I can test it locally but it will take me couple days to get there.

Subject: [squid-users] Can't start Squid with workers via systemd on CentOS 7

I installed Squid 4.0.18 on CentOS 7 X86_84 according to http://wiki.squid-cache.org/KnowledgeBase/CentOS#Squid_Beta_release

I add a line "workers 2" to `/etc/squid/squid.conf` (just a copy of
`squid.conf.default`)
and start squid via `systemctl start squid`, It seems squid is running, except that it is not listening to the port 3128 (confirmed by netstat).

However, if I start squid in command line (`squid -sYC`), squid does listen to port 3128.

There are some differences in `/var/log/squid/cache.log` for these two
cases:

* start via `systemctl start squid`:
