Hi folks,
I have squid 2.6 version 17 installed. I'm trying to rotate the squid
logs. According to the FAQ (
http://wiki.squid-cache.org/SquidFaq/SquidLogs ), I should be able to
rotate logs like this:
sudo /usr/sbin/squid -k rotate
I'm running squid as the nobody user, but executing the rotate command
as root.
When I use the above command, I don't get an error message, but I also
don't get rotated log files.
My squid.conf has this entry for logfile_rotate:
logfile_rotate 10
I ran it in debug mode:
sudo /usr/sbin/squid -X -k rotate
and didn't see any messages that seemed relevant.
However, when I do what the squid.conf file explicitly tells you not to do:
sudo kill -USR1 <pid of squid>
I do get rotated log files.
Here's the uname -a output:
Linux proxy-stage.chfops.net 2.6.9-023stab044.11-enterprise #1 SMP Sun
Sep 30 12:15:39 MSD 2007 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
I'm confused on how to best rotate squid's log files. I googled for
some help, but most of what turned up was just pointers to the FAQ. I
also searched on the mailing list (via MARC), but most of the answers
were 7 years old and didn't contain any useful information.
Thanks for any suggestions.
