I installed varnish (3.0.5) on amazon linux, but fail to start the varnish
[root@ip-172-31-10-??? sysconfig]# service varnish start Starting Varnish Cache: [FAILED] Then I try to change the default varnish vcl and try to use "varnishd -d -f /etc/sysconfig/varnish" to locate the issue with following errors
