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

Thanks, but same thing there.

There must be something fundamentally wrong with Squid. I am certain I have
been able to see some feedback at the command line when running STABLE9.

Anyway, it does seem to run, but now I have a problem with using a cache_dir
other than the default.

I have a separate SCSI drive (/dev/sdb) which I have mounted as:
/dev/sdb1 /mnt/cache.

I have set the owner and group to squid and I am getting "permission denied"
in cache.log trying to start it. OK, cache directories aren't created, so I
do squid -z and get NOTHING at all, just back to prompt. Doesn't tell me
there that permission is denied, but it must be.....

I had this issue once before but I am unable to replicate the fix. I know
it was suggested to me that mount points take root as owner so it needs to
be changed to squid and squid. Somehow I resolved this last time but I am
having no luck this time.

I have manually mounted the cache_dir so far, but can you set owner of EXT3
mount point in fstab? I don't know if that will make a difference right now
as I have set this and am getting denied anyway.

Any ideas on what I can do here? Do I need to blow Squid away and start
over?

Thanks for your help.

Geoff
