Squid won't start --
|

| Hi all,
Okay, it's been a LONG time since I stopped and restarted our squid
service, so I did it yesterday -- and it won't start back up.
Here's the error we're getting in /var/log/messages:
Mar 1 08:13:45 PROXY squid[20257]: Squid Parent: child process 20294
started
Mar 1 08:13:45 PROXY (squid): failed to find or read error text file.
Mar 1 08:13:45 PROXY squid[20257]: Squid Parent: child process 20294
exited due to signal 6
Mar 1 08:13:45 PROXY squid[20257]: Exiting due to repeated, frequent
failures
This is on Red Hat 7.1 on Alpha and Squid Cache: Version 2.4.STABLE6.
When I run 'service squid start' it says okay, but after that running
'service squid status' I get the following:
# service squid status
squid dead but subsys locked
squid: ERROR: No running copy
There is no squid.pid file anywhere, so it's not something as simple as
removing the pid file and continuing.
Suggestions? Thanks for any help or assistance.

Here's what I'm getting in /var/log/squid/cache.log
2005/03/01 08:19:02| Starting Squid Cache version 2.4.STABLE6 for

Is it erroring out on loading the file
'/etc/squid/errors/ERR_READ_TIMEOUT' ? What's supposed to be in this
file if so? I touched it and tried to start squid again, but no dice.
Thanks for any insight or ideas..

You may have deleted the link at some point. On my Whitebox system,
/etc/squid/errors is actually a link to /usr/share/squid/errors/English.
Start with that.

| Hi Rich,
Actually you were correct. After reviewing the error messages in more
detail and checking the squid site I found that the errors directory
was either supposed to be linked to /usr/lib/squid/errors/English or
the files copied from this directory to /etc/squid/errors. At any
rate, the files in English were gone -- not sure how or why... so I
copied the French files over to /etc/squid/errors/ and it worked.
Squid started fine and is running okay, though any errors are in French
instead of English 
I'll get on another box and copy the English errors later, but it's up
and running now.
Thanks for the feedback and info - you hit it right on
Ringo
