At the location you specified withe the build option --with-pidfile=/path/squid.pid or since you seem not to have built with that option, squid attempts and fails to create one at a BSD-specific location which does not exist on Linux. NP: -k shutdown will be broken by a missing PID. Use the options I linked to the wiki for. They make the logs and pid file etc appear in the locations needed by your OS. >> These are the minimal set of options to integrate with Debian based OS >> including Ubuntu: >> http://wiki.squid-cache.org/KnowledgeBase/Debian#Compiling >> Amos
