Hi Wilson Check that your cache_dir is not too big ? (cache_dir diskd /var/spool/squid 20000 32 256) Let us know what you have as your configs for this? If it runs out of space it will crash all the time Regards Andrew Loughnan Computer Services Manager St Joseph's College 135 Aphrasia Street Newtown Vic 3220 E: andrewl@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx P/h: (03) 5226-8165 M: 0412-523-011 Fax:(03) 5221-6983 -----Original Message----- From: Wilson Hernandez - MSD, S.

I noticed that when the cache directory fills up, squid stops caching, it only allows communication through with the messenger and users start getting the unable to redirect message on the browser. If I delete the directory and create it again squid -z then everything works fine.
