Dear Squid Folks, I have a Squid 3.0Stable1 running in a server. This version was installed with apt-get Debian package utility. So, it has worked fine until now, where I have file descriptor problems. I saw that my installation has 1024 files as max_filedescriptor, I think not much. I want to change it, but the parameter max_filedescriptor in squid.conf doesn't work (I receive an error message about unknown parameter). So, I think thah the only way is recompile with file_descriptor flag: ./configure --with-filedescriptors=8192 --prefix=/opt/squid --with-openssl --enable-ssl --disable-internal-dns --enable-async-io --enable-storeio=ufs,diskd Ok, I compiled Squid 3.0Stable10. So my question is: Could I replace directly the binary that it was generated by my compilation process and located in $SQUID_SOURCE/src/squid with my debian binary version that it's running nowadays? I have to avoid lost of service of my web. Thanks a lot! Lluís LLUÍS RIBES Laviniainteractiva www.laviniainteractiva.com T (34) 93 272 34 10 Pujades 81 Barcelona 08005 skype: lluisribesportillo
