If you can login then try a "ps ax | grep squid" and see if you have any running instances of Squid. If you do then it's probably a network problem. If you do not then you may want to look at the cache.log (probably somewhere near /var/log/squid/cache.log) - there is likely more information why it couldn't start up. Also see if you can run "/usr/lib/squid/ncsa_auth /etc/squid/proxy_users" on the console. > This email transmission may contain confidential [...] <cough> ;) Christoph -- ~ ~ ".signature" [Modified] 1 line --100%-- 1,48 All
