I had the mime_table commented out, so I uncommented it, pointed it to the correct file, and replaced in mime.conf "+download" with "+view"...it seems to have fixed the problem for the time being. Also, please disregard all my other messages (epoll, cachemgr, etc) - all is well now. Well, except for peering...I don't think my all-sibling setup is doing a damn thing. I'm going to try eliminating peering and then leave this cluster alone for awhile.

Since my name is nobody : ---------------------------------------------- From squid.conf.default : # TAG: mime_table # Pathname to Squid's MIME table. You shouldn't need to change # this, but the default file contains examples and formatting # information if you do. # #Default: # mime_table /etc/squid/mime.conf So it's highly unlikely that SQUID does not use this info for 'http' operations. Are you using the default setting for this value , and or is the specified file readable by squid_effective_user ? M.
