What did you set cache_effective_user to?. if you have set that to
nobody you need to chown your cache directories to the same. The
"No such file or directory" error, im not sure what would cause that,
usually that happens if you specify an alternative logging directory
and don't physically create it..

I'd say make sure that all your directories exist (logs/cache)
and check the permissions on /usr/local/squid/* , Its safe to have
/usr/local/squid/bin,etc owned by root, but you should have the "cache" and
"logs" directories owned by cache_effective_user.

You could also try "touching" all the relevent logs files to make sure
they exist, although im sure that's not necessary.

anyone feel free to contradict should I be incorrect.
