First make sure that logrotate is doing all the work (squid reload), and that the init script has the correct paths/access rights to the PID file. --------------------------------------------- Chad E. Naugle Tech Support II, x. 7981 Travel Impressions, Ltd. >>> Sergio Belkin <sebelk@xxxxxxxxx> 9/16/2010 9:16 AM >>> Hi, I use squid squid-2.6.STABLE21-3.el5 on CentOS 5.4. The problem is that squid can't be restarted and "rotate" isnt working, I mean log rotating is done but I have to start the service by hand. /var/log/squid/squid.out it says: 2010/09/16 09:59:27| Squid is already running! Process ID 30874 /etc/squid/squid.conf contains: shutdown_lifetime 100 seconds /etc/logrotate.d/squid has: /var/log/squid/access.log { weekly rotate 3 size 3500M copytruncate compress notifempty missingok } /var/log/squid/cache.log { weekly rotate 4 size 1000M copytruncate compress notifempty missingok } /var/log/squid/store.log { weekly rotate 4 size 1000M copytruncate compress notifempty missingok postrotate postrotate /usr/sbin/squid -k rotate endscript } And what about PID file?: ls -l /var/run/squid.pid -rw-r--r-- 1 root squid 6 Sep 16 09:59 /var/run/squid.pid And what about disk space? Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00 145G 131G 6.0G 96% / /dev/sda1 99M 19M 75M 21% /boot tmpfs 3.5G 0 3.5G 0% /dev/shm If you want to take a look to init script, you can do it on http://pastebin.com/X1HEeq1G Please could you tell me what's wrong with my config Thanks in advance! -- -- Sergio Belkin http://www.sergiobelkin.com Watch More TV http://sebelk.blogspot.com Sergio Belkin - Travel Impressions made the following annotations ------------------------------------------------------------- "This message and any attachments are solely for the intended recipient and may contain confidential or privileged information.
