RE: [squid-users] Fails to Start

Good chance it is file permissions on your cache directory. Squid -z creates
the swap directories. Check the cache_effective_user within the squid.conf
file, if you are starting squid as root. That conf file user is who needs
permissions to the swap directories and log file directories. Check the
var/spool/squid permissions.

Subject: [squid-users] Fails to Start

Hi

        I've installed Linux ver 9. I also installed squid with it. It was
not an upgrade from an earlier version of the OS or Squid. When I wanted to
start Squid for the first time it gave me the following error
message:

Squid failed: The error was: init_cache_dir
/var/spool/squid ..........
Starting squid: ........... failed

What did I do wrong or is it some bug? I also had the same problem with
Linux Redhat 8.0.

Thank you.

Willem
