Installation and Upgrades / Http Proxy squid does not start on boot: DNS name lookup tests failed

« on: January 07, 2011, 06:31:23 pm »

Hi,
I'm running a fresh install of the Zentyal 2 (Core 2.0.13) on Ubuntu Server 10.04 LTS but the http proxy does not start on boot.

I have found this error on /var/log/squid/cache.log:

Performing DNS Tests...
FATAL: ipcache_init: DNS name lookup tests failed

In SquidFaq i have found:

http://wiki.squid-cache.org/SquidFaq/TroubleShooting#FATAL:_ipcache_init:_DNS_name_lookup_tests_failed

   "{i} (!) This issue is now permanently resolved in Squid 3.1 and later.

Squid normally tests your system's DNS configuration before it starts server requests. Squid tries to resolve some common DNS names, as defined in the dns_testnames configuration directive. If Squid cannot resolve these names, it could mean:

    * your DNS nameserver is unreachable or not running.
    * your System is in the process of booting
    * your /etc/resolv.conf file may contain incorrect information.
    * your /etc/resolv.conf file may have incorrect permissions, and may be unreadable by Squid.

To disable this feature, use the -D command line option. Due to this issue displaying on Boot. Is is highly recommended that OS startup scripts for Squid earlier than 3.1 use this option to disable tests.

Note, Squid does NOT use the dnsservers to test the DNS. The test is performed internally, before the dnsservers start. ' "

Where I include this option -D in squid?

PS.:
My WAN is PPPoE
Squid 2.7.STABLE7

Thanks,
