I'm sending the squid.out and squid.conf files. I couldn't get where the
chmod line has to be put or instered or replaced with any other line. I have
a very basic squid.conf file which offers a very limited services.

On looking in the squid.out file, it says that could not create cache.log in
/usr/local/squid/logs/. Please also tell why the log files are not created.

Please help.

Regards,

Ghazi, Muhammad Farhan
