Re: cache_effective_user

Thanks for the quick response.

OK that must have the problem.

effective_user and effective_group are set to proxy.
The complete squid directory structure is owned by user proxy and the
group is also set to proxy.

Starting squid now:

1999/01/06 13:10:05| /usr/local/squid/cache/swap.state: (13) Permission
denied
FATAL: storeDirOpenSwapLogs: Failed to open swap log.
Squid Cache (Version 2.1.PATCH2): Terminated abnormally.

Remove /usr/local/squid/cache/swap.state

/etc/rc3.d/S40squid start : Whoopie it works.

What I understand from the FAQ is that swap.state is kind of index of
all locally cached documents.
Right ?
