We have upgraded a squid proxy server from a previous version of Ubuntu (Can't recall what it was sorry) to version 14.04.2. Now it appears Squid will not start / VM's can not reach internet through proxy. I noticed there maybe an issue with services when moving from CLI to Webmin and i saw i could "Start Service" I clicked this and got the error
Failed to start Squid :
squid3 start/running, process 12431
Moved back to the CLI and ran sudo service squid start and got the following:
squid3 start/running, process 12637
So … Is it running? Why is webmin showing to start the service…
Saw some forums online to restart the service tis didn't help. Running service squid3 status shows:
MGT-VM-PRX:/var/log/squid3$ service squid3 status
squid3 stop/waiting
Has anyone noticed this or know what has changed by upgrade?
I can also see that there are two services under a ps -aux | grep squid and squid3
Have just checked logs /var/log/squid3/cache.log.1 and the issues seems to the service not starting / working as logs stopped on the 19th when issues are being discovered.
UPDATE
Fixed by removing the line : acl manager proto cache_object
from
# Recommended minimum configuration:
#
acl manager proto cache_object
acl localhost src 127.0.0.1/32 ::1
acl to_localhost dst 127.0.0.0/8 0.0.0.0/32 ::1
Run the following:
azzurri@MGT-VM-PRX:~$ squid3 -k parse

All seem's ok for now, but i'm not sure what this does? Can anyone clarify if this is a suitable fix?
Best Answer
Have you run syntax check
squid3 -k check? If you know the previous version, taking a look at change log might help or the current config review with http://www.squid-cache.org/Doc/config/, there may be directives which might have been depreciated in the version - squid upgraded to.
