Hi, Ubuntu 11.10, Squid 2.7.STABLE9-4ubuntu4 on amd64. This has been running just fine since I set it up several weeks ago, and now today it won't run on boot or if started manually with init.d or service. The error messages are: squid[2173]: Unable to open configuration file: /etc/squid/squid.conf: (13) Permission denied squid[1551]: storeDirOpenTmpSwapLog: Failed to open swap log. kernel: [ 46.350141] init: squid main process (1551) killed by ABRT signal I've changed nothing at all to do with Squid. squid.conf is owned by "root" user and group, r/w for user only; the swap log (which I assume is swap.state) is owned by "proxy" user and group. Only changes today that may have something to do with it are: installing git through apt-get; installing tvheadend with apt-get; installed patchutils with apt-get; installed libproc-processtable-perl with apt-get; and obtaining, building and installing the V4L-DVB Device Drivers from linuxtv.org (git clone git://linuxtv.org/media_build.git; cd media_build; ./build; sudo make install). Troubleshooting attempted: deleted swap.state; purged git, tvheadend, patchutils and libproc-processtable-perl packages with "apt-get purge"; rebooted machine various times. Any advice? Seems odd it should suddenly just stop working. Thanks.
