[squid-users] How to upgrade correctly?

[Amos Jeffries]

You should only need to:

  * stop squid

  * backup your existing installation (as mentioned by Eliezer)

  * install the current Debian "squid-openssl" package

  * run "squid -k parse" to check for squid.conf settings upgrade

  * manually check what "/opt/squid/var" was being used for;
     - any configuration related files need to be updated to the 
/etc/squid system location.
     - any logs etc in there being used by scripts or non-squid other 
software need those third-party code to be updated to the new squid 
default log locations.

  * start squid
