Hello,

I am using Squid 2.5 on Sles10sp3 and the following command works great to change the squid access log format into human readable form.

emulate_httpd_log on

We also are running Squid 2.7 on Sles11sp1 and I tried that same command in the squid.conf file and it does not seem to convert the date into human readable form like on the Sles10sp3 server. Is this because the version of squid is different or am I missing something? I made that change to the sles10sp3 servers a long time ago and might have forgotten that there is another part to this in order to get the date into human readable form but I just cannot remember what it is if indeed I did something else besides that command.

Any ideas ?

Thanks
Scott

Hi,

The "emulate_httpd_log" is a valid squid-2.7 directive, so I guess there is something else wrong with your config. You should post squid.conf so we can take a closer look

I would think so too since it worked in squid 2.5. Here is the squid.conf. It has been trimmed down by another person no longer in our department so we might be missing something.

#### End conf

I tried moving the directive after access_log directive but got the same results. The conf files on my Slesp10sp3 servers are full/default conf file just edit accordingly for our needs but it has all of the comments and other directives that are either remmed out or are active. Very long and cumbersome but it must have everything that is needed.

Do you see or not see anything?

Hi,
You need to remove the keyword "squid" from the end of the access_log directive, so the above becomes:

That was it. Did not see that. Thanks

Scott.
