I am trying to use the Store URL Rewrite feature to allow a squid server to cache Google Earth content for a low bandwidth installation. When I make the changes in the docs (http://wiki.squid-cache.org/Features/StoreUrlRewrite), squid crashes after starting. From the log, it appears that the helper as written is causing problems. Any suggestions as to what is wrong? Here is the info that I get in the log after startup: 2009/12/17 08:42:01| Starting Squid Cache version 2.7.STABLE6 for amd64-debian-linux-gnu... 2009/12/17 08:42:01| Process ID 1691 2009/12/17 08:42:01| With 1024 file descriptors available 2009/12/17 08:42:01| Using epoll for the IO loop 2009/12/17 08:42:01| DNS Socket created at 0.0.0.0, port 56901, FD 6 2009/12/17 08:42:01| Adding domain IonaGroup.local from /etc/resolv.conf 2009/12/17 08:42:01| Adding domain IonaGroup.local from /etc/resolv.conf 2009/12/17 08:42:01| Adding nameserver 192.168.3.1 from /etc/resolv.conf 2009/12/17 08:42:01| helperOpenServers: Starting 5 'store_url_rewrite' processes /usr/local/squidhelper/store_url_rewrite: 1: $: not found /usr/local/squidhelper/store_url_rewrite: 1: =: not found /usr/local/squidhelper/store_url_rewrite: 3: Syntax error: ")" unexpected 2009/12/17 08:42:01| User-Agent logging is disabled. 2009/12/17 08:42:01| Referer logging is disabled. /usr/local/squidhelper/store_url_rewrite: 1: $: not found /usr/local/squidhelper/store_url_rewrite: 1: =: not found /usr/local/squidhelper/store_url_rewrite: 3: Syntax error: ")" unexpected /usr/local/squidhelper/store_url_rewrite: 1: $: not found 2009/12/17 08:42:01| logfileOpen: opening log /var/log/squid/access.log /usr/local/squidhelper/store_url_rewrite: 1: =: not found /usr/local/squidhelper/store_url_rewrite: 1: /usr/local/squidhelper/store_url_rewrite: 3: $: not foundSyntax error: ")" unexpected /usr/local/squidhelper/store_url_rewrite: 1: =: not found /usr/local/squidhelper/store_url_rewrite: 3: Syntax error: ")" unexpected /usr/local/squidhelper/store_url_rewrite: 1: $: not found /usr/local/squidhelper/store_url_rewrite: 1: =: not found /usr/local/squidhelper/store_url_rewrite: 3: Syntax error: ")" unexpected 2009/12/17 08:42:01| Unlinkd pipe opened on FD 16 2009/12/17 08:42:01| Swap maxSize 102400 + 8192 KB, estimated 8507 objects 2009/12/17 08:42:01| Target number of buckets: 425 2009/12/17 08:42:01| Using 8192 Store buckets 2009/12/17 08:42:01| Max Mem size: 8192 KB 2009/12/17 08:42:01| Max Swap size: 102400 KB 2009/12/17 08:42:01| Local cache digest enabled; rebuild/rewrite every 3600/3600 sec 2009/12/17 08:42:01| logfileOpen: opening log /var/log/squid/store.log 2009/12/17 08:42:01| Rebuilding storage in /var/spool/squid (DIRTY) 2009/12/17 08:42:01| Using Least Load store dir selection 2009/12/17 08:42:01| Set Current Directory to /var/spool/squid 2009/12/17 08:42:01| Loaded Icons. 2009/12/17 08:42:01| Accepting proxy HTTP connections at 0.0.0.0, port 3128, FD 18. 2009/12/17 08:42:01| Accepting ICP messages at 0.0.0.0, port 3130, FD 19. 2009/12/17 08:42:01| HTCP Disabled. 2009/12/17 08:42:01| WCCP Disabled. 2009/12/17 08:42:01| Ready to serve requests. 2009/12/17 08:42:01| WARNING: store_rewriter #1 (FD 7) exited 2009/12/17 08:42:01| WARNING: store_rewriter #2 (FD 8) exited 2009/12/17 08:42:01| WARNING: store_rewriter #3 (FD 9) exited 2009/12/17 08:42:01| Too few store_rewriter processes are running FATAL: The store_rewriter helpers are crashing too rapidly, need help!
