This is, of course defined by the squid.conf. RedHat's default
squid.conf uses squid.

To the original poster: One nice thing about RedHat's init script is
that it will create the cache directories defined in squid.conf
automatically. Run...

rm -rf /usr/local/cache/* && service squid start

...and see if that fixes it. But be careful. Make sure you don't rm
-rf some other directory...
