Re: [squid-users] I need some assistance please

Make sure the /usr/local/squid/cache and /usr/local/squid/logs directories
exist and then give the user that squid runs as ownership of the directories

by default it is owner=nobody, group=nogroup in 2.4.STABLE7

ex.
chown -R nobody.nogroup /usr/local/squid/cache
chown -R nobody.nogroup /usr/local/squid/logs

If you run squid logged in as root than it will run as the user specified in
squid.conf. if you run squid as non-root then it will run as that user and
that user will need to be able to right to those directories.

P.S. I don't think this was in the install instructions when I setup squid so
whomever maintains that may want to add it to the instructions.
