Change Log Path for Squid on Centos 6
I searched and did not find a useful answer. Can someone please tell me the best practice to change the log directory from /var/log to /opt/squid?

Code:
$ grep "/var/" /etc/squid/squid.conf

# cache_dir ufs /var/cache/squid 100 16 256
access_log /var/log/squid/access.log squid
# cache_log /var/log/squid/cache.log
# cache_store_log /var/log/squid/store.log
# pid_filename /var/run/squid.pid
coredump_dir /var/cache/squid

$

What do I do to move squid.out? That file seems to be different than the access.log and cache.log files.
