No squid process ever starts. I can (and do) start it by hand with "sudo /opt/local/sbin/squid" because I need a local cache. But I haven't been able to find anything on this list or in google about how to fix it not starting from launchd. Does anyone have any hints for me?

I am sorry if this is a repeat question, I tried to search for the answer.

Surely the "tsu" command is a typo and "su" was meant in the startupitems section of the portfile. But in general, to trouble shoot problems like this, try doing manually the steps the portfile defines and see where the problem is. cd to /opt/local/var/squid Is /opt/local/var/squid/cache/00 present? then tsu -fm squid -c "exec /opt/local/sbin/squid -s -z" else su -fm squid -c "exec /opt/local/sbin/squid -s" If tsu is a type then the portfile startupitems section can be corrected so let us know. Or until then, correct that error in the wrapper file generated from the portfile. Mark startupitem.start \ "cd ${prefix}/var/squid" \ "if \[ ! -d \"${prefix}/var/squid/cache/00\" \]; then" \ "\tsu -fm squid -c \"exec ${prefix}/sbin/squid -s -z\"" \ "fi" \ "su -fm squid -c \"exec ${prefix}/sbin/squid -s\"" startupitem.stop \ "cd ${prefix}/var/squid" \ "su -fm squid -c \"exec ${prefix}/sbin/squid -k kill\""

cd to /opt/local/var/squid

Is /opt/local/var/squid/cache/00 present? then

tsu -fm squid -c "exec /opt/local/sbin/squid -s -z"

else su -fm squid -c "exec /opt/local/sbin/squid -s"

If tsu is a type then the portfile startupitems section can be corrected so let us know. Or until then, correct that error in the wrapper file generated from the portfile.

startupitem.start \ "cd ${prefix}/var/squid" \ "if \[ ! -d \"${prefix}/var/squid/cache/00\" \]; then" \ "\tsu -fm squid -c \"exec ${prefix}/sbin/squid -s -z\"" \ "fi" \ "su -fm squid -c \"exec ${prefix}/sbin/squid -s\"" startupitem.stop \ "cd ${prefix}/var/squid" \ "su -fm squid -c \"exec ${prefix}/sbin/squid -k kill\""

It doesn't say "tsu"; it says "\tsu". Presumably "\t" is meant to be a tab character. If that is valid in TCL (I don't know if it is) then there is no typo.

It also doesn't say "else" anywhere. It says: if the first cache directory does not exist, then do this one thing (presumably: set up the cache directories). Then, in any case, do this other thing (presumably: start squid).
