@ponce, according to the below, he had a previous version of sarg (2.0.5) installed to /usr/local, which was a package that he downloaded from somewhere. I had him remove that package and then rebuild sarg 2.3.9.
3.
root@server:/# find /usr -type d -iname 'sarg*'
Code:
/usr/local/share/sarg
/usr/doc/sarg-2.0.5
4.
root@server:/# ls -l /var/log/packages/sarg*
Code:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 680 Dec 19 14:14 /var/log/packages/sarg-2.0.5-i486-1jm
I think it will be heplfull...
@cent4, maybe you could force a reinstall of slackware through slackpkg. You would need to go into /etc/slackpkg/mirrors and uncomment one mirror (only one) for your version and arch (so you would uncomment a mirror for Slackware64 13.37). It doesn't really matter what mirror, as long as it works. I haven't used slackpkg much, but from what I gathered, this should work to replace any messed up packages (it'll actually reinstall every single package on the system).
Code:
init 3 #This brings us to a basic command prompt to prevent issues with reinstalling packages if they're being used
slackpkg update gpg
slackpkg update
slackpkg reinstall slackware64
This mean I must reinstal my slackware?
I wouldn't do that...
reinstall slackware64 will reinstal my linux?
I'm afraid to do this.
Is there any other option?
it's understandable that you don't feel like touching a production machine you inherited and with an operating system you don't have confidence with, but you should also avoid administering a production machine basing just on the suggestions you get on web forums: if you do any damage on the box you and who put you in charge of the box are the only responsible ones of it.
so, my suggestion, is to do practice with a fresh install you will do on another machine where you will build sarg and whatever other tool you need.
Reinstalling all the packages is different than wiping and reinstalling Linux. This *should* keep everything intact and not remove any data or conf files, so when it's done, it should just reboot and work like before, if not better. However, if you did inherit this production machine from someone else, who knows what all they did. They may have upgraded or downgraded various packages to allow 3rd-party software to run. If you restore all the packages back to stock, it could break 3rd-party programs, some of which may be necessary.
A quick google search of squid analyzer came up with http://squidanalyzer.darold.net/ as the primary result (google even asked if I meant "squidanalyzer" instead of "squid analyzer"). My third result was http://www.squid-cache.org/Misc/log-analysis.html, which gives you a huge list of various programs that somehow interact with squid. There's likely something there that will do what you need it to.
It just means it was tested to work with 14.1. It may still work with 13.37. You'd just have to try it. If it compiles fine and doesn't require the same libpng libraries that sarg does, it should work.
