Sorry, I cannot give you the exact steps to prevent two Squids from 
running on your server -- there are too many unknowns for me to do that.

If you have a Squid instance running, you should stop it before starting 
another Squid instance. You can check whether you have a Squid instance 
running using "ps aux | fgrep squid" or a similar basic command.
