Hi, Trying to upgrade file descriptors from 1024 to 2048. When I try to add the max_filedesc 2048 to /etc/squid/squid.conf and restart squid It is saying: 2011/03/29 12:09:34| cache_cf.cc(346) squid.conf:41 unrecognized: 'max_filedesc' 2011/03/29 12:09:34| Initializing https proxy context Starting squid: [FAILED] I have been reading that squid needs to be compiled with the /configure. --with-filedescriptors option, but I installed from a pre-built rpm. Is the solution just to upgrade to squid-3.1.8-1.el5.i386.rpm?
Yes. 3.0 needs a rebuild to change the max in Squid. If the limit is reduced from that by ulimit then changign ulimit is all that is needed.
