I have windows xp sp3
I did squid -i then it said start it in the applet.
So I went to services.msc and tried to start it
It said
could not start the squid service error 1067
I did squid -X it said
looked up FATAL in squid -X, said CACHE directory not created
FATAL: cache_dir c:/squid/var/cache: (2) No such file or directory
Squid Cache (Version 2.7.STABLE8): Terminated abnormally.
So I created c:\squid\var\cache
(The instructions on the windows squid site had said check that all directories mentioned in squid.conf exist..if not create them. I noticed one cache one didn't exist. So anyhow, I created it.
Then I tried to start it, it took ages gave this error and just says "starting" not started.
error 1053 The service did not respond to the start or control request in a a timely fashion
so, I did squis -X and at the end it said

Then I tried saying

It still didn't work. Squid -X said
