Yes: -F Don't serve any requests until store is rebuilt. My guess is that squid is trying to rebuild the store, but is too busy servicing requests. If that doesn't work, you can manually clear the cache, the store file and have squid rebuild the cache hierarchy (squid -z). Tim Rainier Information Services, Kalsec, INC "John R. Van Lanen, Network Operations - TCCSA" <VANLANEN@xxxxxxxxx> 08/29/2005 12:12 PM To squid-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx cc VANLANEN@xxxxxxxxx Subject dead squid, Still looking, Me again, sorry, my squid dies, when it does the cache.log most always shows the same last entry of Store rebuilding is 4.4% (or some other number) complete Then nothing, The Squid status shows squid dead but pid file exists, Does anyone know in ES 3 if there is a problem with processes just disappearing? I've Tryed increasing Cache_mem from 8 to 768 disabled store.log Increase ifp_redirector processes from 10 to 30. Any other settings anyone could think of? Orginally posted; I'm running Redhat ES 3.0, Running Squid Stable 2.5 ver 3 that comes with the Redhat ES 3.0 The issue I have is that squid will stop dead, Do a squid status and it shows squid dead but pid file exists squid: ERROR Could not send signal 0 to process 5530: (3) No such process, Have seen this before, restart squid or rebooting solves the issue for awhile, the 5530 number changes. Cache.log shows nothing but normal stuff. Searching the net shows others with the same issues but can't find a solution. Let me know if you can help.
