squid not starting in Fedora 5
I installed my Fedora server with 2 NIC cards..
While starting my squid I am getting the error message like this. [root@fedora2 ~]# service squid start init_cache_dir /var/spool/squid... /etc/init.d/squid: line 54: 2495 Aborted $SQUID -z -F -D >>/var/log/squid/squid.out 2>&1 Starting squid: /etc/init.d/squid: line 53: 2496 Aborted $SQUID $SQUID_OPTS >>/var/log/squid/squid.out 2>&1 [FAILED] [root@fedora2 ~]# Can anybody comment on this |
What version of squid are you using? - 2.5 or 2.6?
Usually when squid is installed the first time, you need to create the disk cache manually. # /usr/local/sbin/squid -z In my case (OpenBSD) it is installed in /usr/local/sbin. But before doing this, you need to manually edit squid.conf (usually in /etc/squid) to set the IP and port squid will listen and bind to. In my case, I prefer to bind it only to localhost:3128 or 127.0.0.1:3128 so that I would no longer configure all of my clients browser if they don't use a proxy before. http_port 127.0.0.1:3128 Also you will need to set the most basic ACL under the ACCESS CONTROL section such as this: acl my_net src 192.168.0.0/24 http_access allow my_net http_access allow localhost Consult your logs for error hint usually /var/log/messages or might be in /var/spool/squid/logs in your case. Then try to start squid and check out /var/spool/squid/logs/cache.log to see if squid started normally. You should also check if there is a listening connection via netstat. |
