Re: Help installing squid

Assuming you run squid with cache_effective_user set to squid, do this:

`chown squid logs/access.log`
`chown squid logs/cache.log`
`chown squid logs/store.log`

and then `chmod u+rw logs/*` to give squid read/write access to all the
log files. You might need to `chown -R` and `chmod -R` the cache_swap
directory as well. Basically you need to make sure that squid has
read/write access to all of its log files, all the entries in the
cache_swap directory, and the squid.out and squid.pid files too (squid can
run without access to the squid.out and squid.pid, but if you make sure
those work it will help any debugging you may need to do in the future).
