RE: [squid-users] Squid with SquidGuard

Hi Brian,

Suppose you have tried this already, but does squidguard generate its
own log files (the logdir directive in squidGuard.conf)? If not, try to

#touch /path/to/logdir/squidGuard.log

, make sure the logfile has correct permissions (could be 644
squid:squid in your case) and see if it helps.

Regards,

Tuukka
