I've spent the past 2 days attempt an install of squid caching proxy on my hostgator vps.

I've gotten all the way up to the point where I turn the squid service on and always end up with the same issue "ipcCreate: /usr/lib/squid/ncsa_auth: (13) Permission denied" in the squid log.

Here is the log from squid itself:

I am logged in as root when I attempt to load squid.

Server is running CentOS 5.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I have it configure to only allow access through an ncsa login.

** I'm running the latest compiled version of squid proxy v3.1.1
 


They probably have something setup so you can't setup squid on their service. Go buy a fucking cheap VPS with like 128 mb ram.
 
Actually hostgator was pretty passive about it. Basically they said they don't offer support for 3rd party software on the VPS yet, but that technically there is no reason it shouldn't work.
