Peter,
Start with a clean squid.conf, eg.. get the one that is shipped with your distrib, modify the ACL’s to allow your network range to use the proxy server.
Depending on your distribution but in the majority of them you’d start/restart squid by /etc/init.d/squid start
If its already running, try squid –k reconfigure
That will reconfigure squid on the fly.
Also, double check your cache, it should live in /var/spool/squid, if there’s nothing in there, do squid –z to create the directories.
Best of luck.

I have a problem with squid.
When I type the command service squid restart I get a response that there is no running copy. If I type service squid status the response is: Squid (pid 1599 1233 1204) is running Squid: error: no running copy
When I make changes to the squid.conf file the changes do not take effect if I restart squid, - I have to reboot.
I have seen the response in the squid faq but really do not understand how to carry out the instructions there.
Can any one help in rudimentary terms?
Peter
