Check the startup script, and see what squid.conf it uses. Squid looks for a conf file in a default location specified when it is compiled, but can be told (with the "-f" option) to use a different config file. Running "squid -k reconfigure" without the "-f" option will reconfigure squid to use the config file in the default location, which could explain the problems you are seeing.

You should treat that message as an error and resolve it : make sure that cache dirs defined in squid.conf exist and are accessible by the user squid runs as. M.
