Re: [squid-users] squid fresh installation question

[Chris Wilcox]

From past experience of installing Squid from source, check permissions on 
the log and cache directories.  squid.conf specifies the user and group that 
Squid runs under.  This user must have relevant permissions on the cache and 
log directories otherwise Squid can't start.

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.
