Yes, I completely agree you should upgrade from Squid 3.1 You might also consider upgrading from Ubuntu 12.04... :) > So I wanted the newest stable release and that is 3.5.24 > 6. I've deleted every squid-related package with dpkg (what about this one, > should I delete it too?: /usr/share/vim/vim73/syntax/squid.vim) No, that's just an editor syntax rules file, for "intelligent" highlighting when you edit the Squid config file. Leave it or delete it; it's nothing to do with installing or running Squid. > 7.

When I go to /etc/init.d and type "squid" I get no error (I got earlier > because there was no cache.log file in /var/log/squid3) Do you really mean "squid" or do you mean "./squid"? If it's the first, I don't understand the relevance of being in /etc/init.d > 10. I can run squid -z to create directories Good. > 11. there is no squid service on the list using "service --status-all" What do you get from the following: /etc/init.d/squid status /etc/init.d/squid restart Basically I think you are doing very well now.
