[squid-users] sQUID FAILED TO START

I just upgraded my squid from version 2.5 Stable 1 to Stable 5.
Now while i am starting squid it is giving the following error.
What i am surprised is that though my squid.conf has some other directory
mentioned as its log directory then why is it pointing to the highlighted.
Where is it picking up /var/logs
My squid conf file is present in /etc/squid as it was before the upgrade.
It is referring to the same conf file as some of the lines below are
present in that conf file.
Please help as i am jacked owing to this.
thanks ..
Ashish
