Hightower Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 P.S. the apt-install lines will need to be carried out as a super user too - just type sudo prior to the command.

james_yale Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 Are you still low in disk space? df -h Find where the disk is being used (almost certianly log files) ((will take a while)): sudo du -sh /* See where the squid logs are being stored: sudo cat /etc/squid/squid.conf | grep _log Then you can do what pete said (note the leading chevron, without that you're executing the file): sudo su > /var/log/squid/access.log exit

wellscs Posted March 17, 2009 Author Posted March 17, 2009 Have deleted some files and made 7.5G of space working at the moment guess need to free some more space somehow then setup log rotation and will need help to check it is working WCSLOBSTER ~ # df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/sda1 71G 60G 7.5G 89% / varrun 1013M 288K 1013M 1% /var/run varlock 1013M 0 1013M 0% /var/lock udev 1013M 68K 1013M 1% /dev devshm 1013M 12K 1013M 1% /dev/shm lrm 1013M 38M 976M 4% /lib/modules/2.6.24-16-generic/volatile gvfs-fuse-daemon 71G 60G 7.5G 89% /root/.gvfs
james_yale Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 Check which other logs (or other) are using disk: sudo du -sh /var/* From the result of that you can drill down and see which files are using the most disk.
tom_newton Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 if you issue sudo -i (get you a "root shell") then echo "" >/var/log/squid/access.log that will zero the main log 1
wellscs Posted March 17, 2009 Author Posted March 17, 2009 /var/www is full of logs from last November to 9th march this year can i just delete these or put them on an external hard disk? could i then with some help set something up to create the logs and then delete them after a certain time?

james_yale Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 You can certainly delete the old logs if you don't want to read them, but it looks like the majority of the space is being used up by your web content. 1
pete Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 (edited) /var/www is full of logs from last November to 9th march this year can i just delete these or put them on an external hard disk? could i then with some help set something up to create the logs and then delete them after a certain time? A) Check that the content in /var/www _really_ is squid-generated html logs and not web content being served B) If (as I suspect) they're prettified squid logs in html format, generated from your main squid logs, I'd delete the ones in /var/www (after double-checking that they are generated logs (open one in a text editor) to give you disk space, then compress your main squid logs and back up the compressed log. You can regenerate the html logs from the main squid log if necessary using sarg. If you're not sure, paste a few lines of the logs (anonymised if necessary) in this thread.

wellscs Posted March 17, 2009 Author Posted March 17, 2009 This is longest that it has stayed up for 6 days Thanks to all you good men that stuck with me and have been very patient, I guess you be hearing more from me looks like there willbe 50GB of free space soon, it was all html type files reporting each users sites visited. pages that were denied etc. how do i compress and backup logs. the access log in /var/log/squid/access.log is 0KB the access log in /var/log/squid-ntlm/access.log is 970MB I would also like to try log rotation to conserve space if this is possible
ricki Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 HI The reason why we are getting the permissions error is because you are loggin in as a normal user you cannot do some of the command. To change system files you have 2 choices use sudo to pretend to be root, or activate and use root. Richard
