976, reading: 100.00%'

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.

Is Sarg currently broken?

I am running Sarg on Squid2 logs, kept the default Report Options, selected all entries in Report to generate, and set up an hourly schedule.

After forcing the update, the View Report gives me:

Error: Could not find report index file.
Check and save sarg settings and try to force sarg schedule.

{$dir}/{$url} in sarg_frame-php contains /usr/local/sarg-reports/index.html, which does not exist, but report files have been generated under /usr/local/sarg-reports/2012/07/26 which mirrors today's date.

Any suggestions what to do?

@Fesoj:

No, I have 6 working with latest version

Did you selected "Generate the main index.html" option on gui?

I've attached a screenshot with my current setup.

Did you selected "Generate the main index.html" option on gui?

No, I didn't. Now that I did it, it is working.

Thanx.

Can somebody explain if I need to set up log rotation in the schedule or not? And how this works?

I have it set to default ( do nothing) in SAR and have my squid settings set to 186 days log rotation (aprox 6 months).

Do I need to use the log rotation of SARG as wel? What does it do exactly? Clean up my old logs?

marcelloc

@AudiAddict:

No, just one log rotate is fine.

@AudiAddict:

Rotate logs and keep last 10 rotated files.(access.log.0 access.log.1 access.log.2…)

Thanks for your reply.

Does it mean that it reads through the whole file everytime? So If I have it set to rotate in squid settings every 6 months will this cause it to be slow at generating the report?

Yes, you can use date arg in schedules, but sarg will read all file the same way looking for logs on that date range.

AudiAddict

If I change the rotation to 1 month in squid settings? Will it "save" my old logs in SARG? So I can view the internet logs older than one month?

So.. if I set squid to rotate every 30 days, does SARG delete the old data? Or does it display the old logs (from the last months) even though they have been rotated? (renamed?)

no

AudiAddict

Maybe a language barrier here.. but do you mean yes I can still view the older internet proxy logs (older than 30 days) in SARG even though I set it to rotate every 30 days in Squid?

@AudiAddict:

yes, you can. Sarg create html static reports on /usr/local/sarg-reports.

If you delete your squid logs, reports will be there.
if you run sarg after rotating logs, old reports will not be deleted.

Hi.

I am struggling to get Sarg to work for me with Squid.

I initially created some reports, and they showed many users, everything seemed fine.

Now, if I click to create logs on the schedule (force), using a wide date range, I get just one user in the report? I know there is more activity than that!

I tried to delete sarg (and used file manager to delete sarg folders I could see), reinstalled (it seemed to still remember my settings), but now I just get:

Error: Could not find report index file.
Check and save sarg settings and try to force sarg schedule.

when I try to view reports (after trying to force them again). There are loads of log files in the squid log folder.

I set the schedule to 1d, rotate and restart, but it never seemed to create a report when I looked, only when I forced it?

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks :)
