Squid doesn't start

Support knowledgebase (bb_squid)
Applies to

SuSE Linux: All versions

Symptom:

The proxy server squid doesn't start.

Cause:

The computer doesn't have any access to a domainserver.

Solution:

The SQUID tries to find a DNS server during the start. The computer must therefore have access to a nameserver (e.g. on a ISDN link). If this isn't the case, squid can be kept away with the parameter '-D' from addressing a DNS server soon at the start.
