How to SARG on Centos | Fedora | RedHat

Download sarg from below url:  http://sarg.sourceforge.net/sarg.php

I have downloaded below one and installing from source:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/sarg/files/sarg/sarg-2.3.1/sarg-2.3.1.tar.gz/download

[root@linuxbox opt]# tar -zxvf sarg-2.3.1.tar.gz
[root@linuxbox opt]# cd sarg-2.3.1/
[root@linuxbox sarg-2.3.1]# ./configure
[root@linuxbox sarg-2.3.1]# make
[root@linuxbox sarg-2.3.1]# make install

Main sarg configuration file: /usr/local/etc/sarg.conf

[root@linuxbox ~]# vim /usr/local/etc/sarg.conf
# This is sample configuration, that you need to setup

access_log /var/log/squid/access.log
graphs yes
graph_days_bytes_bar_color orange
title “Squid User Access Reports”
temporary_dir /tmp
output_dir /var/www/html/reports/

[root@linuxbox ~]# vi /etc/httpd/conf.d/sarg.conf

Alias /sarg /var/www/html/reports/daily

<Directory /var/www/html/reports/daily>
DirectoryIndex index.html
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
# add IP address you allow
Allow from 192.168.0.2
</Directory>

Now create a script to create daily statistics.

[root@linuxbox ~]# vim sarglog.sh

#!/bin/bash

#Get current date
TODAY=$(date +%d/%m/%Y)

#Get one week ago today
YESTERDAY=$(date –date “1 day ago” +%d/%m/%Y)

/usr/local/bin/sarg -l /var/log/squid/access.log -o /var/www/html/reports/daily -z -d $YESTERDAY-$TODAY

exit 0

# run at 1:00 AM every day

[root@linuxbox ~]# crontab -e

00 01 * * * /root/sarglog.sh

# Now you can access your squid reports and it will show like below :-

http://192.168.0.1/sarg/

    Dear Piyush,
    I have configured Transparent squid Proxy Server on my firewall. Now I have installed SARG. But when I start apache its giving error as port in use(80). So I changed the port to 8080.
    Apache started well. But I can’t access SARG from web browser. So Please Guide me.

    Waiting for response.

    Thanks
    Kuldeep
