You need to use http_port 80 and then make sure squid is started as root, with cache_effective_user set in the squid.conf to run as something non-root. A few systems actually run squid itself as a non-root user, and obviously this means you can't bind to port 80. Check the init script. :) Adrian On Wed, Feb 06, 2008, kk CHN wrote: > Hi squid-users, > > I installed squid2.6 from ports, and , squid starting properly on 3128 > > I want to make squid to listen on port 80 , so I edited http_port 3128 > to http_port 80 , and restarted it , but after changing the ports its > not running > > tail /var/log/messgaes shows that it canot open HTTP PORT , ? any > hints most welcome > > > my requirement was to handle all the request first by squid , then > pass it to apache , (cache_peer ) > > Thanks in advance > KK -- - Xenion - http://www.xenion.com.au/ - VPS Hosting - Commercial Squid Support - - $25/pm entry-level VPSes w/ capped bandwidth charges available in WA -
