This is what I see:

Is that ok?
Uh, it should be, but just to be safe, as root:
chmod 755 /var/spool/squid [Did that]
And can you include the line that starts with "cache_dir" from your
/etc/squid/squid.conf file?
All I see with cache_dir are commented?
less /etc/squid/squid.conf | grep cache_dir
# Applies to any cache_dir lines listed below this.

Oh, yikes! Ok, uncomment the line I marked above and retry the
"squid -z" or "service squid restart".
Note that the line above will result in a 100MB cache, so make sure
the /var filesystem has at least 120MB free. Check free space via
the "df -h /var" command. On my system:
[root@prophead ~]# df -h /var
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda5 4.0G 653M 3.1G 18% /var
so I have 3.1G free.
Ok, I fixed the line in squid.conf and then:
squid -z
FATAL: Could not determine fully qualified hostname. Please set
'visible_hostname'
Squid Cache (Version 2.6.STABLE16): Terminated abnormally.
CPU Usage: 0.005 seconds = 0.003 user + 0.002 sys
Maximum Resident Size: 0 KB

I think the configuration file is hopelessly messed up and it's
comprised of a "zillion" lines!
I think the best thing to do is yum remove squid and hope that it gets
everything, then reinstall squid.
I didn't have this much trouble initially on the two computers I
installed it in.
I thank you for your help.
