aewhale_(AEWHC2-9105 : 10/04/07 01:23 PM : Incident created
-   I have completed the CS4 installation, and the initial startup of the Squid server, I am greeted with the following errors in the logfile.

Apr 10 07:13:52 ns3 squid: failed
Apr 10 07:13:52 ns3 squid[4339]: Squid Parent: child process 4341 started
Apr 10 07:13:52 ns3 (squid): failed to find or read error text file.

What do I need to get this working?

-   Hello Sir,

Open your configuration file and search for error_directory, check if it's
pointing to a valid location, and if the squid process has permissions to run it.

Best Regards

Now it starts. But please tell me why it is like that if I just installed
it? Is this a bug?

-   Hello sir,

Not sure, would have to see how you made the installation to check if it
happens all the time, if so, then it's possibly a bug in the package. This is
the first message I received with that problem so I cannot say for sure. If
you want to oppn a bug report please post it on our bugzilla at
http://qa.mandriva.com, this way it's really a bug it will be fixed with an
updated.

Best Regards

Tiago Souza
