I'll assume you've installed from an RPM, since you've described the Red
Hat style initscript startup stuff...Since that is the case, ordinarily,
nothing needs to be done to the config file to get it running (it will
automatically initialize the cache_dir on first start, and the RPM sets
up the correct directory permissions).

Since that is the case, something went wrong, somewhere, and you'll need
to track it down. The first place you'll want to look is the cache.log.
  On Red Hat systems, it lives in /var/log/squid/cache.log.

No. Squid is not the same as httpd. You Squid clearly isn't running.
You've got to find out why. If the cache.log won't tell you, there are
a few other things you can try, but I think most of them would lead to
errors on the console when running the initscript, since if Squid can't
write to the log she complains to standard out.
