Hello I have squid 2.7 stable7 on centos 5.3 I downloaded it from http://people.redhat.com/~jskala/squid/ because Cenots repos has 2.6 version only. When I would to start squid /etc/init.d/squid start I receive [failed] but in cache.log there is no Warnings or errors . So I can not pinpoint the error. How can I find the cause of the error ??? I use default config. Earlier I have received "squid WARNING failed to resolve 192.168.0.1 to a fully qualified hostname. So I made an entry in etc hosts and add visible_hostname proliant.geodezja.wolomin in squid conf but still have error. Its strange service squid status show me that squid is running !! but service squid restart shows: service squid stop [ok] service squid start [failed] service squid status running The machine which squid is running have 2 NIC's (Linux router) eth0 192.168.1.1 and eth1 192.168.0.1. My public domain IP is 83.18.17.30 and dns from internet provider. So what should look like a valid entry in the /etc/hosts ?? 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost proliant #192.168.1.2 proliant 192.168.0.1 proliant.geodezja.wolomin.pl proliant #83.18.17.30 geodezja.wolomin.pl proliant 192.168.0.2 sm2 192.168.0.3 sm3 192.168.0.4 sm4 192.168.0.6 sm19 192.168.0.8 sm9 ::1 localhost6.localdomain6 localhost6 squid.conf http_port 8080 transparent visible_hostname proliant.geodezja.wolomin.pl acl all src all acl manager proto cache_object acl localhost src 127.0.0.1/32 acl to_localhost dst 127.0.0.0/8 0.0.0.0/32 #acl localnet src 10.0.0.0/8 # RFC1918 possible internal network #acl localnet src 172.16.0.0/12 # RFC1918 possible internal network #acl localnet src 192.168.0.0/16 # RFC1918 possible internal network acl localnet src 192.168.0.0/24 acl SSL_ports port 443 acl Safe_ports port 80 # http acl Safe_ports port 21 # ftp acl Safe_ports port 443 # https acl Safe_ports port 70 # gopher acl Safe_ports port 210 # wais acl Safe_ports port 1025-65535 # unregistered ports acl Safe_ports port 280 # http-mgmt acl Safe_ports port 488 # gss-http acl Safe_ports port 591 # filemaker acl Safe_ports port 777 # multiling http acl CONNECT method CONNECT http_access allow manager localhost http_access deny manager http_access deny !Safe_ports http_access deny CONNECT !SSL_ports http_access allow localnet http_access allow localhost http_access deny all icp_access allow localnet icp_access deny all hierarchy_stoplist cgi-bin ? access_log /var/log/squid/access.log squid refresh_pattern ^ftp: 1440 20% 10080 refresh_pattern ^gopher: 1440 0% 1440 refresh_pattern -i (/cgi-bin/|\?) 0 0% 0 refresh_pattern . 0 20% 4320 acl shoutcast rep_header X-HTTP09-First-Line ^ICY.[0-9] upgrade_http0.9 deny shoutcast acl apache rep_header Server ^Apache broken_vary_encoding allow apache coredump_dir /var/spool/squid squid.log 2010/03/15 10:25:38| Preparing for shutdown after 0 requests 2010/03/15 10:25:38| Waiting 30 seconds for active connections to finish 2010/03/15 10:25:38| FD 13 Closing HTTP connection 2010/03/15 10:25:38| Shutting down... 2010/03/15 10:25:38| FD 14 Closing ICP connection 2010/03/15 10:25:38| Closing unlinkd pipe on FD 11 2010/03/15 10:25:38| storeDirWriteCleanLogs: Starting... 2010/03/15 10:25:38| Finished.
