help me

You don't acknowledge those error messages at all... did you even search for them? You'd have quite possibly ended up here if you had... http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...roblem-762265/

A please / thank you would be recommended next time too btw.

why did you post that?

every time i am going to start squid service but it shows fail can you help me?

I already have. Please actually read the responses you get.

Your SeLinux is screwing up here... If you disable it, then it will be all ok.

See http://www.crypt.gen.nz/selinux/disable_selinux.html for how to disable it.

Well, the system tried to help you. Did you actually READ what you posted??? Did you not post this?
See the part that's bolded?? Where the system TELLS YOU what command to run? Did you RUN IT? Have you tried "restart" instead of "start"?

Nrrg, well ... it doesn't actually. It's SELinux.

Perhaps, but it could also be the directory is missing (the -z creates it), or a permissions issue. Running with the "-z" as suggested will either fix it, or give output indicating a permissions issue.

But the OP never indicates what version/distro of Linux, whether SElinux is enabled or not, any sort of permissions, or whether squid was ever working or if this is a new installation. Hard to say.

Ahh come on now... did you even read the error message? There's a Violation right there! It's *very* easy to say ;)

well i already disable SELINUX but result is same and also try restart
and im fresh 1st time using linux version fedora12

No, that's not true, the result can NOT be the same if you've disabled it. That's impossible.

And... Fedora 12????? That went out of support ages ago. do NOT use it under and circumstances. If this is a preopr server then use CentOS 6

once again, how about a please / thank you??

AGAIN...have you tried running the command that the system told you to run????

I once encounter similar situation with fc17 , its not necessary to disable SELINUX
its definitely a permission issue ... check to make sure the swap directories are owned by squid user
(chown squid:squid /var/spool/squid)...!!googd luck

It's *DEFINITELY* not! Read the errors!

ping yahoo.com
ping: unknown host yahoo.com


squid service is running
but i can not ping yahoo or any other domain
yesterday all the thins was working today i restart then route is automatically remove and dns entries also from resolve.conf then i put this command chattr +i /etc/resolv.conf after that dns entries is there after reboot but host not resolving

so what happened to the previous page of comments? All irrelevant now?

what are your dns settings? can you ping the dns server IP? Can you hit a web page by IP address?

yes previous all irrelevant bcoz i installed fresh machine it is SElinux and iptables problem which solved and all are working ping nslookup browsing but still dont know about removing config in resolv.conf if i put chattr -i and route also remove on reboot

you re-installed for that??? Blimey!

I presume you are using DHCP for the server? Don't do that. Stop the NetworkManager service and configure the network config statically. It's a server. Treat it as such. You can use a reservation on your DHCP server if need be, but even then, make it give you the right details in the first place.
