Aaarrgh! I've been working on getting a squid box up and running
(2.6_STABLE19) and using squidguard as a redirect program. I haven't
even been able to t-shoot squidguard yet as I can't even get Squid to
start. It fails to start no matter what. My config is a pretty
simple one. Default ACLs and default listen port. When I try to
start, it first told me that I needed a visibile_hostname parameter.
Weird, because as I understand it... This is an optional field.
optional only if DNS is working properly. If a DNS failure or kernel
hostname lookup occurs during startup, this be seen.
So I
added a hostname and tried to start squid again. It hangs for a while
then says it's a no go. I do a debug on the startup and below is the
info I get. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance for the help.

Here's a few avenues of attack that error implies:
- is the file system full or nearly full?
- are you starting squid as root and letting it do its own permissions
properly?
- does the new squid have the same user/group privileges as the old one?
- do the swap.state file and associated caches have the right user/group
permissions for squid?
