Hi NgTech,
I can restart the service wuth user and group being root. However, while
I try to start using user as apdpr01 and group as root, it is
getting timed out and not giving any errors. Can you please advise on this?
Squid low-level processes MUST NOT be given root access.
Your old user/group were valid and should still be working same as with
any older Squid version.
Also, what the ./configure structure should be to compile the binary?
./configure --with-default-user=apdpr01 [1]
With the above build you can remove any "cache_effective_user apdpr01"
lines from squid.conf.
group does not matter (much), so long as that user (apdpr01) is a member
of the group according to the OS.
The OS will auto-assign the default group of user (apdpr01) to Squid
processes, **unless** your squid.conf indicates a specific one such as:
cache_effective_group apache
What you should expect to see is a single "squid" process running as
root (this is the master one controlled by "service squid ...").
Its child processes should all have your custom user/group.
Things to check:
* Any important looking messages from:
squid -k parse
* Does running squid manually work properly?
sudo squid
- If not, what does cache.log say about why it halted?
* Do you have a "squid.service" installed properly with systemd ?
- does it match the one we publish for Squid v6?
<https://github.com/squid-cache/squid/blob/v6/tools/systemd/squid.service>
- are the file paths listed there correct for where your Squid got
installed to?
[1] other options may be needed, I do not know of specifically right now.
