hi all,
I have ran the command (c:\squid\sbin\squid -n squid -k rotate) to
rotate log files (Cache,store and access) but only cache and store logs
were rotated.
I need to rotate access.log too because it reached 4GB.
Also how to see users visited websites in date and time because it is
not included in access.log.
Things to check on:
A) does your access.log (and the directory path it site in) have the
right permissions?
Best way to test this is to shutdown squid, move the existing
access.log file to a different path/name and restart squid. A new
access.log file should be created with correct ownership.
If a new file is *not* created, then there is a problem with the path.
cache.log should have details about what is broken amongst the startup
messages.
B) is your Squid configured or built to rely on external systems
managing the access.log file rotation/renaming?
That is determined by the logfile_rotate directive. We publish Squid
code have a default of 10, but some vendors provide integration with
their OS logging and patch the default to be 0. You can set the
directive in squid.conf to test for yourself Squid's rotation behaviour.
NP: if your vendor is using third-party software to manage access.log
you should use whatever rotation feature that software offers instead of
"-k rotate"
Cheers,
Amos
