[squid-users] squid: ERROR: No running copy

Hi!

I am running Squid 2.5 stable with Linux 9 and, since I used the "-k
reconfigure" option,
squid don´t run nevermore... squid: ERROR: No running copy

I have read from FAQ this solution:
<..>
11.43. squid: ERROR: no running copy
You may get this message when you run commands like squid -krotate.
This error message usually means that the squid.pid file is missing.
Since the PID file is normally present when squid is running, the
absence of the PID file usually means Squid is not running. If you
accidentally delete the PID file, Squid will continue running, and you
won't be able to send it any signals.
If you accidentally removed the PID file, there are two ways to get it
back.
1. run ps and find the Squid process id. You'll probably see two
processes, like this:
bender-wessels % ps ax | grep squid
83617 ?? Ss 0:00.00 squid -s
83619 ?? S 0:00.48 (squid) -s (squid)
You want the second process id, 83619 in this case. Create the PID
file and put the process id number there. For example:
echo 83619 > /usr/local/squid/logs/squid.pid
2. Use the above technique to find the Squid process id. Send the
process a HUP signal, which is the same as squid -kreconfigure:
kill -HUP 83619
The reconfigure process creates a new PID file automatically.
11.44. FATAL: getgrnam failed to find groupid for effective group
'nogroup'
You are probably starting Squid as root. Squid is trying to find a
group-id that doesn't have any special priveleges that it will run as.
The default is nogroup, but this may not be defined on your system.
You need to edit squid.conf and set cache_effective_group to the name
of an unpriveledged group from /etc/group. There is a good chance
that nobody will work for you.

But I don´t have the process up and, therefore, I can´t create the PID
file and put the process id number there...
Any idea?
Thanks
