I'm a bit confused, below it sounded as if you had squid starting up ok.

If you are still seeing visible_hostname errors, something is wrong with
your squid.conf and/or something is wrong with your DNS configs. Try
commenting out the visable_hostname entry, verify that /etc/resolv.conf
is correct, and add the server's ip/hostname to /etc/hosts in the format:

 	1.2.3.4	name.server.com name
