[squid-users] Need help starting squid..

I have installed Redhat 9 system with squid-2.5.STABLE1-2.
While starting squid i am getting following errors.

#service squid start
init_cache_dir /var/spool/squid... /etc/init.d/squid: line 162: 1806
Aborted
              $SQUID -z -F -D 2>/dev/null
Starting squid: /etc/init.d/squid: line 162: 1807 Aborted
$SQUID $SQUID_OPTS 2>/dev/null
[FAILED]

#squid -z
FATAL: Could not determine fully qualified hostname. Please set
'visible_hostname'

Squid Cache (Version 2.5.STABLE1): Terminated abnormally.
CPU Usage: 0.010 seconds = 0.010 user + 0.000 sys
Maximum Resident Size: 0 KB

Can anyone help me in starting squid? I am a newbie and just now learing
Linux :-)

I have setup the hostname as linuxbox. My machine is not directly to net nor
it is having public ip.

Waiting 4 reply
