Hi all, I have 2 test squid server with ncsa authentication, the 1st server is authenticating with no problem, the 2nd server when ncsa_auth is enable it gives "page cannot be displayed" error but when I dis able the basic_auth, the pages are showing without error. below are the cache.log result: I noticed 2 error the "WARNING: Cannot run '/usr/lib/squid/ncsa_auth' process" and "WARNING: All basicauthenticator processes are busy" what seems to be the problem, how can I resolved it. 2005/06/25 09:39:11| 0 Objects expired. 2005/06/25 09:39:11| 0 Objects cancelled. 2005/06/25 09:39:11| 0 Duplicate URLs purged. 2005/06/25 09:39:11| 0 Swapfile clashes avoided. 2005/06/25 09:39:11| Took 0.3 seconds ( 75.3 objects/sec). 2005/06/25 09:39:11| Beginning Validation Procedure 2005/06/25 09:39:11| Completed Validation Procedure 2005/06/25 09:39:11| Validated 20 Entries 2005/06/25 09:39:11| store_swap_size = 96k 2005/06/25 09:39:11| storeLateRelease: released 0 objects 2005/06/25 09:39:39| WARNING: All basicauthenticator processes are busy. 2005/06/25 09:39:39| WARNING: up to 1 pending requests queued 2005/06/25 09:39:39| storeDirWriteCleanLogs: Starting... 2005/06/25 09:39:39| WARNING: Closing open FD 11 2005/06/25 09:39:39| Finished.
