Your question is frequently asked:

  11.11. Cannot bind socket FD NN to *:8080 (125) Address already in
  use

  This means that another processes is already listening on port 8080
  (or whatever you're using). It could mean that you have a Squid
  process already running, or it could be from another program. To
  verify, use the netstat command:

          netstat -naf inet | grep LISTEN

  That will show all sockets in the LISTEN state. You might also try

          netstat -naf inet | grep 8080

  If you find that some process has bound to your port, but you're not
  sure which process it is, you might be able to use the excellent lsof
  <ftp://vic.cc.purdue.edu/pub/tools/unix/lsof/> program. It will show
  you which processes own every open file descriptor on your system.
