Thank you Henrik, that was exactly the cause! Not surprisingly, turning off SELinux also allowed Squid to create the cache directories in a non-default location. I'll perhaps worry about figuring out SELinux policies and what caused the problem later. Now I'll just work on setting up the rest of this. Thanks again.

It does try to start if I type "service squid > start", but it fails, of course. Another user reported similar problems recently, and it boiled down to a SELinux policy issue. (strict policy not liking Squid if you configure it to go outside the configured policy) Regards Henrik --- [This E-mail scanned for viruses by Declude Virus]
