basically i was running out of space on the Squid server thats why i was trying to delete files in cache directory. is there other irrelvant files that should i dlete?? only Squid Server is istalled on the machine. when i see shortage of space then i removed /usr/local/squid/var/log/access.log /usr/local/squid/var/log/store.log and then /usr/local/squid/sbin/squid -k reconfigure(restart) after some days when space consumed then same process is repeated. if there is some better way then plez let me know ---------------------------------------- > Subject: RE: how to reduce space > From: henrik@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > To: m4madnimalik@xxxxxxxxxxx > CC: squid-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > Date: Mon, 15 Mar 2010 10:35:26 +0100 > > mån 2010-03-15 klockan 09:24 +0000 skrev Malik Madni: >> my cache_dir configuration is >> >> cache_dir ufs /usr/local/squid/var/cache 5120 16 256 > > So reduce that if you do not want that much in the cache.. the above is > configured for 5 GB. > > Regards > Henrik > _________________________________________________________________ Link all your email accounts and social updates with Hotmail.
