Re: problems rotating logs

I found squid -k rotate not to work too well.
Alex is right in saying that the user you're running as does not have
permissions to send a signal to the squid process.

So , what you can do is

kill -USR1 `cat /usr/local/squid/logs/squid.pid`

. Run the above as root, or the user id which squid is running as.
