As you already said that your first problem is solved but now you are facing problem of "Permission denied" whenever you try to run squid with "-z" directive.
..

I have already answered that in another post but for you I am copying it from there to here..

This is the permission problem, You have to make squid as the owner of the cache directory then have to give proper permission to them. It is like this.
Say we have a user squid of group squid..

Code: [Select]


chown squid:squid <ur cache directory>

then set permission to read, write execute to group and user..

Code: [Select]


chmod 770 <ur cache dir>

Then initialize chaze using -z

Also then you have to set same permission for log directory of squid ie.. /usr/local/squid/var/log [/b] !

BTW. I have also given more details over here --> Squid proxy cache permission

answer to ur first question is that..

when you use command to stop squid then it takes time to shutdown and you think its not going to stop but it takes time .. just try again and wait for 4-5 minz , it will be shutdown in one command.

For second one, you need add line in rc.local !
you might be starting squid with /usr/local/squid/sbin/squid !

just add following in rc.local

Code: [Select]

/usr/local/squid/sbin -D

About first question...

Everytime squid starts, it checks for internet connectivity by testing the DNS server. The "-D" stops it from checking DNS servers. I mentioned to use "-D" as many people are on dialup etc which is only connected when your OS is started properly but if you are on LAN or someother internet which starts as soon as your NIC start then it will still work without "-D".

About your second question...
Kindly start new topic for it as its totally different from this quesition.
