The OS is Linux 2.6.35 -----Original Message----- From: Holmes, Michael A (Mike) Sent: Monday, September 17, 2012 3:45 PM To: squid-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: FATAL: Ipc::Mem::Segment::create failed to shm_open(/squid-squid-page-pool.shm): (13) Permission denied I just added "workers 4" to my working configuration and I get an shm_open error. I assume it is trying to write to the root directory "/squid-squid-page-pool.shm" as the user squid which will fail. How do I redirect this?
