      I have been trying to figure this out for a few weeks now and nothing i try is working.
      Re installed pfSense 2x and still no luck.

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

      Diagnostics: Execute command sarg -x

      $ sarg -x
SARG: Cannot set the locale LC_ALL to the environment variable

      2.1-RELEASE (i386)
      built on Wed Sep 11 18:16:22 EDT 2013
      FreeBSD 8.3-RELEASE-p11

      squid          2.7.9 pkg v.4.3.3
      squid3        3.1.20 pkg 2.0.6
      squidGuard 1.4_4 pkg v.1.9.5
      Sarg           2.3.6_2 pkg v.0.6.3

      How i fixed my problem

      i selected all the "Report Options" and all "Report to generate" options and forced update

            omg i got it to work.
            i selected all the "Report Options" and all "Report to generate" options and forced update :D
            i feel kinda dumb for not trying that sooner.
            thanks for the reply anyway ;)

              I have the exact same error as you. Unfortunately enabling all options and reports didn't help :(

              Is there any other solution?

              Forget it.. Silly me had not enabled Squid logging… major Derp

              However when I'm checking the logs I see asterisks instead of url/hostnames Is that normal? I disabled the privacy option.

                Maybe give some time to log more info. The past logs may only have the asterisks saved.

                  Will do. Thanks for the reply.

                  Now I need to find a tool that will report WAN usage (broken a bit like Sarg - hostname -> destination -> bandwidth used, frequency)
                  I got darkstat but it's a bit limited and does not show where users are going

                    I use bandwidthd just for bandwidth usage and Squid User Access Report to see detailed info.
                    If you find some thing better let me know :)
