Squid - empty access.log
-
Hi guys,
I searched the forum but didn't find a solution (or a similar problem), sorry if this has already been answered.
So basically my problem is that Squid always leaves the access.log file blank. >:(
The configuration specifies /var/squid/log as log directory and "enable logging is checked".
The permissions are the same as for cache.log (that is being written correctly) and I can't find a Squid error message in the logs.So does anyone have an idea?
Also, is there a specific error log file for Squid, or is it just supposed to be /var/log/system.log?It's been this way for a while and now people are asking me to fix it (I should have expected this would happen at some point), so any help is much welcome!
Thanks! ;D -
The most common way that can happen is if no traffic is actually passing through squid. :)
Are you sure the proxy is actually being used?
-
Well I tested some urls from the blacklist to make sure the proxy works, and the cache.log files seem to grow up (I'm not sure it's a sign the traffic is going through Squid).
-
Up please!!
Really no idea?
-
Did you check the box to enable logging on the main squid config page?
-
Yes I did!

Hi,
i've got a quite similar problem, when i check the "enable logging" box i can't access to internet anymore.
i've tried to enable access_log by editing manually squid.conf but without results.
any suggestions would be really appreciated -
Sorry, I still have no solution.
My problem seems a bit different though, as the box is checked and I have no problem getting to the Internet.
But I haven't tried to edit the config file, which one is it?
