Squid + nobody + access.log (newbie)

[Mauric]

SUSE 7.3, Kernel 2.4.20

linux (squid): Cannot open '/var/log/squid/var/logs/access.log' for writing. The parent directory must be writeable by the User 'nobody',
which is the cache_effective_user in squid.conf.

"how can i set the right to the user nobody and folder"

best regards

The /var/log/squid directory must be writeable by the user that is running squid (as you say this is defined by cache_effective_user).

To change the access, use the chown command:

chown -R nobody:nobody /var/log/squid

This will change ownershp of the directory to user nobody and group nobody. The -R option will also change all directories below this...
