[squid-users] Squid won't execute from command line

Hi,

I'm still pretty new at Linux so this may make sense to some of you.

I had Redhat FC3 running with Squid for testing but it was not set up as
well as it should have been. I wanted the disks used differently, etc. So
I reinstalled FC3 (K12LTSP 4.2.0). Now I am working on getting Squid set up
and I can't get ANY response from it at the command line. Therefore I can't
even create the cache_dir.

When I type "/usr/sbin/squid" with anything, -z, -v, etc I get NOTHING, just
back to the command prompt. It does try to start if I type "service squid
start", but it fails, of course. When I change the cache_dir to the default
in squid.conf, it starts from the command line by typing "squid", but I
still don't get anything from command line commands. Reconfigure seems to
be effective from command line, but no output, etc.

I don't know where to even look for a cause to this. Maybe I have some
basic configuration issue I need to fix?

Thanks,

Geoff
