Re: [squid-users] Need help. Squid won't start

I figured out what was happening. I ended up doing a chown to the
squid user on those files. Now I'm having another issue. None of the
sites that I have blacklists for under squidguard are being blocked.
I see the 4 processes running along side squid, but nothing is being
block. Even the expression filters in the squid config are being
ignored.
