Description of problem: When squid is configured to run in SMP mode, it needs to create socket files on /var/run/squid. This directory must exist and be writable to the squid service user. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 3.3.x/3.4.x Tested with squid-3.3.12-1.fc19.x86_64 but it looks the same problem should happen with the latest f20 package. Also tested with squid-3.4.3 using unofficial packages from squid-cache.org under centos 6.5. How reproducible: Allways Steps to Reproduce: 1. Configure squid to run in SMP mode. Add to /etc/squid/squid.conf workers 2 2. Start squid. You'll see errors such as 2014/05/21 12:12:52 kid1| commBind: Cannot bind socket FD 13 to [::]: (13) Permission denied on /var/log/squid/cache.og Actual results: Squid does not accept http requests, does not liste in port 3128 Expected results: Squid accepts http requests and fetches the requested urls Additional info: I solved the problem creating /var/run/squid, changing group to "squid" and enabling write access to the file group. This is not enough to make squid run in SMP mode. There are still SELinux AVCs, I opened bug #1099543 for those.
