Thanks for your inputs , Sirs. I have added user 'squid' and group 'squid'. Changed the ownership of /usr/local/squid to user 'squid' and group 'squid' I have changed cache_effective_user as: cache_effective_user squid cache_effective_group squid I have also created 'store.log' and 'access.log' files in '/usr/local/squid/var/logs' and ownership is set to user 'squid' and group 'squid' 'Squid' has all the permissions (read, write, execute) on directory '/usr/local/squid' Still it doesn not start nor it gives any error. /usr/local/squid/sbin/squid -k parse does not report any error.
