OK. Well there must be a way around this. I hate to keep bugging you about it. You have been great with your advice thus far, but do you know of any other Squid forums I could post the issue on in the mean time?
Cheers, Travis -----Original Message----- From: Henrik Nordstrom [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, December 10, 2003 11:23 AM To: Travis Bullock Cc: Squid Users Subject: RE: [squid-users] Version Info Your modified init script looks for /usr/local/squid/sbin/squid when determining if Squid is installed or not, but when starting Squid is just uses "squid" and relies on finding it in the PATH. I see that you are using the RedHat init script for Squid. This init script is very complex, hard to understand, and does most things in very non-intuitive manners. It is not easy to modify this init script to use /usr/local/squid/ instead of the standard system paths.
