            The path on squid.conf by default is /var/squid/logs/access.log.

                    Hai Guys,
                    I found why this error is happening. the sarg_reports.php is looking for the index.html file in sarg-reports/index.html, which is not there. Basically the default installation of sarg in Fedora and Centos is giving us a "report" directory format like the following. /var/www/html/reports/index.html.  This index.html is generated when using  "sarg -x " command ,which contains all the report details.

                    But in PfSense Sarg ,the  directory structure is little-bit different. I dont know why and how to solve this.If you are placing one index.html file in "/usr/local/www/sarg-reports/" ,the webconfigurator will show that "index.html" while taking "Status->sarg Reports-> View Reports".

                    The directory structure of Sarg in Pfsense is as this "sarg-reports/"year"/"month"/"date"/index.html"( Actual Sarg directory structure "sarg-reports/index.html" + lot of directory in "yyyy-mm-dd"). The configuration of this sarg_reports.php is given in sarg_frame.php,where the path of report file is given.

                    I am struck with this error ..Can any one give further tips in the topic….........!!!

                    Thanks
                    Pramod

                        linuxmaniac,

                        What options did you selected on sarg config page? did you created the schedules to run sarg?

                        I have reports working with these report options selected:

                        user graphics
                        remove temporary files
                        generate the main index
                        generate the index tree
                        overwrite report
                        use comma instead pint in reports
                        show de downloaded volume ond date/time reports

                        and all report to generate selected

                              Guys,

                              Those settings mentioned by marceloc are resolving index error ?
                              If yes how exactly can be changed ? (yes) (no) from report settings ?

                              Thanks !

                                Just select them using ctrl + click. The (yes) and (no) are there just to show you what values are default on sarg configuration.

                                    linuxmaniac,

                                    What options did you selected on sarg config page? did you created the schedules to run sarg?

                                    I have reports working with these report options selected:

                                    user graphics
                                    remove temporary files
                                    generate the main index
                                    generate the index tree
                                    overwrite report
                                    use comma instead pint in reports
                                    show de downloaded volume ond date/time reports

                                    and all report to generate selected

                                    Hi - I've followed this approach it seems to work.  However, I seem to get "gaps" in the report.  If I attempt to click on any of the day hyperlinks under the FILE/PERIOD column where there are '0' values under USERS, BYTES or AVERAGE, Sarg immediately returns:

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

                                    My schedule is set as follows (no Additional Args defined)

                                      it looks like your logs are not rotating

                                      try to use sarg args to limit report to one day and check the results.

                                      -d date +%d/%m/%Y-date +%d/%m/%Y

                                        marcelloc, it appears to have worked.  I actually modified my 1d Sarg schedule to include the arguement exactly as you've written it (and FORCED UPDATE NOW)

                                        Status Update Frequency Aditional Args Post Action Description
                                        on 1d -d date +%d/%m/%Y-date +%d/%m/%Y both Rotate Logs Restart Daemon

                                        After the update, the report output appears as follows.  The first line being the result of my forced update.

                                        Once it works, is there any way to clear out all of the old log data?

                                            sure, just delete report folder in /usr/local/sarg-reports
