RE: [squid-users] Error 1067 when starting service in Windows 2003 Server

In case you didn't install squid in c:\squid: Did you run 'squid -O "-f d:\path\to\config" -n Servicename' to tell the service where the config is?

And in addition to Guido's checks:
- Check the eventlog.

A short (and translated) version of the HOWTO for windows that I use at work:
- Download
- Install in d:\apps\squid\VERSION
- Config (we have a template that sets up basic access)
- Install service: sbin\squid -f etc\squid.conf -n "SquidVERSION" (<-- Servicename may NOT contain spaces!)
- Install cache dirs: sbin\squid -z -f etc\squid.conf -n "SquidVERSION"
- Configure service: sbin\squid -O "-f d:\apps\squid\VERSION\etc\squid.conf" -n "SquidVERSION"
- Start service
