this means that there is already an existing .pid file (pid stands for
process id (or so i think)) which is used to identify a running process.
you could try removing this file explicitly and try running squid again.
stale .pid files usually occur when the system is not shut down
properly, or the program that owns the .pid file inadvertently died on
itself, not allowing it to cleanup and remove the file.
