Thanks, but same thing there. There must be something fundamentally wrong with Squid. I am certain I have been able to see some feedback at the command line when running STABLE9. Anyway, it does seem to run, but now I have a problem with using a cache_dir other than the default. I have a separate SCSI drive (/dev/sdb) which I have mounted as: /dev/sdb1 /mnt/cache. I have set the owner and group to squid and I am getting "permission denied" in cache.log trying to start it. OK, cache directories aren't created, so I do squid -z and get NOTHING at all, just back to prompt. Doesn't tell me there that permission is denied, but it must be..... I had this issue once before but I am unable to replicate the fix. I know it was suggested to me that mount points take root as owner so it needs to be changed to squid and squid. Somehow I resolved this last time but I am having no luck this time. I have manually mounted the cache_dir so far, but can you set owner of EXT3 mount point in fstab? I don't know if that will make a difference right now as I have set this and am getting denied anyway. Any ideas on what I can do here? Do I need to blow Squid away and start over? Thanks for your help.
