There is no "FATAL: assertion failed " in cache.log. I think I'm misrepresenting the problem when I say "crashing". I don't think the squid server is crashing. I think it just stops handing out data to the clients. >From the client point of view it looks as if the websites never load. It just continues to spin. A ps -A shows squid still up. An /etc/init.d/squid stop and then squid -z and then /etc/init.d/squid start will cause the server to start handing out data again, for a little while (no more than 10 minutes), and clients get web pages. But then stops again. I've had to take this server off line (it is still up, but has no clients going through it) until I can figure out what went wrong. I set up 2 of these web cache proxies at the exact same time with the exact same hardware specs. And the exact same configuration. (other than IP information) One is on the 10.60.0.0 subnet and one on the 10.80.0.0 subnet. 2 different locations on the WAN. One of them is still chugging along great. -- View this message in context: http://n4.nabble.com/squid-crashing-tp1042510p1310881.html Sent from the Squid - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
