Re: [squid-users] I have problem with start squid?

Messages about Squid are best left on the Squid-users list so others
might learn from the discussion.

Looks like Squid is already running. Stop it. And restart it.

Don't do that. Squid should have an effective GID and UID of something
other than root (Red Hat packages use squid:squid, and this is a good
choice--some others like to use nobody:nogroup). I think it will refuse
to operate as root (and with good reason).

Just be sure all cache directories have the user:group for their owners.
