[squid-users] SQUID refuses to listen on any TCP Port

[Eliezer Croitoru]

Hey Antony and Ben,

I have verified that the Pinger process is at fault.
I don't know if it's a bug or not.
You can disable pinger and it will work:
http://www.squid-cache.org/Doc/config/pinger_enable/

pinger_enable off

will resolve this issue.

All The Bests,
Eliezer

Without seeing the rest of your iptables rules, it's not clear whether this 
really does apply to every interface and every protocol, or whether there
are 
exception rules which over-ride this default policy rule.

However, there are quite a number of applications which will refuse to
start, 
or not operate correctly, if you do not permit loopback traffic (IPv4 as
well as 
IPv6), so this may be the cause of your problems.
