RE: [squid-users] Squid won't restart

Hi

I have done what you suggested below but it has made no difference. I am
still unable to start Squid on this server.

What port(s) does squid use when web traffic leaves it for the Internet.
i.e. users come in on port xx and requests leave squid for the Internet on
port ??

Many thanks

Mike

You need to make sure the user who Squid runs as
(cache_effective_user) has permission to write to your cache_dir
directories (/var/spool/squid above) and to the directory where you
have told Squid to keep it's log files and pid file (usually
/var/log/squid)
