Re: squid -z won't run

What a foolish reply ................
.
There is no need to put squid in your path.Just change to squid directory and
run squid -z from there.Create cache directory manually in /squid directory
and change group and ownership to "nobody" , then run it.squid -z .It will
create swap directories.You can install squid from root.Its good idea for
security.
