While starting Squid on "cmd" it gives a "System error 1067 has occurred"

I am trying to use Squid's (its 2.7STABLE8 version) reverse proxy service on Windows 7. When I try to start squid from "cmd" (as administrator) I get an error message such as;

"The Squid service could not be started

A system error has occurred

System error 1067 has occurred message

The process terminated unexpectedly"

Thanks

Solution

  • I checked my cache.log file, and it was reporting to;

    "FATAL: ipcache_init: DNS name lookup tests failed"

    Therefore, in the squid.conf file I set my dns_testname to;

    "dns_testnames 0.0.0.0"

    and it solved my problem.
