    I have had problems starting squid on my pfSense 1.2 box.

    After searching the forums I have fixed various issues by:

    • uninstalling the package, manually cleaning the warnings, and reinstalling
    • manually changing owner:group of /var/squid/cache
    • manually changing owner:group of /usr/local/etc/squid
    • manually running "squid -z"
    • manually removing two lines quick_abort_min and quick_abort_max from /usr/local/etc/squid/squid.conf
    • manually adding two lines quick_abort_min and quick_abort_max with the squid default of 16 KB

    Now it still wont start but the symptom is:

    • /var/log/system.log reports started child process <some pid="">- /var/squid/log/cache.log reports started process <some other="" pid="">and Ready to receive requests.
    • BUT a "ps ax" shows that none of those <pid>s are active…

    Argh!</pid></some></some>

      Had the same problem and lost several hours, but finally found a "fix".

      Going to Proxy server > Traffic management and clicking on "Save" does the trick.
      After that I am able to start and use squid.

      Hope this helps.

        Yes and check the "Allow users on interface" option.

          Thanks romany. That has done the trick. For good measure I have gone thru every proxy server settings page and pressed save.
          Relief!!1!one!  :D
