in the logfile you provided (which is attached again for the record in the bug tracking software), I found these lines at the end of the first execution of squid: It seems that you first started squid with a uncorrect squid.conf and startup terminated abnormally before ownership of /var/spool/squid/ swap.state was set correctly. This can happen since squid drops root privileges late in the startup process, expecially the first time it is executed.

Hi Luigi,

The file owner for /var/spool/squid/swap.state is
root.proxy, but should probably be
proxy.proxy. The result is that squid terminates
abnormaly.

This file is not part of the squid package but is created
by the squid process itself when it first creates the
cache directory (with - z option). In a standard
installation the cache dir is automatically created at
the first run, with right owner of /var/spool/squid/
swap.state.

OK, then /var/spool/squid/swap.state has probably been
created at the end of the installation process, when
calling invoke-rc.d squid start .

Can you please provide more information on your local
install?

On my system, I have a basic standard installation, i.e.
nothing selected in the tasksel dialog, plus very few other
packages. The system has been newly installed only some
days ago, so nothing special has happend to it. I did
install squid via aptitude (only squid, nothing else in
this step) and checked its log messages
in /var/log/squid/cache.log . It told me about an abnormal
termination of squid since the permission to open (write?)
swap.state had been denied. I send you my cache.log as
attatchment.

After changing the file permission, I could start squid
manualy and didn't get no more complains.

Something else you want to know? Please tell me.

Hans
