Problem configuring SARG + SQUID

how you install squid? from source? you need to specify sarge where is the file squid/access.log that is the error. if you install in /usr/local/squid you need to specify in sarge.conf or whatever conf file that the access.log is in /usr/local/squid/log/access.log

Right. you need to tell SARG where is the squid log file.
for Fedora squid install I guess it is at /var/log/squid/access.log

and sarg.conf can be at /etc/sarg/sarg.conf

mine has (I do not include most "standard" configs):
language English
access_log /usr/local/squid/var/logs/access.log
graphs yes
title "Internet User Access Reports"
output_dir /var/www/htdocs/squid-reports
resolve_ip yes
user_ip no
topuser_sort_field BYTES reverse
overwrite_report yes
use_comma yes
report_type topsites sites_users users_sites date_time denied auth_failures site_user_time_date

you can edit it to show what you want.  note the "output_dir" where all the sarg html reports will be saved. I put them at my apache html directory =)

Try to install your SARG from :-
http://dag.wieers.com/packages/sarg/

Choose the FC3, it should be compatible.

Then a minimum modification of the sarg.conf file. follow the instruction as above. Your SARG should be working very easily.
BTW, this rpm file will automatically creates CRON jobs. check out the /etc/cron.daily directory.

Actually, answering to redimido e pablo:
i already checked that, ....the conf file ACTUALLY point to the right location, access log, as i said, exist and it is in the position i told sarg to look for it...im start thinking its something "buggy"
Access.log file has even permission to read and write for everyone (to avoid maybe some user perm trouble..) but still it gives that incredibly strange error:

"sarg -l /var/log/squid/access.log
SARG: records in file 1950, reading 0.00%
sort: open failed: +6.5nr no such file or directory (i repeat it EXISTS !!!)
SARG: (index) cant open the file /var/www/sarg/index.sort
SARG: Records in file 1950, reading 100.00%"

SARG FAILED ! see above output for detail

"

i will try now kiitii solution installing this version of sarg above...

mmhh... and can SARG write to /var/www/sarg/index.sort?
do user and the permissions are setup correctly for the temporary index file? SARG needs to write some files itself to know what records are already processed...

actually there is NO index.sort file, i expected the program to create it on the fly, i put the /www/sarg directory in write to everyone (saying in win mode :) ) just to let i create its temp file...
hmmm...

I SOLVED IT !!


i have to create an "empty document" called index.sort and put into /var/www/sarg/ directory..
Now it WORKS LIKE A CHARM !!


quite strange nobody wrote it into the howto or readme files :) anyway i hope that this will help someone else in this task !!!
THANKS TO YOU ALL GUYS !!!
i.

But...the problem is that when i try to generate it again...if i dont put manually an index.sort file, it still doesnt work..CRAP :(

sorry:  "whoever"  should be "however"

Hi all

Does anyone know what the latest sarg version is and where to find it. I am having the same problem when generating reports, it fails. I am using sarg 2.1

Thanks

http://sarg.sourceforge.net/

2.1 is last version.
