Hi all,<br>
<br>
I'm following the instructions on this page
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://wiki.squid-cache.org/ConfigExamples/Intercept/SslBumpExplicit">http://wiki.squid-cache.org/ConfigExamples/Intercept/SslBumpExplicit</a><br>
to set up Squid as an end-point for HTTPS communications, and am
hitting an error when attempting to create and initialize an SSL
certificates cache directory.<br>
<br>
Having taken care to ensure that my chosen directory exists
(/usr/local/var/cache/squid/ssl_db) and has the same ownership as
the user which I'm using to execute ssl_crtd, I execute the
following command from within squid's libexec directory:<br>
<br>
./ssl_crtd -c -s /usr/local/var/cache/squid/ssl_db<br>
<br>
This gives the following output:<br>
<br>
Initialization SSL db...<br>
./ssl_crtd: Cannot create /usr/local/var/cache/squid/ssl_db<br>
<br>
<br>
All the mailing list searching I've done suggests that this is a
permissions issue, but the folder is owned by me, has permissions
755, and I'm running ssl_crtd.<br>
<br>
For what it's worth, I'm running v3.5.7 on OS X (via Homebrew) which
was built with --enable-ssl --enable-ssl-crtd --disable-eui<br>
<br>
Can anyone suggest what my issue might be? Does ssl_crtd internally
run as an alternate user? I don't appear to have any user accounts
dedicated to Squid.<br>
<br>
<br>
All suggestions welcome,<br>
<br>
Ian<br>
