Re: [squid-users] Squid 3.1.10 CentOS : cache_swap_log (13) Permission Denied

I am not sure how you manage your rights on the server and also the
locations in it but,
Squid cache dir should be fully accessible using the "effective_user" of
squid.
It's the same for squid logs.

Make sure the whole directory tree is accessible using the squid user.

I just noticed that cache_swap_log is not used in 3.1 but only in 2.6 so
just remove it.
A swap log should not be specified.
If you can still use it without errors in squid startup it's a bug and
should be reported.

So remove it and try to fix your permissions since this is your problem.

Regards,
Eliezer
