Hallo, Ashgar, Du meintest am 29.09.10: > I have complie squid from latest stable version File > "squid-3.1.8.tar.gz". [...] > But when I try to manually start with >>>>>>> service squid start > [root@proxysrv ~]# service squid start > squid: unrecognized service Which distribution do you use? "service" is a command which may work in different ways with different distributions, and there are distributions (not yours) which don't use such a command for starting daemons etc. Viele Gruesse!
