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:

Can anyone clarify if this is a suitable fix?
