In your squid.conf there should be an option for logfile_rotate, this
may be the issue

I would not say a 19mb access log file is "huge", we have around 250
clients using the proxy server here and log files can be in excess of
100mb per day (just for access!).

Dear List,

We have two proxy servers. On one proxy server, the logfiles are
being
rotated and compressed by squid, on a daily basis. I am assuming that
squid
is doing this, since no external logfile program such as RedHat's
"logrotate" is installed.

But, on the second proxy server, the logfiles are not being rotated,
and
currently the logfile is reaching 19MB and rising.

I have checked all crontab entries, and nothing on both servers
points to
log rotation. So why are the logs being rotated on one server and not
the
other???

Forcing the command "squid -k rotate" does not help.

Has any one got any ideas??

Kind Regards,

Thomas Adam
