Hi Thomas,

when I run the service squid start it gives the following error:
        [root@localhost root]# service squid start
        Starting squid: .................... [FAILED]
        [root@localhost root]#

after I run the above command the 'messages' file gives the following:
        Dec 28 16:52:24 localhost squid[2805]: Squid Parent: child process 2823
started
        Dec 28 16:52:24 localhost squid[2805]: Squid Parent: child process 2823
exited due to signal 6
        Dec 28 16:52:27 localhost squid[2805]: Squid Parent: child process 2828
started
        Dec 28 16:52:27 localhost (squid): Could not find any nameservers. Please
check your /etc/resolv.conf file or use the 'dns_nameservers' option in
                squid.conf.
        Dec 28 16:52:27 localhost squid[2805]: Squid Parent: child process 2828
exited due to signal 6
        Dec 28 16:52:27 localhost squid[2805]: Exiting due to repeated, frequent
failures

after running the 'service squid staus' command I get the following:
        [root@localhost root]# service squid status
        squid is stopped
        squid: ERROR: No running copy
        [root@localhost root]#

Thanks.

Are there any errors during the installation of the squid rpm?
What ist the output of "/sbin/service squid start"?
What is written to "/var/log/messages" during the execution of
"/sbin/service squid start"?
What is the output of "/sbin/service squid status" after the start?

Maybe the fedora-users list would be a better place for questions like
this anyways...

Regards
