Hi, On 12.04, I do install prerequisite packages/libraries, but not any squid package (it's cleaner), just build and run a "make install" (which puts squid in /usr/local) I have my own custom /etc/init.d/squid that starts squid with the config in /etc/squid/squid.conf and there specify log file locations, the proxy user etc. Sean On 2 December 2012 23:08, Amos Jeffries <squid3@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > On 03.12.2012 09:55, carteriii wrote: >> >> I found where the user & group are being set, so I have more confidence in my >> plan (detailed below), but would still appreciate some feedback. >> >> For future reference . . . >> > > There is no need to build with special parameters.
