Squid-novm not starting (Linux 5.2)
Peter Iannacchione
Everything WAS working fine... On Dec 15 squid quit working??? After much
investigation I have found the following:
DNS server queries work. (i.e. nslookup works fine)
dnsserver queries work (i.e. echo oceana.nlanr.net | /usr/bin/dnsserver
yields correct results)

Now I've tried everything I know. However, something is strange to me in
that I cannot ping my localhost ,eth0, or eth1 ip addresses??? I can ping
everyone else in the world including my router!
The ping on localhost just sits there (forever).
The ping on eth0 and eth1 keep telling me "Network is unreachable"
I must have altered a setting that didn't expose itself until a system
reboot.
Can anyone give me some leads on where to go from here? Like I said, it was
working???
Thanks in advance.

This is most likely your problem. What do you get from
ifconfig lo0

First of all, I think you ought to work with a current Squid version, 2.2.x.
You can probably rebuild the RPM for Red Hat 6.1, which is for 2.2.STABLE4,
not the latest (which is 2.2.STABLE5) but better than what you have.
cheers,

their FAQ knowledge...
First off the "ifconfig lo0" needs to be "ifconfig lo" for Redhat (????)
The "ifconfig lo" yielded the following:
-----------------------------------------------------
[root@vmisrv1 /etc]# ifconfig lo
lo Link encap:Local Loopback
inet addr:127.0.0.1 Bcast:127.255.255.255 Mask:255.0.0.0
EtherTalk Phase 2 addr:0/0
BROADCAST LOOPBACK MTU:3584 Metric:1
RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0
-----------------------------------------------------
I removed the broadcast address only because none of the docs show a
broadcast address..
The obvious that I didn't notice was that the lo interface wasn't UP???
Duane noticed right off. That's why I never showed a route using
"netstat -r" (and couldn't add one either).
Anyway, did an "ifconfig lo up" and then a "route add 127.0.0.1" and was
able to get my ping from "ping localhost". Duane had mentioned that squid
MUST have localhost configured properly to start.
I cleared the squid processes and restarted and everything's running great
again!!
You can see the difference on the ifconfig below.
-----------------------------------------------------
[root@vmisrv1 squid]# ifconfig lo
lo Link encap:Local Loopback
inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0
EtherTalk Phase 2 addr:0/0
UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:3584 Metric:1
RX packets:47 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:47 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0
-----------------------------------------------------
Why the lo interface went down and dissappeared from the routing table is
still a mistery...
Many thanks to those that replied. Maybe I can help someone in the new
year...

any Linux distribution, actually.
what I'm wondering is where did this come from:
> EtherTalk Phase 2 addr:0/0
I haven't seen that on any Linux I've worked on...

school stuffed with Macintosh's. It's compiled into the Redhat kernel so
it's fairly easy to add in using the HowTo's.
