Hi,

I'm still trying to get Squid running and notice that folders are owned by root.
I do know how to change ownership, but who should own them for Squid to run properly?
Should it be proxy or squid ownership?
And if it is proxy, who or what has that authority?
Still confused.

Thanks

the only thing would be that the owner of the files would be the same owner as is trying to run the squid process itself. if squid is running in a substandard way, then check the outut of "ps awux" for the owner of squid. if it's not running at all, then the command which fires up squid would be the one that gives it an owner, e.g. the sysvinit script in /etc/init.d if you have one. note that if you installed this from RPM, the permissions will be correct... daemons only generally need read access, not write, so it's the mask on the files that matters, not who owns them.

Okay,
So use chmod 777 or 755 would allow me to run program?

Thanks
