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 2015/06/22 12:38:08| Startup: Initializing Authentication Schemes ... 2015/06/22 12:38:08| Startup: Initialized Authentication Scheme 'basic' 2015/06/22 12:38:08| Startup: Initialized Authentication Scheme 'digest' 2015/06/22 12:38:08| Startup: Initialized Authentication Scheme 'negotiate' 2015/06/22 12:38:08| Startup: Initialized Authentication Scheme 'ntlm' 2015/06/22 12:38:08| Startup: Initialized Authentication. 2015/06/22 12:38:08| Processing Configuration File: /etc/squid3/squid.conf (depth 0) 2015/06/22 12:38:08| Processing: acl manager proto cache_object 2015/06/22 12:38:08| aclParseAclLine: ACL 'manager' already exists with different type.

CPU Usage: 0.007 seconds = 0.003 user + 0.003 sys Maximum Resident Size: 20496 KB Page faults with physical i/o: 0 

All seem's ok for now, but i'm not sure what this does? Can anyone clarify if this is a suitable fix?

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.

    as per the doc the recommended config section directives are all build in (3.3) so no need to mention them. Remove was the fix, you already done. Commented Jun 22, 2015 at 12:10
