I'm trying to get a Squid running (I know how to secure the damned thing - it's just insecure in general of course  ) ...
Yet when I try to run it as root, it gives me this message (running squid -N):
| Squid wrote: |
FATAL: Cannot open '/var/log/squid/access.log' for writing.
The parent directory must be writeable by the user 'squid' which is the cache_effective_user
set in squid.conf |
... but the logs are there, and world-writable (very stupid, but it's only going to bind to my internal network anyway, and only one other computer is on that "network", and the people who use it aren't smart enough to do this  )
Rather odd problem... anyone have any fixes?
[edit type="addition"]Thanks in advance... can't believe I forgot to put that before.[/edit]
[edit type="modification"]... the quote command is anal.[/edit] |

And all parent directories are accessible by Squid (have the x flags set)? It might even need write permissions to /var/log/squid (not only the logs themselves) to rotate logs. |
