Re: Can't start squid, help needed

Hi,

It's quite possible that your dnsserver program is not where squid expects
it to be. I haven't used Squid 1.x but in squid 2.x there is a section in
the squid.conf file where you specify the location of dnsserver, pinger etc
etc. Does it match up with the real location of your dnsserver program?

Also, why don't you try out the "proper" redhat method by using an RPM to
install squid...I have used RPM sources for a while now and find them to be
a great heap easier than compiling straight from tarball. You can find
great squid RPM's at http://home.earthlink.net/~intrep/linux/ . These ones
set up logrotating under redhat and put things where you'd expect to
generally find them on a redhat system. I found everything to work
completely reliably using these particular RPM's (I believe others are set
up on rhcn.redhat.com also but haven't tried them)

Hope this helps,
Reuben
