RE: [squid-users] Error due to access.log

I think it was not symbolic link it was hard link.

I tried ln as follows :
ln -sd /var/log/squid/ /usr/local/squid/var/logs/
and got message "ln: `/usr/local/squid/var/log': File
exists
"

But problem is not solved.
Do I have to reinstall squid?
Thanks for support.
