Re: [squid-users] squid fresh installation question????????

Try this /usr/local/squid/sbin/squid -N

This should start squid in the forground ... which will help you find any
errors. If it working and you are happy then run it with out the -N.

A /usr/local/squid/sbin/squid --help should provide some info.
