You tell Squid to rotate it's log files by running "squid -k rotate". cron can be set up to call "squid -k rotate" at any interval you prefer. A common choice is once per day.

Log file rotation is done automatically using logrotate. The configuration file for the Squid logfiles is /etc/logrotate.d/squid. It contains information when and how to rotate the following files: * /var/log/squid/cache.log * /var/log/squid/access.log * /var/log/squid/store.log By default, they are rotated depending on their size. If you have configured any other log files (or modified the names), just include them here. A description of the syntax is available in the man page of logrotate. logrotate is run via a cron job daily (have a look at /etc/cron.daily/logrotate) Regards, Peter -- Peter Albrecht, Novell Training Services, [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The file will only be installed if you install the Squid package: merkur2:~ # rpm -qf /etc/logrotate.d/squid squid-2.5.STABLE12-18.2 Well, this is from SLES 10 which is based on SUSE Linux 10.1. I don't have a SUSE Linux 10.1 around but it should be the same package. So please install this package from your installation media and even if you decide to use your own Squid (self-compiled), you can use the configuration file for logrotate. If I can be of any additional help, please let me know. Regards, Peter -- Peter Albrecht, Novell Training Services, [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hi Peter Thanks Yes you are correct we installed our own self - compiled squid which is why I don't see the files. I shall install this package.

Do you think there would be any confiction > with the live squid running if I perform this task It depends on where you installed your Squid files. There are two options to get /etc/logrotate.d/squid on your system: 1) You stay with your self-compiled Squid. Then I recommend installing the Squid package on another machine and copying /etc/logrotate.d/squid to your "real" server. logrotate will detect the squid file and will rotate the log files automatically, so no other action is required. If you want/need to install the package on your "real" server, please check first if it would overwrite some of your own files. To get the list of files in the rpm package, do rpm -qpl /path/to/the/squidpackage But there are more than 1000 files in the package ... 2) Save your squid.conf and install the package from the installation media. (Maybe remove all your self-installed squid files first to get a clean system.) Then copy your configuration to /etc/squid/squid.conf and start your Squid. Using Squid from the installation media also has the advantage that you can use the start script /etc/init.d/squid. So you don't need to modify anthing besides the configuration. And using rpm packages allows easily for removing/updating packages with all dependencies and all files. Do you have a special need why you can't use the Squid package provided on the DVD/CD? Normally it should be fine using this package. Regards, Peter -- Peter Albrecht, Novell Training Services, [EMAIL PROTECTED]
