Hi all

I have just finished installing suse 10 , but when trying to start squid I get the following error:

/etc/init.d/squid start returned 1 (unspecified error): Starting WWW-proxy squid (/var/cache/squid) - Could not create cache_dir ! ..failed

I have checked to see if the folder is there and it is.

Could anyone advise me on this?

Does the user as which squid runs have permission to write to that directory? yes the user (squid) has write permission to the folder
