Thank you for reporting this to Ubuntu. I'm moving this to the squid package for triage.

[Evgeniy (edgecrus)]

issue was resolved with chmod 777 for /var/log folder and after that debug mode was started and service started too!

After chmod i implement chown to folder with root:root and no further problems were found, so SQUID is now working and configured successfully. Proxy server tested with 2 PCs(one with Wi-fi adapter) acording to acl all resolved.

Thank you for your unswer! Micah

This was fixed by the "squid" binary package built from squid3 sources in Ubuntu Xenial and later.
