RE: [squid-users] empty acl

Amos,

Thanks for your reply.
I have deleted the ad_block.txt and downloaded it again
I have chown the file to squid user and chmod 777 that file to make sure that there is no permissions issue. I have done the same thing for temp_ad_ in /temp directory.
Still, I get the same error message as below which I do not get on Linux for some reasons.
I believe the error occurs when the script asked squid to reconfigure "squid -k reconfigure" as you rightfully mentioned below.
All the access are correct. So that would leave me with the other option you talked about in your reply which is "file is empty" when script runs "squid -k reconfigure". There I have to admit I am lost. Did I over look something or may be the syntax of the acl below is not working in FreeBSD ?

Kind Regards,

## rm temp file
rm -rf /tmp/tmp_ad_file

 The file is empty at the time of Squid reconfigure/startup or the Squid user account does not have read access to load it.
