The only related effect that tproxy has on this is that it gives the
process some additional rights it normally doesn't have. But I don't see
how this can cause it to not have permissions to open the pid file..
Is there perhaps a squid.pid file with bad permissions in the directory?
Or missing execute permission for the cache_effective_user on any of the
directories in the path? Or missing write permission on the logs
directory?
grep cache_effective_user squid.conf
ls -ld /usr
ls -ld /usr/local
ls -ld /usr/local/squid26s9TP
ls -ld /usr/local/squid26s9TP/var/
ls -ld /usr/local/squid26s9TP/var/logs/
ls -l /usr/local/squid26s9TP/var/logs/squid.pid

If /usr/local/squid26s9TP/var/logs is given a group writable permission or
if the PID file is given at /var/run which is owned by root:root then the
issue disappears.
