Squid showing error!!!
 

Hi Members
I'm facing a problem whenever i enable the service of squid it's give an error message which are as follow:-

[root@Waheguruji root]# service squid start
init_cache_dir /var/spool/squid... /etc/init.d/squid: line 162: 1445 Aborted
$SQUID -z -F -D 2>/dev/null
Starting squid: /etc/init.d/squid: line 162: 1446 Aborted $SQUID $SQUID_OPTS 2>/dev/null

[FAILED]


How can i rectify this problem what should i do....
Note: i'm using RedHat 9

step 1 = patience. squid is a giant, many-tentacled beast!
 

I think I saw the same error about two weeks ago. I finally got my squid properly sauteed last weekend, but it was not simple, or easy!

With the message you posted of an error on line 162, the first question is: what's on line 162 of your squid.conf file?

Also, how is your computer acquiring its IP address? I suspect a conflict with your dhcpd.conf file or some other part of network address acquisition.

HTH & best of luck,
