I have just done an upgrade, trying to fix an issue.. upgraded from 2.0.1 i386 to 2.0.1 amd64.

now my lightsquid is is just showing a 500 - Internal server error when i try and see the logs.  Any idea how i can fix this?  i really need these back.

did you do a upgrade or a full install? You shouldn't upgrade from i386 to amd64... a full-install is the same to go

[luke240778]

I did an update.. as everyone in another thread said to go the update path.

Either way, i also build another virtual of pfsense from scratch, and installed the config from my other box, same go.. 500 - Internal server error

I did an update.. as everyone in another thread said to go the update path.

If you search, you will find a ton of posts that upgrading from i386 to amd64 is a bad idea.

do you have logging enabled on squid? make sure the path for the log file is '/var/squid/log'  then do a refresh full within lightsquid

[luke240778]

Yeah thanks.  Maybe a bad idea but it had to be done.  I am seeing my problem is that the squid service is not starting.  If i remove and reinstall this will the logs, cache and all that still be there form before the re-install?

[luke240778]

From reading a few other posts on the net.. and already reinstalling squid and lightsquid and still getting this error, it seems it could be perl related?

if i run: pkg_info -lx perl

It tells me perl is not installed... so how do i get perl installed?  I cant see it in the packages list, and i dont know how to install packages via command line

[Cino]

pkg_add -r http://files.pfsense.org/packages/8/All/perl-5.12.3.tbz

that should do it. hmm, what packages to you have installed btw? is lightsquid there? because perl should had installed when lightsquid was being installed

[luke240778]

how do i check what packages are installed? I mean, in the GUI it shows Lightsquid as being installed..

[Cino]

pkg_info will should all the freebsd packages that are installed... the gui shows the pfsense package but there are usually dependencys that are required... in this case perl is needed for lightsquid to function

[luke240778]

Ok strange.. when i run just pkg_info it says perl is installed... but when i run pkg_info -lx perl it says its not installed.. here is what pkg_info shows:

Any ideas?  I have reinstalled squid and lightsquid and apparently perl is installed.. still not working

From the output of the command "pkg_info", you can see that you have three version of perl installed.

Type the command:

perl -v

Check the following directories for any perl symlinks:

  /usr/bin
  /usr/local/bin
 
Delete any that you find, then:

# cd /usr/bin
# ln -s /usr/local/bin/perl /usr/bin/perl
# ls -ltr | grep -i perl
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel       19 Sep 11 23:02 perl -> /usr/local/bin/perl
# perl -v

That is how I solved the Error 500 message.

Thanks for this help, when i run: perl -v i getthe following

This is perl 5, version 12, subversion 4 (v5.12.4) built for i386-freebsd-64int

Maybe this is a problem as i have 64bit pfSense.. and i386 perl?

Sorry to be a noob but i don't know what is a symlink.. in /usr/bin the only reference i see to perl is this:

perl -> /usr/local/bin/perl

Is that a symlink and therefore i need to delete it?

In /usr/local/bin/i have the following for perl:

perl
perl-after-upgrade
perl5.12.3
perl5.12.4
perlbug
perlivp
perlthanks

Are they symlinks?  need to remove anything?

I will wait for your reply to this before running the commands that you mentioned to do after deleting symlinks

[luke240778]

Someone able to help here?

Is having that i386 version of perl a problem?  I still can't get these lightsquid logs working.

I don't know how to install via command line, is there somehow i can install the 64bit version of perl?

[luke240778]

is anyone else who is running lightsquid on 64bit pfsense able to do me a perl -v and tell me if their perl still says i386 or not?
