Squid problem on fedora

Dear respected members,

I had installed squid on fedora but when i try to start the service with

Quote:

service squid start

it gives me error

Quote:

redirecting /bin/systemctl

i had restarted my system but the problem remains the same.

Please assist.

Hi, you need to be root to start a system wide service.

systemctl is a new implementation of the older services system.

When you call service the system hads it over to systemctl, and the script is run, if permissable.

Code:

su

enter root password.

try to start squid...

Code:

service squid start

check it's status

Code:

service squid status

Squid may also be started by restarting the network,

make sure all the if's are up.

Code:

ifconfig

hth's, Glenn

service squid start/restart/status

all gives the same error

Yes One of ifs is down and that is my eth1 but on centOS with same scenario I was running squid :S

here is a bunch of checks I have used,
(not all of them have been real usefull to me other than)
to see squid being referenced and using resources.

If you have not set an ip for squid it may be running on 127.0.0.1 (localhost)
check firewall settings, and portforwarding. see forwarding check below.../etc/sysctl.conf

these codes only return info. they don't change anything.

Hope they help you to diff the changes between you centos system and fedora.

check the ips, and ports are set (3128, 1080, there is some margin for non standards.)

Code:

#!/bin/bash

#

echo "netstat -an, show network stats"

sudo netstat -an



echo "iptables -t nat -nvL, check FW, nat Chain PREROUTING for squid port activity"

sudo iptables -t nat -nvL



echo "iptables -nvL"

sudo iptables -nvL



echo "ifconfig"

sudo ifconfig



echo "cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward, forward squids ip to the nic ip"

cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward



echo "netstat -tanp | grep 3128"

sudo netstat -tanp | grep 3128



echo "squid -v"

sudo squid -v



echo "cat /etc/squid/squid.conf | grep -v '#', show file without commented lines."

cat /etc/squid/squid.conf | grep -v '#'



echo "ps ax | grep squid  #ensure the redirector is running"

sudo ps ax | grep squid





echo "grep DPT=3128 /var/log/syslog -c  #change portnumber for others"

sudo grep DPT=3128 /var/log/syslog -c





echo "tail /var/log/squid/access.log"

sudo tail /var/log/squid/access.log

cheers, Glenn

Try these below as root user

Code:

$(which service) squid start

$(which service) squid restart

$(which service) squid status

Code:

systemctl start squid.service

or

$(which systemctl) status squid.service

if you could share messages logs/squid logs as well
