I ran into this as well when I upgraded from 2.6 to 3.0 (stable10) and tried converting from icp to htcp in the process. Squid would start up, go for a little while, and then die in less than 2 minutes. I resolved this by adding 'no-query' to my cache_peer sibling statements (in effect, turning off intercache communication). I would like to know how best to re-enable sibling communication, and whether or not I'm in the same boat here (waiting for a bug fix). relevant portion of config... icp_port 0 htcp_port 4827 icp_query_timeout 500 cache_peer x.x.x.1 sibling 80 4827 htcp proxy-only no-query cache_peer x.x.x.2 sibling 80 4827 htcp proxy-only no-query cache_peer x.x.x.3 sibling 80 4827 htcp proxy-only no-query acl siblings src x.x.x.1 x.x.x.2 x.x.x.3 http_access allow siblings htcp_access allow siblings htcp_access deny all cache.log from that time - notice the "neighborsUdpPing: There is no ICP socket!" towards the end...that's where Squid would die, and try to revive itself, but never really get airborne squid[19208]: Starting Squid Cache version 3.0.STABLE10 for x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu... squid[19208]: Process ID 19208 squid[19208]: With 16384 file descriptors available squid[19208]: Performing DNS Tests... squid[19208]: Successful DNS name lookup tests... squid[19208]: DNS Socket created at 0.0.0.0, port 37033, FD 8 squid[19208]: Adding nameserver x.x.x.x from /etc/resolv.conf squid[19208]: Adding nameserver x.x.x.x from /etc/resolv.conf squid[19208]: Adding domain xxxxxx.com from /etc/resolv.conf squid[19208]: Unlinkd pipe opened on FD 13 squid[19208]: Store logging disabled squid[19208]: Swap maxSize 0 KB, estimated 0 objects squid[19208]: Target number of buckets: 0 squid[19208]: Using 8192 Store buckets squid[19208]: Max Mem size: 4194304 KB squid[19208]: Max Swap size: 0 KB squid[19208]: Using Round Robin store dir selection squid[19208]: Current Directory is /root squid[19208]: Loaded Icons. squid[19208]: Accepting accelerated HTTP connections at 0.0.0.0, port 80, FD 11. squid[19208]: Accepting HTCP messages on port 4827, FD 12. squid[19208]: Accepting SNMP messages on port 3401, FD 14. squid[19208]: Configuring Parent x.x.x.x /80/0 squid[19208]: Configuring Sibling x.x.x.x /80/4827 squid[19208]: Configuring Sibling x.x.x.x /80/4827 squid[19208]: Configuring Sibling x.x.x.x /80/4827 squid[19208]: Ready to serve requests. squid[19208]: Finished rebuilding storage from disk. squid[19208]: 0 Entries scanned squid[19208]: 0 Invalid entries. squid[19208]: 0 With invalid flags. squid[19208]: 0 Objects loaded. squid[19208]: 0 Objects expired. squid[19208]: 0 Objects cancelled. squid[19208]: 0 Duplicate URLs purged. squid[19208]: 0 Swapfile clashes avoided. squid[19208]: Took 0.28 seconds ( 0.00 objects/sec). squid[19208]: Beginning Validation Procedure squid[19208]: Completed Validation Procedure squid[19208]: Validated 25 Entries squid[19208]: store_swap_size = 0 squid[19208]: storeDirWriteCleanLogs: Starting... squid[19208]: Finished.
