First of all, thank you for your response. As far as I am aware, the only thing I would have done with Squid was to customize Squid.conf. Unlikely to have changed a directory name. At the time of first installing/commissioning I would have been very cautious about making alterations that didn't need to be made.
The tardiness in responding to your reply, was that this particular system was also in the process of giving a HDD failure. It wasn't obvious and there were a few things in the latest Ubuntu LTS server release (16.04.1) that was distracting me from seeing this problem. As well, my other (file) server also decided to lock up. I'm currently running in it in recovery mode. From the internet forums, it seem like this may be a graphic card driver - I believe nVidia are not forthcoming with the Linux community on providing information etc for their cards. So, I have the system up again, but Squid appears to be dropping the URL. Will hit the internet and see what solutions there are. Once again, thanks for your response.
