Not able to create swap directories

[logaraman]

I ahve installed RHEL 4 on a server and am configuring squid .. I am unable to create the swap directories using squid -z . when the cmd is executed it comes back to hash prompt with no outputs.. Also in the messages log i found the below error while trying to start the squid.

"Aug 3 09:59:58 IC-PROXY-03 squid[4875]: Squid Parent: child process 4877 starte

Any sugestions please

Looks like you have selinux enabled.
I suggest you to disable it:

edit the file /etc/selinux/config
and change
SELINUX=enforced to SELINUX=disabled
after that reboot your machine and tell us what's going on.
