AW: [squid-users] SquidNT - Running it for the first time

Try
squid -i -f f:/squid/etc/squid.conf

the -f option tells squid to use alternative config file ;)

> Squid Cache version 2.5.STABLE9-NT-CVS for i686-pc-winnt
> installed successfully as SquidNT Windows System Service.
> To run, start it from the Services Applet of Control Panel.
> Don't forget to edit squid.conf before starting it.
