I've installed squid 3.0 STABLE10 on OpenSuse 11.1 64 Bit. Some seconds after starting I get the following message in cache.log and squid doesnt work: 2009/03/11 22:30:25| icmpRecv: recv: (111) Connection refused 2009/03/11 22:30:25| Closing Pinger socket on FD 43 Here the beginning of my squid.conf: http_port 3128 cache_peer 127.0.0.1 parent 9080 0 no-query default no-digest #cache_peer 127.0.0.1 parent 9080 0 no-query default no-digest no-netdb-exchange #query_icmp off hierarchy_stoplist cgi_bin ? acl QUERY urlpath_regex cgi-bin \? no_cache deny QUERY cache_mem 8 MB url_rewrite_program /usr/sbin/squidGuard -c /etc/squidguard.conf url_rewrite_children 8 auth_param ntlm program /usr/sbin/ntlm_auth ba.lokal/sbs auth_param ntlm children 10 auth_param basic program /usr/sbin/ntlm_auth ba.lokal/sbs auth_param basic children 10 auth_param basic realm Gatekeper auth_param basic credentialsttl 4 hours auth_param basic casesensitive off authenticate_cache_garbage_interval 1 hour authenticate_ttl 0 seconds authenticate_ip_ttl 4 hours Here the complete cache.log: 2009/03/11 22:30:05| Starting Squid Cache version 3.0.STABLE13 for x86_64-suse-linux-gnu... 2009/03/11 22:30:05| Process ID 24542 2009/03/11 22:30:05| With 4096 file descriptors available 2009/03/11 22:30:05| DNS Socket created at 0.0.0.0, port 50495, FD 7 2009/03/11 22:30:05| Adding domain ba.lokal from /etc/resolv.conf 2009/03/11 22:30:05| Adding nameserver 192.168.1.1 from /etc/resolv.conf 2009/03/11 22:30:05| helperOpenServers: Starting 8 'squidGuard' processes 2009/03/11 22:30:05| helperStatefulOpenServers: Starting 10 'ntlm_auth' processes 2009/03/11 22:30:05| helperOpenServers: Starting 10 'ntlm_auth' processes 2009/03/11 22:30:05| User-Agent logging is disabled. 2009/03/11 22:30:05| Referer logging is disabled. 2009/03/11 22:30:05| Unlinkd pipe opened on FD 39 2009/03/11 22:30:05| Local cache digest enabled; rebuild/rewrite every 3600/3600 sec 2009/03/11 22:30:05| Swap maxSize 102400 KB, estimated 7876 objects 2009/03/11 22:30:05| Target number of buckets: 393 2009/03/11 22:30:05| Using 8192 Store buckets 2009/03/11 22:30:05| Max Mem size: 8192 KB 2009/03/11 22:30:05| Max Swap size: 102400 KB 2009/03/11 22:30:05| Version 1 of swap file without LFS support detected... 2009/03/11 22:30:05| Rebuilding storage in /var/cache/squid (DIRTY) 2009/03/11 22:30:05| Using Least Load store dir selection 2009/03/11 22:30:05| Set Current Directory to /var/cache/squid 2009/03/11 22:30:05| Loaded Icons. 2009/03/11 22:30:05| Accepting HTTP connections at 0.0.0.0, port 3128, FD 41. 2009/03/11 22:30:05| HTCP Disabled. 2009/03/11 22:30:05| Pinger socket opened on FD 43 2009/03/11 22:30:05| Configuring Parent 127.0.0.1/9080/0 2009/03/11 22:30:05| Ready to serve requests. 2009/03/11 22:30:05| Done reading /var/cache/squid swaplog (39 entries) 2009/03/11 22:30:05| Finished rebuilding storage from disk. 2009/03/11 22:30:05| 39 Entries scanned 2009/03/11 22:30:05| 0 Invalid entries. 2009/03/11 22:30:05| 0 With invalid flags. 2009/03/11 22:30:05| 39 Objects loaded. 2009/03/11 22:30:05| 0 Objects expired. 2009/03/11 22:30:05| 0 Objects cancelled. 2009/03/11 22:30:05| 0 Duplicate URLs purged. 2009/03/11 22:30:05| 0 Swapfile clashes avoided. 2009/03/11 22:30:05| Took 0.02 seconds (2285.11 objects/sec). 2009/03/11 22:30:05| Beginning Validation Procedure 2009/03/11 22:30:05| Completed Validation Procedure 2009/03/11 22:30:05| Validated 103 Entries 2009/03/11 22:30:05| store_swap_size = 588 2009/03/11 22:30:06| storeLateRelease: released 0 objects 2009/03/11 22:30:25| icmpRecv: recv: (111) Connection refused 2009/03/11 22:30:25| Closing Pinger socket on FD 43 2009/03/11 23:10:05| NETDB state saved; 0 entries, 0 msec 2009/03/11 23:57:09| NETDB state saved; 0 entries, 0 msec The following things I tried: Installing squid3 STABLE13 as root -> it doesnt help Removing the line cache_peer from squid.config -> that helps but I need the second transparent proxy against virus Reading and testing all in the mailing list -> nothing helps Searching google -> no help After many, many hours of seeking and trying I believe I'll get crazy. Perhaps anybody has a solution or can help to find it. Regards, Peter
