Hey guys, Thanks for the tips, your right a recompile was needed. I find it odd because i was under the impression that squid 3.0 supported max_desc or max_descriptors. Oh well, i compiled with --with-filedescriptors if anyone finds this in the search. I confirmed the syntax with : sh ./configure --help Thanks again, this site is such a usefull resource! -- View this message in context: http://squid-web-proxy-cache.1019090.n4.nabble.com/File-Descriptors-tp2278923p2280261.html Sent from the Squid - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
