[squid-users] How do I rotate access.log?

[roee klinger]

Thanks for your reply,

I am using a Raspberry Pi and the latest version of Squid which I installed
from apt.

In my cache.log, here are all my logging and rotation-related messages:

2020/12/29 17:37:14 kid1| logfileRotate: daemon:/var/log/squid/access.log
2020/12/29 17:37:14 kid1| logfileRotate: daemon:/var/log/squid/access.log
2020/12/29 17:37:14 kid1| Logfile: opening log
daemon:/var/log/squid/access.log
2020/12/29 17:37:14 kid1| Logfile Daemon: opening log
/var/log/squid/access.log
2020/12/29 17:37:14 kid1| Store logging disabled
2020/12/29 18:22:39 kid1| Logfile: opening log
stdio:/var/spool/squid/netdb.state
2020/12/29 18:22:39 kid1| Logfile: closing log
stdio:/var/spool/squid/netdb.state

Thanks.
