Make sure squid is able to write the logs (this may mean you have to give
ownership of the log directory to squid's effective user). Also, if you
are starting from scratch you have to do a squid -z to start off the
cache directory (also, there is a mail about a bug in that you have to
chown -R cache directory structure as well so squid can write to it).
