Squid Logging Issue

cmfarley19 · 07-16-2008, 12:26 PM

I have set up a new server at home running Kubuntu 7.10. All is well, in general.
I went to view my squid logs today. When I did an ls -a of the directory, this is what I got:

Code:

cmfarley@wombat2:~$ ll /var/log/squid/
total 0
?--------- ? ? ? ?                ? /var/log/squid/access.log
?--------- ? ? ? ?                ? /var/log/squid/cache.log
?--------- ? ? ? ?                ? /var/log/squid/store.log
cmfarley@wombat2:~$

I have never seen a listing like this before. I don't even know where to begin to troubleshoot this.

Any thoughts?

You have read permissions on the directory (/var/log/squid), but not execute permissions on that directory. Read permissions will only give you access to the filenames, you need execute permissions to see the file size and file permissions.

Hope that helps,
