Fine. I have installed SquidNT port of on my G: drive apart from the one running already. Both the Squids have different Service names under Services Applet of Windows. I have already created swap directories. (squid -z). Visible_hosname have been declared. Both are running on same machine. Both have been assigned different NIC. Both have been assigned different ports. Freshly installed Squid has been allowed access in the firewall rules. Now when I do " G:/squid/sbin/squid -f g:/xy/etc/squid.conf" I am getting following error in my cache.log : 2007/07/24 16:16:26| Starting Squid Cache version 2.6.STABLE13 for i686-pc-winnt... 2007/07/24 16:16:26| Running on Windows XP 2007/07/24 16:16:26| Process ID 2852 2007/07/24 16:16:26| With 2048 file descriptors available 2007/07/24 16:16:26| With 512 CRT stdio descriptors available 2007/07/24 16:16:26| Windows sockets initialized 2007/07/24 16:16:26| Using select for the IO loop 2007/07/24 16:16:26| Performing DNS Tests... 2007/07/24 16:16:26| Successful DNS name lookup tests... 2007/07/24 16:16:26| DNS Socket created at 0.0.0.0, port 4199, FD 4 2007/07/24 16:16:26| Adding nameserver xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx from Registry 2007/07/24 16:16:26| Adding nameserver xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx from Registry 2007/07/24 16:16:26| Adding nameserver 218.248.255.177 from Registry 2007/07/24 16:16:26| User-Agent logging is disabled. 2007/07/24 16:16:26| Referer logging is disabled. 2007/07/24 16:16:26| ipcCreate: CHILD: g:/squid/libexec/unlinkd.exe: (2) No such file or directory 2007/07/24 16:16:26| ipcCreate: PARENT: OK read test failed 2007/07/24 16:16:26| --> read returned 4 2007/07/24 16:16:26| --> got 'ERR%0a' FATAL: Failed to create unlinkd subprocess Squid Cache (Version 2.6.STABLE13): Terminated abnormally. My observation: 1. There is no squid.pid file present in G:/squid/var/logs 2. unlinkd.exe exists at g:/squid/libexec/unlinkd.exe Please help why I am getting this error.

Argh !!!, this is a very important detail .... :-( >When I am already running Bofi's Squid 2.5 Stable3 on this machine, >can I runt another Squid instance under Windows with a different >service name? Yes, you can, but with the correct config. General guide lines for multiple instances: http://wiki.squid-cache.org/MultipleInstances On the Windows side, you must use two different Squid services with different service name and different command line. See -O and -n options. something like: squid -i -n squid1 -O "-f c:/squid1/etc/squid.conf" squid -i -n squid2 -O "-f c:/squid2/etc/squid.conf" Regards Guido >On 24/07/07, Santosh Rani <santoshballey@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > My try to build Squid with --enable-win32-service failed under Cygwin > > with the error; It does not recognise this directive. > > > > Regards > > > > On 23/07/07, Henrik Nordstrom <henrik@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > > On mån, 2007-07-23 at 16:05 +0530, Santosh Rani wrote: > > > > > > > Further, I wish I could automate this so that Squid under Cygwin > > > > starts on bootup. > > > > > > I think the following should work: > > > > > > Built Squid with --enable-win32-service > > > > > > Then install it as a service by using > > > > > > /path/to/sbin/squid -i > > > > > > > > > Another option is to use the service wrapper from the Windows resource > > > kit.. used that for various non-windows daemons many years ago (NT4 > > > era). > > > > > > Regards > > > Henrik > > > > > > > > - ======================================================== Guido Serassio Acme Consulting S.r.l. - Microsoft Certified Partner Via Lucia Savarino, 1 10098 - Rivoli (TO) - ITALY Tel. : +39.011.9530135 Fax. : +39.011.9781115 Email: guido.serassio@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx WWW: http://www.acmeconsulting.it/
