Hi all, I am able to run squid manually however whenever i try to run it through the startup/shutdown script it fails. This is the same script working for squid 3.0 stable 25 however i am not being able to figure out that why its failing on squid 2.7 stable 9? Neither of the instance starts with system startup. Please guide me i be thankful. My startup script and tail of cache.log for both instances is below. #!/bin/sh # #my script case "$1" in start) /usr/sbin/squid -D -s -f /etc/squid/squidcache.conf /usr/sbin/squid -D -s -f /etc/squid/squid.conf #The below line is to automatically start apache with system startup /usr/sbin/httpd -k start #KRB5_KTNAME=/etc/squid/HTTP.keytab #export KRB5_KTNAME #KRB5RCACHETYPE=none #export KRB5RCACHETYPE ;; stop) /usr/sbin/squid -k shutdown -f /etc/squid/squidcache.conf echo "Shutting down squid secondary process" /usr/sbin/squid -k shutdown -f /etc/squid/squid.conf echo "Shutting down squid main process" # The below line is to automatically stop apache at system shutdown /usr/sbin/httpd -k stop ;; esac tail> instance 2 cache file: 2010/05/22 06:05:18| Beginning Validation Procedure 2010/05/22 06:05:18| Completed Validation Procedure 2010/05/22 06:05:18| Validated 0 Entries 2010/05/22 06:05:18| store_swap_size = 0k 2010/05/22 06:05:18| storeLateRelease: released 0 objects 2010/05/22 06:09:28| Preparing for shutdown after 62 requests 2010/05/22 06:09:28| Waiting 30 seconds for active connections to finish 2010/05/22 06:09:28| FD 16 Closing HTTP connection 2010/05/22 06:09:28| WARNING: store_rewriter #1 (FD 7) exited 2010/05/22 06:09:28| Too few store_rewriter processes are running 2010/05/22 06:09:28| Starting new helpers 2010/05/22 06:09:28| helperOpenServers: Starting 1 'storeurl.pl' processes tail> instance 1 cache file: 2010/05/22 06:05:25| 0 Objects expired. 2010/05/22 06:05:25| 0 Objects cancelled. 2010/05/22 06:05:25| 0 Duplicate URLs purged. 2010/05/22 06:05:25| 0 Swapfile clashes avoided. 2010/05/22 06:05:25| Took 0.3 seconds ( 0.0 objects/sec). 2010/05/22 06:05:25| Beginning Validation Procedure 2010/05/22 06:05:25| Completed Validation Procedure 2010/05/22 06:05:25| Validated 0 Entries 2010/05/22 06:05:25| store_swap_size = 0k 2010/05/22 06:05:25| storeLateRelease: released 0 objects 2010/05/22 06:09:28| Preparing for shutdown after 63 requests 2010/05/22 06:09:28| Waiting 30 seconds for active connections to finish 2010/05/22 06:09:28| FD 15 Closing HTTP connection regards, Bilal _________________________________________________________________ Hotmail: Trusted email with powerful SPAM protection. https://signup.live.com/signup.aspx?id=60969
