The above is usually the result of a misconfiguration or mismanagement: 
There are two processes trying to listen on the same port 8080. That 
could be two Squid worker processes or a Squid worker process competing 
with a non-Squid process.

* If your Squid startup scripts include preliminary steps like "squid 
-z", then make sure those scripts wait for that first Squid instance to 
exit before starting the primary Squid instance.

* If you are using SMP macros or conditionals in squid.conf, please 
share your Squid configuration.
