[squid-users] Fixed--Re: [squid-users] access.log no longer functioning, after --with-large-files

Fixed. I added the following line to my /etc/squid/squid.conf file.

access_log /var/log/squid/access.log squid

This was after looking at the default squid.conf file for, on a hunch,
any access.log config entries. I don't think this was mentioned in the
updates info on the website--I did look to see if anything new had
happened between v2.5 to v2.6 . Perhaps I just missed it. Since I did
not re-write the squid.conf based on any updated, default, squid.conf,
it seems strange that if there is *no* access_log line, that squid
defaults to *no access.log*. This definitely bit me. I hope it makes
sense, but at least it is functioning now. After lunch I'll do research
to see if there is yet anything else I've missed.
