I'm trying to implement a Squid proxy in a quick and easy fashion and I'm receiving some errors I have been unable to resolve. The box is a pre-made appliance, however it seems to fail on launch.The following is the cache.log file when I attempt to launch the squid service.

The "permission denied" area is where I have been focusing my attention with no luck. The following is what I've tried.

• Chmod'ing the /opt/squidguard/bin folder to 777
• Changing the user that squidguard runs under to root / nobody / www-data / squid3
• Tried changing ownership of the /opt/squidguard/bin folder to all names listed above after assigning that user to run with squid.

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
