Weird problem on squid

inaki · 01-15-2010, 03:53 AM

Hi all,
I'm using squid version 2.7. The problem is when access.log is writing in new file for a new day, the access.log is written under "root" id, not "proxy" id. It caused the squid services not be running. I have to "chown" access.log to become "squid" id in order to run squid services.

What i saw here is new access.log is written by "root".

If anybody knows this problem, please share with me.

TQ

sounds like nothing to do with squid at all, but logrotate. Is that not what's creating the new log file? You could change the logrotate config to use nocreate to not create a blank log file, squid will probably create it itself OK, or use the create command explicitly to set the ownership of the new empty file... "create 640 squid squid" for example.

or send the logs into syslog and not to a file directly... http://eric.lubow.org/2007/system-ad...squid-logging/
