The server is also a PDC. ::Look in the same directory where is squid.exe, and when ::squid fails to ::start, look in the squid.exe.log file: it contains stderr ::output generated ::during service startup. :: ::Regards Hi Guido, sorry for the late reply, but I had to wait to see the problem another one time on my SquidNT box. The Squid.exe.log content is: "2005/05/04 08:14:15| Squid is already running! Process ID 1228". I've checked the PID 1228, but is not Squid: PID 1228 belongs to svchost.exe. Squid is not present in the process table, so file squid.exe.log have a nonsense content for me (squid isn't running at all). How can I do further investigations on my problem?
