Squid3 Squid.wrapper suggest

[plm_macports@…]

Hi,

I had a lot of problems to start Squid3 and don't understand why. I could start Squid directly with a "squid -s" but not with launchctl plist or directly with the wrapper.

The origin was that my configuration of "cache_dir" was in an other repertory than default. The wrapper test directly the "/opt/local/var/squid/cache" directory to test if cache directories exists…

So, I suggest to modify the "Squid.wrapper" script to test in "squid.conf" file if "cache_dir" is set to default.

A little bit like this:

#!/bin/bash
………
if eval grep -q '^cache_dir ' /opt/local/etc/squid/squid.conf ; then
	CacheDir="$(grep '^cache_dir ' /opt/local/etc/squid/squid.conf | awk '{ print $3 }')"
else
	CacheDir="/opt/local/var/squid/cache"
fi
………
Start()
{
	cd /opt/local/var/squid
	if [ ! -d "${CacheDir}/00" ]; then
	    /opt/local/sbin/squid -s -z
	fi
	/opt/local/sbin/squid -s
}
………

Best regards

The startupitem no longer tries to create the cache dirs as of squid4.
