The inability to open the conf file on boot has resolved itself (or I
quoted an error resulting from some manual attempt to run squid) - but
the "squid[1551]: storeDirOpenTmpSwapLog: Failed to open swap log"
error still exists, and is fatal. This is the unprivileged user
spawned by the root process that is run at boot.
The low-privileged effective user is the default, "proxy". Here's an
accurate representation of my cache/logs file stucture:
/media/sdcard root:root 777
../squid proxy:proxy 770
../../00 through 0F proxy:proxy 750
../../swap.state proxy:proxy 640
../../logs proxy:proxy 775
../../../*.log proxy:proxy 640
Interestingly, swap.state is back even though I deleted it during
troubleshooting, so Squid can clearly r/w here just fine.
For completeness, my cache_dir is set as follows:
cache_dir ufs /media/sdcard/squid 800 16 256
Logs:
access_log none
cache_log /media/sdcard/squid/logs/cache.log
cache_store_log /media/sdcard/squid/logs/store.log
I really can't see anything wrong with my permissions. What am I missing?
Thanks.
