Re: [squid-users] squid in port 80 , not running

You need to use

http_port 80

and then make sure squid is started as root, with cache_effective_user
set in the squid.conf to run as something non-root.

A few systems actually run squid itself as a non-root user, and obviously
this means you can't bind to port 80. Check the init script. :)
