Dear turab,

run this command

[root@lynx etc]#chown squid:squid /var/spool/squid

if ur cache directory is /var/spool/squid.

If this doesnot solve ur purpose, check the "cache_dir" tag in squid.conf file.

Dear linuxgossip,
Salam,

# chown squid:squid /var/spool/squid

Its better if he run this command in this way

# chown -R squid:squid /var/spool/squid

Best Regards.

Dear LinuxFreaK,

You are absolutely right. I mistyped the line chown -R squid:squid /<path to squid log dir> as chown squid:squid

Thank you for bringing it to notice.
