Bug Description

I'm not even sure why it's being used, but maas-proxy doesn't run on my freshly installed MAAS;

Oct 17 00:57:33 ubuntu squid3: Cannot open '/var/log/maas/proxy/access.log' for writing.#012#011The parent directory must be writeable by the#012#011user 'proxy', which is the cache_effective_user#012#011set in squid.conf.

I had to chown -R proxy /var/log/maas/proxy and then start again.

The UI also gives me no indication the proxy server is not running, so if it's being supplied by default to the nodes (I didn't specify it) it should give feedback if it's failed to start.

The fix might be as simple as ensuring the permissions are correct in the init script.

Looks similar to bug 1377964, but for a different file.

I see the postinst does indeed include a chown as the fix for bug 1377964. So someone explain to me, how could the postinst not get run if the package is installed?

Hi Kiko,

If you can reproduce this, can you please attach:

/var/log/upstart/maas-proxy.log?
