Re: [squid-users] No space for squid ?

Hallo Henrik,

thanks very much for your answer. I am very new to squid, so perhaps I am
asking questions which are simple for an expert. Anyhow:

May I shorten swap.state, swap.state.new ( why that ? ), access.log,cache.log
and store.log with an editor like vi withouth damaging something for squid ?
There are some files "access.log-20010207.gz" and similar. May I delete this
files ?

Very likely. I never set a "rotate" as I had no idea about. My informations are
based on "Squid: A User's Guide", from the Internet, and I did not find
anything about rotation. What does exactly "rotate" make?
BTW: if I give the command "squid -k rotate" in a console, I get the message
"squid: ERROR: Could not send signal 10 to process 373: (3) No such process"
What am I doing wrong ?

I am using squid 2.3 stable 3 under SuSE 6.4.

Thank you again for the help
