Help help! The version of squid that was available for my distro (2.6.STABLE1) didn't work for me, I installed it with apt-get on Ubuntu Edgy 6.10 for amd64 kernel 2.6.17. So I removed it and installed 2.6.STABLE9 from source. I cannot get it to run. when I do /etc/init.d/squid start it says [ok] and if I do /usr/sbin/squid it returns a command prompt (no errors). squid -k parse also returns no errors. However squid -k check, squid -k reload (etc) give this error: squid: ERROR: No running copy /var/log/squid/cache.log has not been touched since I uninstalled the old squid. /var/log/messages has some things in it that i found very unhelpful: Mar 6 18:51:36 proxy squid[2286]: Squid Parent: child process 2288 started Mar 6 18:51:39 proxy squid[2290]: Squid Parent: child process 0 started Mar 6 18:51:39 proxy squid[2290]: Squid Parent: child process -1 exited with status 1 Mar 6 18:51:39 proxy squid[2288]: Squid Parent: child process 2290 started Mar 6 18:51:42 proxy squid[2292]: Squid Parent: child process 0 started Mar 6 18:51:42 proxy squid[2292]: Squid Parent: child process -1 exited with status 1 Mar 6 18:51:42 proxy squid[2290]: Squid Parent: child process 2292 started Mar 6 18:51:45 proxy squid[2294]: Squid Parent: child process 0 started Mar 6 18:51:45 proxy squid[2294]: Squid Parent: child process -1 exited with status 1 Mar 6 18:51:45 proxy squid[2292]: Squid Parent: child process 2294 started Mar 6 18:51:45 proxy squid[2292]: Squid Parent: child process 2294 exited with status 1 Mar 6 18:51:45 proxy squid[2290]: Squid Parent: child process 2292 exited with status 1 Mar 6 18:51:48 proxy squid[2296]: Squid Parent: child process 0 started Mar 6 18:51:48 proxy squid[2296]: Squid Parent: child process -1 exited with status 1 Mar 6 18:51:48 proxy squid[2290]: Squid Parent: child process 2296 started Mar 6 18:51:48 proxy squid[2290]: Squid Parent: child process 2296 exited with status 1 Mar 6 18:51:48 proxy squid[2288]: Squid Parent: child process 2290 exited with status 1 Mar 6 18:51:51 proxy squid[2298]: Squid Parent: child process 0 started Mar 6 18:51:51 proxy squid[2298]: Squid Parent: child process -1 exited with status 1 Mar 6 18:51:51 proxy squid[2288]: Squid Parent: child process 2298 started I have read the FAQ and the information that it has does not apply to me (i.e. find the PID and put it in a file) root@proxy:/var# ps -fu squid UID PID PPID C STIME TTY root@proxy:/var# as you can see there is nothing running.
