Hi all, Bare with me this is a bit long. I've been running production squid 2.5Stable10 on a Red Hat ES 3 platform for about two weeks now. Yesterday the server crashed and I haven't been able to find a good solution or cause for that matter. I'm hoping someone in this forum can shed some light as to why Squid crashed and what the correct resolution is. I have not been able to find a good reason or solution as to what happened. We are running Squid with Smart Filter and Heartbeat on the Linux platform quoted above. Yesterday around 2:37 Squid just stopped working. The application was in memory but was just not proxying. There was no helpful information in syslog. The only helpful information I found in Squid was in the cache.log (the details of that log are at the bottom of this post). Note however, that the failure happened at 2:37 yesterday and the last cache.log entry was 1:24. Now I did some research based on the contents of cache.log and that lead me to Squid FAQ 11.41 which doesn't solve the problem. Note that Squid is running at this time, however if I do nothing than I suppose the server will just crash again. Any thoughts, help or ideas would be appreciated. The cache.log file follows. Thanks in advance.
