You are not supposed to get much feedback in the console when running squid.
Check cache.log for more details instead.

Hi,
I'm still pretty new at Linux so this may make sense to some of you.
I had Redhat FC3 running with Squid for testing but it was not set up as
well as it should have been. I wanted the disks used differently, etc. So
I reinstalled FC3 (K12LTSP 4.2.0). Now I am working on getting Squid set up
and I can't get ANY response from it at the command line. Therefore I can't
even create the cache_dir.
When I type "/usr/sbin/squid" with anything, -z, -v, etc I get NOTHING, just
back to the command prompt. It does try to start if I type "service squid
start", but it fails, of course. When I change the cache_dir to the default
in squid.conf, it starts from the command line by typing "squid", but I
still don't get anything from command line commands. Reconfigure seems to
be effective from command line, but no output, etc.
I don't know where to even look for a cause to this. Maybe I have some
basic configuration issue I need to fix?
Thanks,
Geoff
