Just check owner of /var/spool/squid directory
it must be squid
if not change the owner like this
#chown squid:squid /var/spool/squid
After that , Just run this command (Important Step)
#restorecon -R /var/spool/squid
Just restart the service of squid
#service squid restart
It will definitly run,If still u will face any problem,let me know
Cheers
Gaurav

its very common error,
goto /usr/local/squid/sbin/squid and delete every dir. and file under it then change the permission and ownership.
I assume that squid has a usergroup as squid and a user squid.
--- Code: ---chown squid:squid /path/to/cache
chmod 770 /path/to/cache
--- End code ---

hi ricky
ther is no directory named squid" under " cd /usr/local/squid/sbin/ ...it has a file named squid ....thus nothing is ther to remove ...
so i tried the commands which are suggested by u......under the dirrectory /usr/local/squid/sbin/ ....then it says an error messages
[root@localhost sbin]# chown squid:squid /path/to/cache
chown: cannot access `/path/to/cache': No such file or directory
[root@localhost sbin]# chmod 770 /path/to/cache
chmod: cannot access `/path/to/cache': No such file or directory
thus how can i overcome this problem? ....
thanking u ...
