Hi all,

I am trying to configure logrotate, but I am having a lot of problems.

Can you help me?

Here you can find a brief desription of directories and files at my
machine:

/opt/squid/var/logs/ # ll

...
#  TAG: logfile_rotate
#       Specifies the number of logfile rotations to make when you
#       type 'squid -k rotate'.  The default is 10, which will rotate
#       with extensions 0 through 9.  Setting logfile_rotate to 0 will
#       disable the rotation, but the logfiles are still closed and
#       re-opened.  This will enable you to rename the logfiles
#       yourself just before sending the rotate signal.
#
#       Note, the 'squid -k rotate' command normally sends a USR1
#       signal to the running squid process.  In certain situations
#       (e.g. on Linux with Async I/O), USR1 is used for other
#       purposes, so -k rotate uses another signal.  It is best to get
#       in the habit of using 'squid -k rotate' instead of 'kill -USR1
#       <pid>'.
#
#Default:
logfile_rotate 0
