[squid-users] FATAL: getpwnam failed to find userid for effective user 'squid'

[SND Tecnologia - Administração]

Hey guys

I'm a newbie.
Sorry if this is a common problem.
Please, provide me the a way to resolve.

I'm getting the following message when starting squid:


root at fwhcr:/etc/squid# systemctl stop squid.service
root at fwhcr:/etc/squid# systemctl start squid.service
Job for squid.service failed because the control process exited with error
code.
See "systemctl status squid.service" and "journalctl -xeu squid.service"
for details.
